Anti-Scam Guide

01 Be cautious when adding friends

If you suddenly receive a friend verification application from a friend or family, and say that the original contact information cannot be used due to various problems, you must be vigilant, do not rashly add the contact information of the other party, and do not believe what the other party says.

02 Verification of transfers and remittances

If you encounter an acquaintance on social media (such as WeChat, QQ, etc.) who requests a large amount of money transfer and remittance for any reason, you must first verify whether the other party is you through phone, video, face-to-face, etc. If the other party avoids the other party on various grounds such as "inconvenient call", "urgency", "trustworthiness", etc., you should be vigilant, and do not blindly trust the other party because of personal feelings, and pay money to the other party without verification.

03 In case of fraud, report to the police in time

Once you find that you have been scammed by impersonating an acquaintance, you must keep the fraudster's instant messenger account information, group chat content and transfer and remittance vouchers as soon as possible, and call 110 to report to the police as soon as possible.
