Previously, some people in Guangdong were recruited.
Mr. Zhang (pseudonym), who lives in Xiangzhou, Zhuhai, Guangdong, received a text message warning of a traffic violation, so he quickly clicked on the link in the text message to see what was going on.
After Mr. Zhang clicked on the link, he found that the webpage said "Traffic Violation Inquiry Platform", and the content looked very formal, so he filled in personal information, bank information and mobile phone verification code, and the system showed that he had to wait for two or three minutes to see the results after completion, and he couldn't wait to exit the webpage.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Mr. Zhang received a deduction message from the bank, and he was defrauded of a total of 8,500 yuan.

How do you trick people?
Let's take a look
Analysis of fraud routines
Step 1: Get the information
Criminals obtain victim and vehicle information through improper means, and then send fraudulent text messages of "traffic violations" to the car owner through the number change software, and attach the URL link of the fake website to the text message.
Step 2: Obtain the card number and password
Once the car owner receives such a traffic violation reminder, once the link is clicked into the fake website, the scammer will further induce the car owner to fill in personal information such as ID card number and bank card number, so as to achieve fraud.
Step 3: Implant the virus
Another trick is simple and crude, the URL link attached to the scammer's text message is implanted with a Trojan virus, once the link is clicked, it will cause the mobile phone and other devices to be "hacked", and the scammer will further carry out the theft.
The public security organ reminds that the real traffic violation reminder will contain the time, place, and reason, and does not contain any links, and will not require the download of the App.
