Scams that target minors
Telecommunications network fraud incidents targeting minors take various forms and are concealed. Many parents think that my child is just going online and playing games, how can he be deceived?
As everyone knows, the black hand of Internet fraud reaches out to minors, and the fraud trap is all around us! What are the fraud methods that minors are easy to be deceived? What should parents do? Let's find out together......
Telecom network fraud targeting minors
There are four main types:
1. Free Skin "Big Trap"
Claiming to give away game equipment for free, and then defrauding minors of money through "activation fees, authentication fees, and verification fees", and inducing children to use their parents' mobile phones to transfer money.
2. Red envelope rebate "killing fish plate"
Fraudsters publish false information about red envelope rebates through short video websites, chat tools and other channels to lure minors into joining the group, and then use various excuses such as handling fees, transfer fees, and red envelope fees to defraud.
3. "Anti-addiction" to cheat money
Under the pretext of "lifting the anti-addiction restrictions on games", minors are deceived into obtaining their relatives' WeChat or Alipay accounts and payment passwords through screen sharing and other methods to defraud money.
Fourth, fake celebrities send "fake benefits"
Criminals often use joining "celebrity fan QQ groups" as bait, claiming that they can receive gifts or celebrity signatures after completing tasks, inducing minors to transfer money or swipe orders.
Anti-fraud tips
Video games are much happier, online dating is more convenient, and the Internet is deep. Children in the growth stage should not be harmed and used by fraudsters, and it is hoped that parents will pay more attention to their children's dynamics, normalize positive communication, exchange, and guidance, and avoid children and families falling into such scams.
To be vigilant against the black hand of telecom fraud reaching out to minors, it is necessary to achieve "four non-gullibility" and "two protections":
1. Do not believe any news that advertises charging to crack the anti-addiction system, does not trade privately with strangers, and does not arbitrarily transfer and recharge operations.
2. Don't believe in "free collection" and "large rebates", especially when the other party mentions transfers, you need to be vigilant and inform your parents in time to prevent being deceived.
3. Don't believe the so-called "no threshold" and "high yield" part-time advertisements on the Internet, and ask for payment before joining is a scam.
4. Don't trust strangers who deliberately pick up people on the Internet. Do not easily add strangers as friends, and leave the group immediately when you are pulled into a stranger group.
5. Parents should take care of their personal mobile phones and payment accounts, set up passwords to boot and open the software, and prevent their children from using their own mobile phones to transfer money and pay.
6. Parents and schools should strengthen education and guardianship, increasing minors' awareness of countering fraud. Guide children to use the Internet moderately, strengthen the inculcation of children's knowledge of anti-Internet fraud, and improve children's awareness of self-prevention and screening ability.
When children are involved in money transactions in their daily lives, they must be more discerning and ask their elders more to avoid being deceived. At the same time, parents should also strengthen the education of their children, guide their children to use mobile phones reasonably during the holidays, improve their self-prevention awareness, and deal with complex network risks.
Again, as a reminder:
Safety always comes first!
Please protect yourself!
Tighten the strings of prevention!
Stay away from scams!
