Just today, I almost transferred the family's hard-earned savings for half a year into the pockets of scammers, although now our country has a heavy blow to the criminal behavior of online fraud, but the methods of scammers are endless.
And it is becoming more and more secretive, making it impossible to guard against it, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the trap set by scammers.
Let me tell you about this newly discovered scam, you must take caution and tell it about it, so as to avoid more people being deceived, and the consequences are unimaginable.
I woke up in the morning as usual, and when I went downstairs to drive to work, I found a small QR code on the rearview mirror. It also reads "Electronic parking space map, scan the code for free parking", which I originally thought was a small garbage advertisement.
But after reading this word about parking, I instantly became interested, because it is really difficult to find a parking space for the location where I live every day, and I have to look for a long time in the neighborhood after returning from work every day to find a suitable parking space, I believe that many friends will also have this kind of trouble for me, right?
First of all, this idea about parking is in my needs, and then the current mobile app functions are very powerful and practical, and it is not strange to launch such a function, thinking that even if it costs some money to solve the problem of finding a parking space every day, it is worth it.
What's more, the one being promoted now should be a free trial feature, so why don't I try it? Maybe that's why scammers have caught us.
So I took out my phone and scanned the QR code on it, and a web page popped up on my phone, I browsed it, and sure enough, it was exactly what I imagined.
Download this app to guide you to the available parking spaces nearby as you approach your destination. And it states that you need to apply for membership to enjoy these services, and you can also give a free one-month trial after scanning the QR code to log in.
Seeing this, I thought it was very reasonable, so I didn't hesitate to click into the registration interface and start entering my personal information, ID number, mobile phone number, license plate number, driving license number, and filled in a bunch of information.
Then I successfully registered, ready to enter the payment link, I also didn't care about the three months only 88 yuan of the use fee, just because it was almost time to go to work, plus the traffic jam on the road, I plan to go to the unit and then use the time to complete the final paid registration.
But when I was about to arrive at the unit, I received a call from the manual customer service of the parking software company, when I was connected, I heard the other party's broken Mandarin and was instantly startled, I began to ask him some questions about the use, and gradually found that he had a lot of loopholes in his description of the functions of this software, which made me a layman also began to have doubts.
And he was very purposeful and urged me to send him the verification code he sent, and I only had the excuse that I was driving and it was inconvenient to use my mobile phone to delay with him. I obviously felt that the other party's tone was starting to be anxious, and even asked me to stop nearby to accompany him to complete the operation.
And the verification code continues to be sent to my phone. I asked you why this payment platform can't pay directly, but you need to ask me for the verification code, you can't be an Internet fraud, speaking of this, the other party was obviously angry, muttered a few words in an inaudible dialect and hung up the phone.
At this time, I have gradually begun to realize that the impulse just now may have almost fallen for a scam, once I continue to operate according to the enthusiasm I started, I will definitely not only lose the registration fee of 88 yuan, but the consequences may be very serious. Thinking of the balance of 30,000 yuan in my bound bank card, a cold sweat broke out on my back unconsciously!
Later, after sober reflection, I concluded that this was indeed a new deception.
So here with my own experience, I advise you that the methods of bad guys are endless, you must pay attention to identification, and don't fall into the trap of scammers on a whim!
I hope everyone will be vigilant and don't be deceived.
You can also share it with your relatives and friends to avoid unnecessary losses!
