Routine analysis

01

Dedicated service industry personnel

Fraudsters specially select people in the service industry such as hotels and guesthouses to start scams on the grounds of "booking rooms", and take advantage of the psychology of employees who want to complete orders and provide convenience for customers to further commit fraud.

02

Confuse the victim through video

After pretending that the payment failed, the fraudsters deliberately make further demands to the victim via video chat. On the one hand, videos are used to create the illusion of "face-to-face" so that victims can relax their vigilance; On the other hand, the video makes a request for the victim to react in a short period of time, and there is no time to think it through.

03

Switch payment code to payment code

When you open the "Payment" page, the first thing that pops up is "Payment Code". At this point, you need to manually click the switch to reach the "Collection Code" page. The scammer took advantage of the loophole that the two pages needed to be switched, and took a screenshot or photo to write down the "payment code" while the party did not change it in time, and quickly swept away the money in the party's account.

Police remind

Payment software must set a password

It is recommended to disable the "password-free payment" function

Don't put your own collection code, payment code

Feel free to show it to others

Transactions involving money on the network

Be cautious
