Starting from next month, 800 yuan will be automatically deducted every month

Just thinking about asking for a renewal"
So, Mr. Wang followed the steps prompted by the other party
Download a meeting software for screen sharing
The other party pointed out that Mr. Wang's bank account was at risk
Two deposits of 9,600 yuan are required

Just when Mr. Wang was about to send the verification code to the other party
I received a dissuasive call from the police station
After learning more about it, the police told Mr. Wang
"Scammers through shareware,
When guiding you to scan the code and send money,
See your card number and card balance,
Thus further committing fraud"
The police also popularized science to Mr. Wang
Rules for the use of the Million Dollar Guarantee
Considering that Mr. Wang does not have a need for Facetime usage
The police helped him turn off the function
I also downloaded the National Anti-Fraud Center app

and successfully kept more than one million in his card
Thank you very much
"It's dangerous! One minute later the money will be scammed!
Thanks to you guys, thank you! ”
What is the "Million Dollar Guarantee"?
"Million Guarantee" refers to the security guarantee provided by a social software payment account with a cumulative annual compensation amount of up to 1 million yuan in order to prevent the loss of funds caused by misappropriation by others. When a user registers and pays with social software, the "Million Guarantee" will be automatically activated for free. This guarantee is the security settings that come with the APP, which is completely free of charge, will not expire or expire, and will not require payment to renew the insurance, and will not affect the credit investigation.
What is FaceTime?
FaceTime is a calling app built into Apple devices. To initiate a FaceTime call, you only need to know the other party's mobile phone number or email address, and both parties are connected to the Internet, so you can make a peer-to-peer call. It is this simple and convenient VoIP phone that gives scammers the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and carry out a new type of fraud that is different from the previous phone scams.
Analysis of FaceTime scam methods
Step 1
Fraudsters send FaceTime phone invitations, pretending to be customer service, claiming that they need to open a certain service, and if they are not processed in time, they will be in arrears or affect credit reporting, creating psychological panic for victims.
Step two
Guide the victim to click on illegal links, turn on the real-time screen sharing function of their mobile phones, or guide the victim to open an unfamiliar website to contact "relevant personnel".
Step 3
The victim is tricked into opening a bank or other platform to transfer money, promising that the money will be returned to the original method after the review is passed. After the victim completed the transfer, he hung up the FaceTime video call and lost contact.
Police remind
Contact the authorities to verify your identity
Go to the official platform or call the official customer service number to verify the situation.
Refusal to disclose personal information
Identity information, bank accounts, verification codes, and passwords should be kept carefully.
If you don't add friends, you won't open a video
If the other party asks for assistance such as adding a private social media account or sharing a video, you must refuse.
Never transfer money or borrow
If the other party asks to transfer money or borrow money, ignore it.
When it comes to credit reporting, don't panic
Personal credit is managed by the People's Bank of China, and no one has the right to delete or modify it, and if you have doubts about personal credit, you can log in to the People's Bank of China Credit Information Center for inquiries.
