Xinhua News Agency, Xiamen, November 22 (Reporter Yan Zhihong) When you receive the "subsidy collection" notice from the company's "personnel department" or "financial department" email, would you click on the link in the email to claim it without thinking?
The anti-fraud police reminded that even the notification email sent by the relevant department of the company may be a "set" given to you by criminals. Please do not easily fill in sensitive information such as bank card number, ID number and SMS verification code.
On November 15, when Mr. Sun, an employee of a company in Xiamen, checked his work mailbox, he found an email from the company’s "Personnel Administration Department" mailbox.
The content of the e-mail is roughly: "According to the notification from the social security department, the country will issue subsidies from October. Please colleague who receives the e-mail to scan the code for self-service." After scanning the QR code, the mobile phone will jump to the "self-service" page , After filling in the personal bank card number, bank reserved mobile phone number, identity information and card balance as required, the mobile interface prompts "Your information has been submitted to the People's Bank of China for review."
Subsequently, according to further prompts, Mr. Sun filled in the SMS verification code received by the mobile phone.
After a while, Mr. Sun received a text message of the account balance change from the bank on his mobile phone.
I thought that the "social security subsidy" would arrive so soon, but I never thought it was a text message with more than 10,000 yuan deducted.
It was discovered that Mr. Sun had been deceived and reported to the police.
"Compared with the past practice of using virtual numbers to send text messages in groups, it is more confusing to steal the mailboxes of related companies to send'phishing emails'." Hong Hengliang, a police officer from the Xiamen City Center for Combating New Types of Illegal Crimes in Telecommunications Networks, analyzed that in this case , The criminals first stolen the mailbox of the relevant department of the company where Mr. Sun worked, and then sent a "fake notice" to the company employees in the name of the company department, inducing them to open the corresponding link and fill in the personal identity and bank card information in the interface.
Subsequently, according to the bank card balance filled in by Mr. Sun, the criminals determined the "target amount" of the fraud and then retrieved the SMS verification code sent by the bank again, finally achieving the purpose of stealing the balance in the card.
Although the tactics of fraud are escalating, but by keeping an eye on them, you can prevent being deceived.
Police reminder: First of all, the website URLs of government departments in our country use ".gov.cn" as the domain name suffix. If other suffixes appear when handling related matters, please pay more attention to them; secondly, general government services, related departments Victims will not be required to provide bank card balances. Criminals request bank card balances, mostly to find "prey"; again, any account-receiving transactions will never require the recipient to provide the bank’s SMS verification code. Asking for the SMS verification code can basically be regarded as a fraud; finally, even if it is a "notice" involving money matters from the company's mailbox, it needs to be confirmed by the sender on the phone or in person.
