Nowadays, various advertisements implanted in some mobile applications have reached the point of affecting the normal use of users.

Old people who are not familiar with mobile phone operation are frequently recruited, and even young people are not immune.

Among them, some advertisements even have hidden traps, and the target has been aimed at your money pocket.

  suspect

  Are you playing games or watching ads?

  "Zhang Rui! Come and help me!" Hearing his grandmother calling him, Zhang Rui ran over from the hut in three steps.

  "Look, my Sudoku is stuck, and it's like this." The Sudoku my grandma said was a small game that Zhang Rui had downloaded for her on the tablet.

There were no problems when playing before, but today, for some reason, it has become a promotional video for another game.

Zhang Rui fiddled with it for a long time, and he didn't know how to quit the game advertisement. He could only use the method of quitting all and then re-entering.

  After entering the game again, the interface finally returned to normal, and Zhang Rui went back to his room.

But not long after, I heard my grandmother's voice again.

Zhang Rui came over to take a look, and there were advertisements for other games on the tablet.

  There were two problems in a row, Zhang Rui had to figure out what was going on this time.

He quit the game and re-entered it again, sitting on the side watching the old man play.

At the beginning, there was no problem, but while playing, an advertising icon suddenly popped up on the interface.

The grandmother pointed to the icon and said that this thing also appeared just now, and she "jumped out" at one point.

  Zhang Rui watched it carefully for a long time, and then found a small "cross" in the upper right corner of the advertisement icon. After clicking, he finally turned off the advertisement.

But not long after, a new advertisement came out.

Cancelled again, will come back in a while.

The location where you click the "cross" to cancel is different for each ad.

Zhang Rui can still see clearly, but it is almost impossible for an old man with poor eyesight to click to cancel.

  What made Zhang Rui wonder is that my grandma had never encountered these advertising problems before, so why did they suddenly appear today?

After inquiring, he found out that when his aunt came to visit the other day, he turned on the wireless network of the tablet and surfed the Internet for a while.

When the wireless network was not turned on before, the small games on the tablet can also be played normally, and there will be no advertisements.

But once the network is turned on, these small games immediately become "advertising trash cans", and one pops up every few minutes.

  Zhang Rui never understood how these advertisements appeared halfway through.

But at least, once the wireless network was turned off, the game finally returned to a clean state, and my grandma's problem was solved.

  worry

  As soon as you hit it, you can't stop the download.

  The elderly are not proficient in the use of smart devices, and it is understandable to fall into the advertising pit.

And the advertisements in some apps are even for young people to guard against.

  It was Wu Chen's habit to swipe his phone before going to bed.

He likes sports, and he usually logs on to some sports forum apps to check the news hotspots of the day and the posts of other netizens.

But in the past month, he found that there were more advertisements for an app he used frequently, and the implantation method became a bit "shameless".

  In the past, the ads of this app basically only appeared when the screen was opened. After clicking "Skip", you can enter the app to browse the news normally.

But now, not only will there be advertisements when the screen is opened, but there will also be advertisements when a few posts are down on the homepage, and even when a post is clicked, there are still advertisements inserted between the replies of netizens.

The style of the ad and other replies is still very similar, and it is difficult to distinguish at first glance.

  What left Wu Chen speechless the most was that as long as he accidentally clicked on these advertisements, he would immediately jump to the download page and start the download directly. He didn't even ask "Do you need to jump?" or "Do you need to download?" Can't stop.

In just a few days, Wu Chen was "forced" to download at least seven or eight apps in the advertisements.

Most of them are games, and a few are shopping platforms or video platforms.

  The reporter also tried to use the app, and found that the advertising links in it seemed to be "especially sensitive" to the touch of a finger.

Even the most common operation of sliding up and down with fingers, if you accidentally click on an ad, it will jump to the download page to start downloading.

In addition, the screen-opening advertisement is also set with the function of “shaking” to jump. When opening the app, the mobile phone must be kept still, otherwise it is easy to enter the advertisement.

  The placement of advertisements in this app is still very routine. The advertisements always appear "by accident". Every time you slide your finger, you have to be careful if there is an advertisement hidden underneath.

In the upper right corner of each advertisement, there will be a canceled "fork" button. After clicking, you can also choose "too many advertisements" to complain to the platform.

However, when the reporter browsed the previous post just after selecting "too many advertisements", the same advertisement appeared in the next post.

  Sending private messages to attract customers is really gambling

  In addition to the advertisements that come with apps, the private mailboxes of many social apps have also become the hardest hit areas for advertisements.

Among them, some private messages look like fraudulent advertisements at first glance, while others are put on a layer of camouflage, which looks normal on the surface, but is actually tempting.

  Wu Chen once received a private message: "Go to the ××× website, let's watch football together! Basketball and football, there are all kinds of games." Originally thought it was a spam message, but after entering the URL in the private message in the browser, Wu Chen Really entered a sports live broadcast platform.

As mentioned in the private message, the games here are very complete, and there are several anchors broadcasting each game.

Just click on a football game and you can watch it normally.

  "It seems that other platforms are pulling users." Wu Chen didn't think much about it, but when he looked at it, he realized that something was wrong.

On the screen of the live broadcast, there will be all kinds of strange numbers and symbols, and the anchor is not very serious in explaining the game, but always pays attention to how many yellow cards were awarded on the field, and how many corners the two sides won.

Change to a live room, and the anchor started to promote it.

"Ask friends in the live broadcast room to download the XX software, and the platform will give you benefits for the first charge. The anchor will push orders in the group, and let's buy football together to make money."

  After changing several live broadcast rooms in a row, Wu Chen realized that these anchors seemed to be broadcasting the game for the audience, but they were actually attracting customers for a gambling website.

Every anchor claims to be "predictable", and betting with him can make money.

  Wu Chen didn't know much about gambling before, but he had heard stories of some gamblers going bankrupt because of gambling, so he was very disgusted with the anchor's behavior of attracting others to gamble.

In fact, Wu Chen only watched one game, and already saw a streamer lose money by not guessing "the number of goals" and "the number of corner kicks" one after another.

  Just as he was about to leave the live broadcast room, Wu Chen also saw an interesting scene.

A viewer in the live broadcast room, apparently dissatisfied with the anchor's hype about gambling sites, criticized a few words on the barrage.

Maybe it was because the host had just lost money, and the host started to curse.

"Fuck me if you don't buy the ball!" The live broadcast then broke up unhappily.

  The gullible dating ad money wasted

  There are more tricks hidden in the advertisements. The reporter found that some netizens believed in the advertisement of a dating app, but in the end, the "boyfriend and girlfriend" was not found, and the money was wasted.

  The reporter downloaded and tried this dating app, and in the first step of registration, he fully realized the app's intention to screen users.

On the screen is brightly written: "Please fill in your annual income, filling in truthfully will help dating."

  After entering the app, before the reporter did any operations, a young woman came up to chat up and asked which city the reporter was currently in.

Before I could answer, several more women approached the door.

  However, as more and more people came to strike up a conversation, the reporter also discovered strange places.

The greetings of these women are very similar, basically "Where are you" and "Are you on a date?" They look like robot messages.

After the reporter replied, the other party did not reply.

After seven or eight "women" appeared in a row, the reporter was about to reply when a line of words appeared on the screen: "The conditions for private chat are insufficient, she has set a private chat threshold of 100 gold coins for gifts." Then the reporter was asked to recharge, On this platform, 90 gold coins cost 29 yuan, that is to say, before a reporter chats, he has to pay a threshold fee of more than 30 yuan.

  What made the reporter even more dumbfounded was that the reporter temporarily quit the app, and after 10 minutes re-entering, he found that the previous greeting record with the "beautiful" had disappeared.

Click on the visit record, it is also displayed as 0, you can't even find who you were talking to just now.

  On the black cat complaint platform, there are also many complaints against this app.

According to the screenshots provided by netizens, in addition to directly setting the gold coin threshold to ask users for money, it is obvious that some "friends" know more about long-term fishing, first chatting, then tricking netizens into brushing gifts, and then blocking, the whole process is completed in one go.

Because the app has not yet entered the Black Cat Complaint Platform, it is difficult to further verify whether netizens' demands for "refunds" have been resolved, and whether their own money has been recovered.
