Chinanews.com, May 5 -- "I am an XXX financial customer service, and according to the regulations of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, your 'student account' needs to be converted to an 'adult account', otherwise it will affect personal credit."
Have you ever received such a call?
Towards graduation season, scammers are targeting the graduate user base. When you hear the opening statements such as "China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission" and "Influence Credit Investigation", don't be bluffed.
Be wary of the 'Student Account Upgrade' scam
Recently, Alipay issued a reminder that fake customer service usually deceives users into converting "student accounts" into "adult accounts" in the name of high interest and affecting credit reporting. Avoid anti-fraud reminders by guiding users to download and use a conferencing software to communicate. After gaining the trust of users, it is transferred to the so-called background "technicians", and the users are remotely controlled to enter the fake website, inducing the user to borrow money in banks and consumer gold platforms and transfer it to scammers.
To this end, Alipay reminds users: Alipay does not have the concept of "student account" and "adult account", and there is no need to upgrade.

"Moments for rent" is also a scam
"Alipay recruitment online promotion, no upfront costs, salary 700 yuan a week first settled half, every day clockwork circle of friends on the line."
If you see this message in Moments, don't be fooled.
According to Alipay's rumors, recently, Alipay open platform received feedback from many users, and saw money-making activities in Moments and other places that claimed to do promotion tasks through "Moments Rental", which were under the banner of "ant promotion" or "Alipay promotion".
In this regard, Alipay officially refuted rumors: such activities are fraud, please do not believe it.

According to Alipay, Alipay does not have projects such as "ant promotion" and "Alipay promotion", nor does it have money-making activities such as "circle of friends rental".
Alipay also mentioned that scanning the QR code to enter the website is forged by fraud gangs imitating WeChat, Alipay and other styles, and clicking step by step may lead to information leakage or asset loss. (Zhongxin Finance)
