You can't distinguish between social platforms and medical channels
"Primary actor, assistant doctor", some fake doctors and fake experts who are engaged in medical advertising and marketing as "genius doctors", not only appear on TV, but also frequently appear in private marketing that is popular in recent years.
Some micro-business organizations first place advertisements on search engine platforms or WeChat official accounts, and then diverted to the private WeChat of "famous doctors", and then "ask a doctor" to scams based on the wording template.
According to reports, most of the so-called “famous doctors” are deliberately packaged fake handles, or even fake IP shared by salesmen.
Why is Weishang chosen by scammers as a "transformation" choice?
On the one hand, because of the huge user base, information can be frequently and repeatedly disseminated, and fraudulent information is mixed in between, realizing viral spread; on the other hand, compared with e-commerce shopping, "private domain" transactions are more conducive to fraudsters targeting different objects and repeatedly Implement the same type of fraud.
When telecommunications fraud gangs "transform" to create micro-businesses that "see a doctor", and when "Internet doctors" become the new vest for telecommunications fraud, they are shocked and more vigilant.
If we compare "Internet famous doctors" micro-business fraud to floods, we need to build at least several flood prevention walls: personal information security protection is the first wall; online platform supervision is the second wall; judicial crackdown is the last wall.
Only when every wall is built stronger can micro-business fraud not be flooded.
In the Internet age, personal information leakage is indeed impossible to prevent.
A mobile phone number, a user name, an email account, a circle of friends...some seemingly fragmented information may collide with complete personal information.
Wechat fraud can accurately find the target group. In addition to advertising and promotion, it is obviously also related to personal information leakage.
It is necessary to continue to improve relevant systems and strengthen the supervision of personal information security.
Scammers use private WeChat to carry out online consultation and fraud. The platform must bear the responsibility of supervision, improve the identification system and reporting system for illegal and criminal activities, and plug possible loopholes.
Whether it is a search engine or an official account advertisement, a screening and blocking mechanism should be established and perfected for advertisements similar to "Internet famous doctors".
It is very important for the victim to increase his awareness of vigilance and the ability to distinguish.
Just like social accounts and bank accounts should not use the same password, it is best not to mix social functions and medical channels, and you should not trust "online doctors" from unknown sources.
In addition, you must learn to cool yourself in case of trouble, and remember to discuss with your family and friends first. "The authorities are obsessed with the bystanders and the onlookers are clear" is an effective firewall.
Both illegally practising medicine, selling counterfeit drugs, or defrauding people's money, "Internet well-known doctors" are suspected of a variety of crimes.
According to the China Judgment Documents Network, since 2019, domestic courts have pronounced a final judgment in 22 cases of selling fake medicines and selling "medical services" on WeChat as medical experts and were convicted of fraud, including 328 "fake doctors". At least 29,000 victims were involved, and the money defrauded was as high as 190 million yuan.
The judiciary still needs to continue to intensify its crackdown, punish "Internet famous doctors" fraud in accordance with the law, and block the "transformation" of telecom fraud and the path of micro-business fraud.
