Following the one-yuan snack, it is now the turn of two yuan. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and men are attracted by the promotion of two yuan of meat dumplings. Unexpectedly, after downloading the application, the bank account lost 6,000 yuan.
《New Tomorrow's Daily News》Last Monday(June 12) reported that a woman bought a one-dimensional snack and was tempted to download malicious applications to enter data. More than 20,000 banks were transferred.
This time, readers fell into the meat dumplings scam. Mr. Lin ( 43 years old ) complained to 《 Xinming Daily News 》. Last Monday night, I saw an advertisement of two yuan of meat dumplings in Facebook. The merchant said he wanted to order 15 meat dumplings.
He pointed to the other party that it was more convenient to contact through WhatsApp. Later, the other party sent a single link. After he opened the link according to the instruction point, the mobile phone automatically downloaded the application.
“ We talked in WhatsApp all the way. After downloading the application in accordance with the instructions of the other party, I set up the account number and password, then ordered the meat dumplings, and there was a 10 yuan discount, cash on delivery, and later the application required me to enter Bank account information. ”
Now he feels that the input of bank information is a bit inappropriate, so he raises concerns with the other party. The other party asks him to add the order to the shopping cart, and then fill in the home address and contact number.
Unexpectedly, the next day (13 ) he found that WhatsApp's mobile phone number was replaced, and he also received a bank notice that about 6,000 yuan had been transferred from his account in the early morning.
“ My colleague called me in front of me through WhatsApp, but my phone didn't ring, I called my colleague, but another number appeared, but the head was the same. ”
Since he could not log in to the network bank (iBanking), Mr. Lin also inquired with the bank before he learned that someone had tried to log in many times before and the account was temporarily blocked. Realizing that he had fallen into a scam, Mr. Lin immediately called the police.
The police confirmed that the report was received and the investigation is still ongoing.
