Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, November 6 (Reporter Feng Guodong) As the "double 11" is approaching, Wuhan police recently reported a typical online shopping refund fraud case that has been high recently. The scam is highly confusing and has attracted many consumers. The police reminded consumers to take precautions.

　　According to the Wuhan police report, on September 20th, Ms. Hou, a consumer in Wuhan, reported to the police that she received a fake customer service call the next afternoon after online shopping, saying that the transaction of the goods she bought was unsuccessful and asked her to inquire. Ms. Hou logged into her shopping account and found that the goods she bought were gone, so she "registered" according to the requirements of the other party. That night, the "customer service" called and claimed that the mobile phone verification code needed to be verified. There were three mobile phone verification codes. She told the truth, and later found that her bank card was transferred three times, resulting in a total loss of more than 97,000 yuan.

　　On October 25th, the consumer Mr. Liu received a mobile phone call starting with "170". The other party claimed to be the customer service of the merchant, saying that a piece of clothing purchased by Mr. Liu online may have quality problems. In order to express "apology", the merchant will give him a refund, and then a refund link was sent, requiring Mr. Liu to enter the bank card number, password and mobile phone verification code at the time of payment. Mr. Liu complied, and as a result, the deposit of more than 10,000 yuan was immediately transferred.

　　The police reminded that criminals obtained consumer information through illegal channels, pretending to be the customer service staff of the shopping website to call or send text messages to consumers, and sending a refund link or QR code on the grounds of "system error", "out of stock" and "there is something wrong with the goods". Once the victim clicks on the link to enter the bank card information or scan the code, the money in the card will be transferred away. Some criminals use technical means to log in to consumers’ shopping accounts, hide the pages of their purchased goods, implant links with Trojans, and then pretend to be customer service to call and get SMS verification codes.

　　Wuhan police suggested that regular shopping platforms will not refund in the form of links or QR codes. When you apply for a refund, you should follow the rules on the regular e-commerce platform, don’t click on the link sent by the other party easily, and don’t enter your account number and password on unreliable websites. If the "customer service" asks for the mobile phone verification code, it must be highly vigilant. Consumers should call the police at the first time after discovering that they have been cheated, so that the police can start procedures to help recover losses.

Nowadays, with the continuous development of information and communication technology, telecommunication network fraud crimes committed by means of mobile phones, fixed telephones and the Internet frequently occur, and people’s property safety is seriously violated.

Beware of telecommunication network fraud

Protect your purse.

Please collect this article!

First, what is telecommunication network fraud?

Telecommunication network fraud refers to the behavior of criminals to defraud a large amount of public and private property by making up facts or concealing the truth through telephone, internet and text messages for the purpose of illegal possession.

Second, the common means of telecommunication network fraud

1. Fraud in the name of winning the prize

Criminals use communication software to release winning information to online users, and then cheat others’ property on the grounds that "deposit or tax must be paid first to receive bonuses".

2. Use online banking fraud.

Criminals demand that the victim log on to the phishing website of a fake bank on the grounds of upgrading the bank’s online banking, and obtain information such as the victim’s bank account and online banking password to commit fraud.

3. Fraud on the grounds of recruitment positions

Criminals take advantage of customers’ eagerness to apply for a job, and cheat others of their property in various names such as "post deposit, clothing fee and insurance fee".

4. Pretending to be an acquaintance fraud

Criminals steal other people’s QQ numbers, micro-signals and telephone numbers, pretend to be other people’s leaders, colleagues and friends, and defraud other people’s relatives and friends of their property on the grounds that others have a car accident or are seriously ill.

5, posing as a judicial organ staff fraud

Criminals pretend to be public security personnel, falsely claiming that the identity information of the victim has been exposed, and that the bank account is suspected of money laundering, fraud and other crimes. In order to ensure that the victim does not suffer losses, the victim is required to transfer the bank deposit to a safe account provided by the criminal, thus defrauding others’ property.

6, posing as a tax department staff fraud.

Pretending to be a tax department, vehicle management department, etc., asking the victim to pay a certain handling fee on the grounds that the country has adjusted the tax rate for buying a house and buying a car, thus defrauding others of their property.

7. Use online shopping fraud

Criminals provide false links or web pages to the victims, and then ask the victims to make multiple payments on the grounds that the transaction is unsuccessful, or the products sold are fake and shoddy, defrauding others of their property.

8. Use social software to defraud

Using social software, in the name of falling in love and making friends online, induce others to reward, transfer money, invest, etc., and defraud others of their property.

Third, how to prevent telecommunication network fraud

1. Not credulous

We shouldn’t trust phone calls and short messages from unknown sources. All calls to enter ID number or bank card information or transfer money will be hung up, and no text messages will be returned. Don’t click on websites of unknown origin. If in doubt, you can call the police or ask relatives and friends for proof, so as not to give criminals an opportunity.

2. Not greedy for profit

The reason why criminals can succeed repeatedly is often to take advantage of the public’s love for cheap. Therefore, we must believe that "there will be no pie in the sky", and ill-gotten gains are not greedy, and improper benefits are not desirable. Only in this way will we not be deceived by criminals.

3. Protect your privacy.

Protect your privacy. Don’t easily disclose your identity information, deposits, bank cards, etc. of yourself and your family to others. The password setting of the bank card should not be too simple, and it should be covered by hand when entering the password. When operating online banking, it is best to manually enter the official website of the bank to prevent logging in to phishing websites.

4. Call the police in time

When you find yourself cheated or hear that your relatives and friends have been cheated, you should keep relevant evidence (such as the criminal’s account number, text messages sent, telephone records, etc.) and immediately report the case to the public security organ so that the public security organ can file a case for investigation.

Four, the legal provisions of fraud

Article 266 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that whoever defrauds public or private property in a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also or only be fined; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated. Where there are other provisions in this Law, such provisions shall prevail.

　　At present, the global epidemic continues, the world economy needs to be restored urgently, and the need to facilitate personnel exchanges is increasingly urgent. In November 2020, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward a major initiative to establish an international mutual recognition mechanism for health codes at international occasions such as the G-20 Summit and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting, and put forward a Chinese plan for building a healthy, safe and orderly new order of personnel exchanges.

　　On January 14, members of the National Guard in the Capitol area in Washington, DC, USA.

　　On January 17, local time, the 72-hour countdown to the inauguration ceremony of the new US President Biden has entered. During the field visit, the reporter saw that Washington, the capital of the United States, which has been in shock since the riots on Capitol Hill, is now "fully armed". The White House, the Capitol and other places are "heavily guarded", and security facilities such as fences and roadblocks are common in the city center. Under the double shadow of the threat of violence and the spread of the epidemic, officials in Washington and nearby States have a suggestion for the American people who have the idea of viewing the ceremony — — Don’t come.

　　like confronting a formidable or mortal enemy—be on one’s guard against all possible dangers

　　The United States is fully guarded by land, sea and air.

　　"I’ve never seen this before."

　　The violent attack of demonstrators on the capitol on January 6 undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Washington’s psychological defense. The early warning of possible violent demonstrations before and after the inauguration ceremony has made Washington highly alert. Washington has continuously upgraded its security measures in the past few days and has entered a state of emergency since January 11.

　　In this case, the "nerve" of security work continues to be stimulated. According to local media reports, on January 15th, local time, the police arrested a man driving a truck at a checkpoint near the Capitol and found that he was carrying a pistol full of bullets, with more than 500 bullets in it and a forged document.

　　At present, downtown Washington is quite like a heavily guarded military base, with many soldiers, fences and roadblocks.

　　The U.S. Department of Defense said on January 15th that as many as 25,000 National Guard members have been authorized to assist in the security work of the inauguration ceremony of the President. This scale is equivalent to five times the total number of US troops currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

　　The Capitol and the White House are undoubtedly the two "key protection objects" related to Biden’s inauguration ceremony on January 20. The reporter saw that the Capitol, the White House and the nearby main sections have been surrounded by high fences to prevent climbing and roadblocks. Some major intersections have military personnel on duty and military vehicles parked, and security checks are provided for personnel and vehicles.

　　National mall, which is located between the Capitol and the White House, is closed for a week from January 15th. Washington Monument, the highest landmark in Washington, was closed from January 11th to 24th. Thirteen subway stations and several bus lines near the White House and the Capitol will be temporarily closed.

　　500 meters away from the North Gate of the White House, it can be seen that members of the American National Guard are fully armed to guard the intersection. 14th Street, not far from the White House, was originally quite busy, with restaurants, cafes and bars on both sides of the street, but there were few people this weekend. Many building doors and windows are nailed with wooden boards to prevent violence.

　　A passerby told reporters: "I have never seen this battle."

　　The capitals of 50 States in the United States are ready to respond to the demonstrations of Trump supporters. California, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin all started the National Guard, and Texas directly closed the capital, and some States prohibited carrying weapons … … Each state has launched a variety of security measures to ensure safety during the inauguration ceremony.

　　According to Politico, the transportation modes of land, sea and air have all strengthened security. Major airlines are now banned from carrying guns, and alcohol services on board are suspended. The airport has opened a safe passage to protect officials from the threat of crowds. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has also issued new regulations on high fines and even imprisonment for passengers in advance. In addition, trains and subways have taken corresponding measures such as closing stations or strengthening security forces.

　　Serious epidemic situation

　　The National Guard has no COVID-19 test plan.

　　The number of infected people is bound to increase further.

　　According to CNN, in order to ensure the security of the capital during the inauguration ceremony, the Pentagon authorized about 25,000 National Guards to travel to Washington. However, when this large number of personnel were dispatched, it was also the time when the United States had the largest number of deaths in the COVID-19 epidemic. According to Johns Hopkins University, in the first two weeks of 2021, that is, the first half of January, there were more than 3.2 million new cases in the United States.

　　A spokesman for the National Guard told CNN that most of the more than 20,000 National Guards had not been tested for COVID-19 before or after they were deployed from various states in the United States to Washington, D.C.. The spokesman said that the COVID-19 test for members of the National Guard was conducted "on a case-by-case basis", and those who had symptoms or had been exposed to Covid-19 were encouraged to take the test, but there was no extensive requirement. The existing screening procedures include temperature detection and screening inquiry. When the task to be performed allows, wearing a mask and social distance will also be carried out accordingly.

　　However, as we all know, asymptomatic infected people will also spread the virus. Without extensive testing, it is difficult to confirm whether any of these more than 20 thousand people carry the virus. In the event of a riot like January 6, it is impossible to maintain social distance.

　　According to the US Military Times, as of the afternoon of 15th local time, 43 of the more than 7,000 national guards in Washington have tested positive for Covid-19. As more national guards gather from all over the United States, the number of infected people is bound to increase further.

　　Jon harris, Major General of the Ohio National Guard, recently publicly expressed his worries: "I want to remind you that these National Guard people we called to work were doing other tasks the other day and had no idea that they would come to Washington. Bringing these people together is a real worry for us. "

　　Greater threat

　　There are "lone wolf" extremists recently.

　　Far more intense "counterattack"?

　　According to The Wall Street Journal, with the dramatic escalation of security measures in Washington, D.C. and state capitals, extremist organizations have also changed their strategies, which means that "lone wolf" extremists will become a greater threat in the next period of time, and it also means that a more intense "counterattack" may be ushered in for a longer period of time in the future.

　　It is reported that far-right organizations such as "Pride Boy" and "The Oathkeepers" who participated in the riots on January 6 urged their followers to avoid major cities with strong security forces at present, or to keep a "low profile" completely and avoid large-scale gatherings, or to gather outside the state capital.

　　However, these people still oppose the incoming new government team. Under the recent tight security, "lone wolf" extremists are difficult to monitor and pose the greatest threat. In the longer term, when the security deployment is relaxed, these far-right groups may become more aggressive in the next few months.

　　In an email sent on the 13th, the leaders of "Promise Keepers" also called the incoming president "illegal", demanded "assembly now" and reminded them to assemble near the state capital.

　　Enrique Tario, the leader of "Pride Boy", said in an interview on 15th that he is now considering some demonstrations that are "more effective, with fewer people, but can create more sparks", and may also participate in some non-violent activities, such as disturbing politicians’ speeches at rallies.

　　The Chinese Embassy in the United States "strongly reminds"

　　In addition to Washington, DC, many States in the United States have also stepped up their prevention against possible local violence before and after the inauguration ceremony of the president.

　　The Chinese Embassy in the United States issued an important notice on January 15, strongly reminding citizens and institutions in China to pay attention to the social security and epidemic situation in the United States:

　　At present, the security situation in the United States is extremely grim. Washington, D.C. has declared a state of emergency. The National Guard has deployed large-scale forces to safeguard the security of the capital, and various states have taken corresponding security measures to varying degrees. The social security situation is highly worrying. Recently, a citizen of China who is studying for a doctorate was shot and killed innocently. The epidemic situation in the United States is still developing, the number of confirmed cases and deaths has reached record highs, and mutant viruses are constantly appearing. The Embassy of China in the United States once again reminds citizens and institutions in China to raise their awareness of safety protection, pay close attention to local public security and epidemic situation, be vigilant and avoid going to demonstrations, assemblies and other gathering areas.

　　Know more about the news

　　On January 20th, Biden’s inauguration ceremony will be held in the Capitol as usual.

　　Trump has made it clear that he will not attend Biden’s inauguration ceremony. Although this is not the first time in history that the outgoing president missed the inauguration ceremony of his successor, it is also the first time in more than 150 years.

　　In the past, there was a presidential inauguration parade after the inauguration ceremony, which could March along Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House, but this link will probably shrink this year.

　　An activity was added before the inauguration this year, and a ceremony was planned to be held in the reflection pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the evening of January 19th to mourn the American people who lost their lives in the COVID-19 epidemic.
