Recently, WeChat Security Center and Alipay official WeChat have issued an urgent reminder to remind users of a new type of fraud. It is understood that scammers impersonate "customer service" and other identities, and use the "FaceTime" function of Apple phones to initiate video calls to users, thereby committing fraud.

This kind of scam is quite clever and irresistible. The fraudsters will first pretend to be customer service personnel of WeChat or Alipay, claiming that there is an abnormal situation in the user's account, which needs to be verified and handled. Next, they will initiate video calls to the user through the FaceTime function to establish a trust relationship with the user.

Unbelievable

In video calls, fraudsters will use various excuses to ask users to provide personal sensitive information, such as account passwords, ID numbers, etc. Some scammers may even claim that the user's account has been frozen and require the user to provide bank card information to unfreeze the account. Although these techniques may seem reasonable, they are actually all aimed at obtaining users' personal information for further fraud activities.

In order to prevent this kind of fraud, WeChat Security Center and Alipay official WeChat remind users to stay alert and not trust strangers' requests. In case of similar situations, you should take the initiative to contact WeChat or Alipay official customer service to verify your identity and situation. At the same time, do not arbitrarily disclose personal sensitive information, especially important information such as account passwords.

Personal information cannot be disclosed

In addition to reminding users to remain vigilant, the WeChat Security Center and Alipay official WeChat also said that they would increase their efforts to crack down on such scams and try to reduce users' losses through technical means and manual review. At the same time, they also call on users to actively report such scams and jointly maintain the network security environment.

This reminder has attracted high attention and attention from users. Many users have expressed that they will strengthen their security awareness and improve their ability to identify scams. At the same time, they also called on relevant departments to intensify the fight against Internet fraud and protect the legitimate rights and interests of users.

In a word, the emergency reminders issued by WeChat and Alipay remind us again that online frauds are emerging in endlessly. We must remain vigilant and improve our security awareness. Only by strengthening one's own awareness of prevention can we effectively prevent and respond to the threats of various online scams. Let's work together to create a secure and reliable network environment.
