Attention! The same number, calling and texting are not necessarily the same person!

"Leadership SMS notifies the mobile phone that a new number has been changed." You are alert and call back the number. If you confirm that the leader is answering, do you think the new phone number is really the leader? This routine will surprise you ...

Typical Case:

In August of this year, Xiaozhang, a financial officer of a company in Zhengzhou, received a text message from the company's Wang mobile phone number, saying: "Xiaozhang, my number was changed to 189XXXXXXXX. Please call this number in the future."

Xiao Zhang saved the new number, but also kept an eye on it. Instead of overwriting the original number, he saved the new number as "Wang's new mobile phone number." After that, every time Zhang asked for work, he always dialed "Mr. Wang's new mobile phone number". And the end of the connected phone is indeed a total replacement of President Wang.

A few days later, President Wang arranged for Zhang to book a ticket to Beijing the next day. Xiao Zhang quickly completed the task and reported to President Wang, who also confirmed that he received a text message reminder from the airline. Before Mr. Wang ’s flight took off, Xiao Zhang received a text message from Mr. Wang ’s new account: “You immediately transfer X million to Mr. Li ’s account, and the plane is about to take off, and I ’ll say it later.” Li is attached to the message The total account number and account name, Xiao Zhang then transferred tens of thousands of yuan to the account.

After Mr. Wang got off the plane, Xiao Zhang realized that Mr. Wang did not change the 189 new mobile phone number, nor did he request transfer. So far, Xiao Zhang was cheated of tens of thousands of RMB. After the police intervened in the investigation, after preliminary investigation, the 189 new number text message sent from the beginning was a scam!

Analysis of fraud methods:

The new number is clearly Mr. Wang, who answered the phone. Why didn't he ask for the transfer later? Did the liar imitate Mr. Wang's voice? In fact, the tricks of scammers are not clever, and there is no high-tech means. This is a typical "three-step" fraud:

In the first step, the scammer implanted a Trojan virus into the mobile phone of the company boss or leader, obtained a mobile phone address book, and sent a text message to the contact group, claiming that the owner changed the new mobile phone number, and induced the victim to save the suspect's number as the company boss. Or lead the phone.

The second step is to use the "call transfer" function to transfer the suspect's call to the real number of the boss or leader. When the victim calls back, the boss or leader really answers the call, eliminating the victim's vigilance.

The third step is to use the mobile phone Trojan program to obtain the SMS content of the boss or leader, find his opportunity to temporarily shut down the mobile phone, etc., seize the opportunity to send a text message to the financial staff or subordinates to request remittance.

"The scammer set the" Wang Zongxin mobile phone number "as call forwarding, all incoming calls will be automatically transferred to Wang Zong's original mobile phone number. In this way, the caller and Mr. Wang have no idea that the scammer has passed through An intermediary. "

The police reminded:

The first is that if you receive a message calling yourself a relative, friend, leader, etc. to change your mobile phone number, you must save it after verification.

The second is that anyone who requires funds transfer via telephone or SMS must be vigilant and must verify the identity of the other party.
