Original title: "neighbor on Wechat, big liar?!!" "

"Hello, I'm your neighbor, xxx in xx room, please pass." such Wechat friend applications are common these days. As the saying goes: distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. In the face of such a friend application, most people will choose to pass it first and delete it if there is any problem.

However, many people did not realize that it is taking advantage of this mentality that a new Wechat scam is spreading across the country. Recently, Internet police in several places have updated reminders on social platforms to alert netizens to a new type of "neighbor" scam and avoid property damage.

What is the neighbor scam? And how quickly attracted the attention of the national Internet police? Next, let Xiao Lei take a good look at this matter.

Although everyone says that the neighborhood is not as close as it used to be, it seems to me that it has only shifted from offline to online, and compared with the small neighborhood in the past, it is now through WeChat groups in the community and other ways, the range of communication between residents is actually wider than before.

However, community WeChat groups like this have also become an active place for some lawbreakers, who get the personal information of residents in the community in some ways, and then search each other's WeChat accounts through mobile phone numbers and other ways. pretend to be "neighbors" to add each other as friends, or blend into the WeChat group of the community, so as to integrate into your social circle.

Their frauds emerge one after another, and they will vary according to the specific situation. For example, several swindlers pretending to be owners in the WeChat group will suddenly begin to perform "sitcoms" in the WeChat group. First, neighbor An asked, "I've sprained my ankle recently. is there any good orthopedic surgeon to recommend?" Then neighbor B replied, "how did you get hurt? if it's serious, you'd better come to the hospital and have a check."

After the scene is set, there is the performance time of the two "neighbors". First, An inadvertently reveals the identity of B's doctor, and then B displays some "evidence" appropriately to make bystanders subconsciously identify with his identity. Then B asked An as a doctor how he was injured, and A replied that he had twisted it when he was doing weight loss exercise.

Tu Yuan: Weibo here is the time for swindlers to see poor dagger, their goal is not a sprain specific medicine, because the sales of this drug is not destined to be high, their goal is to peddle weight loss drugs. In the following communication, An and B introduced a product in the form of each other that can quickly lose weight without rebounding by taking it with water. B also endorsed it as a doctor, saying that many neighbors and colleagues had a drink, and the effect was very good. Then it also released the Wechat QR code for the sale of the product.

Photo Source: Weibo, however, because there are so many flaws in the conversation between the two people, and the whole process is so fast that most people doubt their true identity, and then determine the identity of the two owners who are both fake. Not actually a residential resident. In fact, this kind of crude scam is also a good thing, which can not deceive people and at the same time make everyone more vigilant and reduce the probability of being deceived later.

However, we cannot extravagantly hope that all scams are so simple and easy to spot. Some "double springs" scams can be rolled out slowly in several days, or even tens of days, and finally close the net. This kind of scam is not targeted at hundreds of thousands of "weight loss drugs" money, but tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of capital flows.

Before this, there were cases in which several swindlers were mixed in a high-end residential area. they lurked for many days and set up a stage to act with each other, which finally made many owners believe in their identity as investment experts and entered the bureau under the introduction of each other. A large amount of money was handed over to their "investment team" to invest, and suddenly disappeared after selectively returning some of the investment and absorbing more funds. At this time, the owners involved in the investment found that they had been cheated.

Picture source: many similar fraud cases of Baidu have been exposed recently, most of the losses are relatively minor, but there is no lack of dozens or even millions of funds have been cheated, which is enough to make people alert and alert themselves.

A friend of Xiao Lei also received such a text message some time ago. The interesting thing is that their community has not yet officially handed in a room, and no one has checked in at present. What is this sudden "neighbor"? The friend application is naturally rejected, but it also makes people ponder: in a community that has not yet officially moved in, how does one's personal information be leaked?

After discussing with Xiao Lei, we think there are two possible problems: one is the property management company, and the other is the real estate developer. Before the property management company enters the residence, it is possible to obtain the owner information form of the residential area from the real estate developer, and then the people who have access to the form within the company are likely to resell the information to others for profit.

As for real estate developers, they hold more personal information about owners. In the past, there were a lot of news about real estate developers selling personal information about owners. For example, as soon as the new house was delivered, there began to be calls from decoration companies to introduce various decoration packages. The information is even better than that of many owners.

It can be said that if you want to completely avoid the disclosure of your personal information, it is almost impossible, so you can only proceed from yourself to prevent these frauds.

Petty bargains are not greedy for telecom frauds. In the final analysis, most scams are aimed at taking advantage of everyone's "cheap" mindset. Common frauds such as high-paid part-time jobs, part-time jobs at home, daily knot, investments, and weight-loss drugs that are easy to use are actually not brilliant. It's just that when they appear in the form of neighbor + identity camouflage, it lowers the guard psychology of some people and succeeds.

First of all, to be clear, if there is really a good thing, unless the other person is already very familiar with you, why should it be cheaper for you? Take high-paid part-time jobs and part-time jobs at home as examples. The former can obviously be published by means of external recruitment. I believe that there will be no shortage of candidates, and they can also recruit more suitable people, so there is no need to recruit workers in a residential area at all. As for the latter, part-time work at home means that there is no requirement for their geographical location, so most people prefer to leave these part-time jobs to friends or relatives they know well, and it may end up with a "neighbor" who has never met before.

The same is true of investment and other frauds. If there is really a chance to make a lot of money easily, there will certainly be no shortage of investors, without certain relationships and contacts, let alone in a community group. Say something ugly: "did you just save him? he wants to make a fortune with you he has never met before?" .

Of course, it is clear to onlookers that when you are surrounded by these camouflaged messages, it is often difficult to distinguish the truth behind them. of course, it is clear to onlookers that the current situation is confusing, and when you are surrounded by these camouflaged messages, it is often difficult to tell the truth behind them.

So, in the final analysis, it is still a saying: "there will be no pie in the sky". If the pie does fall, it is recommended to see if it is poisonous first.

In addition, there are tips from netizens under the relevant news: as long as you refuse to add any neighbors and join the WeChat group in the community, won't it be done once and for all? To some extent, this is true, but it is not wrong to give up eating more or less for fear of choking, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. During the epidemic, we have seen many community owners help each other and tide over the difficulties.

Completely isolating yourself from the social circle of the community will prevent you from participating in the decision-making of some things in the community, and you will miss some important notices at the same time. In addition, when you encounter difficulties and need help, warm neighbors are always a good choice.

So, my suggestion is to review the applicants who claim to be neighbors. For example, some people will take the initiative to say that they are neighbors of xxx in xx room, and they can contact the property to confirm. If the distance is not far, they can directly knock on the door and tell each other frankly that they are worried about the recent popular telecom fraud, so I hope to confirm the identities of both parties. I think most people will understand and support it.
