Now, there are a lot of ways to cheat.
Some things in everyday life seem to be a coincidence.
Maybe it's a well-designed scam.
Recently, the North American Chinese circle has been spreading a piece of news
to remind people to beware of a new scam.
Canadian local media CTV News reported
that the mayor of Andalusia, Dennis,
suddenly received a strange package from Hoshido.
Open it up and see.
It's a $4,900 Apple computer.
Although he has never bought this computer,
the recipient is also a strange name.
But the address is really his home address.
When he was wondering,
a man who claimed to be an Uber driver came to the house.
He claimed to have received an order to come and get a misremembered package.
The two things are linked together.
Dennis initially thought
this could really be just a misremembered package incident.
Fortunately, before Dennis handed over the package,
his husband noticed that
there was a transaction of buying an Apple computer
on his Hoshido account.
The couple immediately stopped the loss
and did not hand over the package to the strange Uber driver
and contacted the Hoshido police.
They were also alert.
It seems that someone used their Hoshido account
to steal information such as credit cards
to buy this computer.
The package fraud case
actually happened a few years ago.
It's just that in the past,
after the swindler stole the credit card,
it was easier to send the package anywhere.
But with major companies
and banks upgrading their network protection systems,
the package could only be sent to an address
that matched the backdoor information card information.
Once the package has been sent to the victim's home address,
the swindler plans to take it away openly.
This is exactly the double-edged sword
that Dennis encountered.
He hopes to remind everyone
that when a strange package appears at the door,
do not hand it over to others,
but should immediately call the police
and pay attention to the transaction and bill
of the bank and credit card at any time.
The U.S. Prosecutor's Office also reminds people
to remember the following points.
Legal companies will not require long-distance visits
to customers' computers or mobile phones.
Its custodians will not require customers
to provide personal account username or password.
Legal companies will not require customers
to deposit cash, gold bars or precious metals.
They will also not require customers
to automatically withdraw and deposit money
If you meet the above requirements,
please be reasonable.
If you receive a suspicious call,
you can hang up the phone
and then call your family or friends to verify.
