I have been scammed before, and although the losses were not significant, I have come up with the following insights: try to avoid entering sensitive information such as credit card numbers and passwords on unsafe websites or public Wi Fi, and do not trust one page shopping websites; Be careful of emails from unfamiliar senders, and do not click on suspicious website links or download attachments; Regularly change passwords, do not use the same password on different accounts, and try to use complex passwords; Instantly update computer or mobile systems, antivirus software, etc. to obtain the latest security protection features.

One day, I received an email notifying me to draw the latest iPhone 15. Just click on the link, fill in the address, and I will receive the gift. Looking back at the iPhone 7 in my hand, at this moment, I was tempted, but I knew it was a war, and the criminals wanted to use my greed to achieve their goals. In order to protect myself, after several verifications, I finally safeguarded my wealth and privacy, and let the tricks of the villains go to waste.

Recently, fraud groups have been rampant, mostly luring money for profit. It is recommended that everyone refer to the "5P principle" of the banking industry and evaluate before remitting money: People (who is the other party?), Purpose (why does the other party need money and what is the purpose and purpose?), Payment (if the goods have not been obtained, pay the money first, is there a possibility of repayment for the other party?), Protection (does this transaction have third-party credibility protection?), Perspective (Is the other person trustworthy before meeting?). In short, without greed, hasty decisions, multiple evaluations and rationality, and repeated confirmations with friends and family, one will not easily fall into the trap of fraud.

I am a counter clerk at Far Eastern International Bank. Whenever a customer wants to make a remittance, our SOP is to ask: Why do we need to make the remittance to the other party? What is the relationship with the payee? One day in September last year, a man and a woman came to the counter. The boy had a gentle appearance, while the girl was young and beautiful. The boy wanted to deduct money from his account and issued five bank checks for a total amount of NTD 17 million. I asked for the reason for invoicing, and the customer said it was a loan. Then I asked about their relationship again, and to my surprise, the client replied, "I don't know her." Then I continued to ask, "Why do I invoice the other party?" The client replied, "I want to invest in her company." I asked again, "Do you know what their company does?" The client heard this and turned to look at the girl beside him, as if he was completely unaware of the company he wanted to invest in. The supervisor standing behind me also heard this conversation and immediately contacted the police station to assist and persuade, and finally successfully prevented the fraud incident.

In recent years, fraudulent methods have been like chameleons, constantly evolving. I most often receive emails disguised as legitimate institutions or fake identities, containing tempting links or attachments. Once I click on the link or download the attachment, the other party can access your sensitive information. Asia Eastern University of Science and Technology attaches great importance to information security and regularly conducts information security education and training, keeping me highly vigilant against unfamiliar emails. I also frequently remind my family and friends to be more vigilant to ensure the security of property and privacy. (Asia Eastern University of Science and Technology/Huang Peijia)

Once during an FB auction, I received a message saying, "The system has detected that your Marketplace seriously violates the 'Community Handbook' and has suspended the account's rights. If you have any objections, please contact online customer service LINE ID: fb Facebook." Before thinking about it, I clicked on the official account of the fake FB customer service line and followed the instructions on the screen. During the process, I also received confirmation from the bank (which is also fake), It wasn't until it finally showed that I needed to transfer money through a bank account that I became wary. I quickly closed the page and dialed the "165 Anti Fraud Hotline" to confirm that the other party was really a phishing scam. (Far Eastern Group Xinxinpu Factory/Peng Xinyi)

When it comes to fraud, I have heard about it from time to time in the news media. Personally, I also often receive text messages of scams, including unpaid water bills, ETC tolls, electricity bills, etc., and attach a webpage link in an attempt to attract people to take advantage of it. It is said that some groups use AI or even wave blockers to create illusions, causing victims to make incorrect judgments. I also received a text message notification that I needed to pay for a package. At that time, due to busy work and online shopping, I made a payment to accept the package. After opening it, I found that the content was not my own and was not even proportional to the payment. I quickly called the courier company to request a refund of the payment. Later on, it was discovered that this was a blind packet scam in the style of shooting birds indiscriminately. We remind everyone to confirm before encountering the above situation to avoid being deceived. (Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection/Chen Zhenping)

I often shop on overseas e-commerce websites, so I often receive package notifications from DHL. The first step to verify is to go to the official shopping website to confirm the tracking code for package delivery, confirm the current shipping status, then enter the tracking code on the DHL official website to check the status of package arrival and whether customs duties need to be paid. The third step is to open the EZ-way app and declare customs real name authentication. After confirming all three steps, you can wait for the arrival with peace of mind, Never click on unverified websites to avoid being scammed. (Oriental Securities Corporation/Lan Xiaoping)

In mid November last year, I suddenly received a text message informing me that the amount spent by swiping my card was NTD5040. If you have any questions, please click the link to inquire. I was very shocked at the moment and started trying to recall when I made this purchase. Just as I was about to press the link button, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: Isn't this a scam? So I first called the issuing bank to verify the authenticity, and as expected, the bank replied without sending a text message. Perhaps many people, like me, can't help but panic when receiving text messages. I suggest calming down first and calling banks or police for help to avoid falling into traps.

One day, I received a message from a friend stating that she was in an emergency situation and needed my assistance in double verifying her account. Due to other friends receiving the same request at the same time, I immediately became aware that it was a fraudster impersonating my friend. If I agreed to the other person's request, my account may be stolen, and even used to deceive more people into obtaining personal information or requesting remittances. This experience not only increased my alertness, but also made me pay more attention to security awareness. In the future, I will be more calm when facing similar situations, verify the identity of the other party first, so as not to fall into the trap of the fraud group.
