Fraud methods are changing with each passing day. Although the bridge section is similar, there are always different evolutionary versions. Depending on the current situation of the individual, it may be careless for a moment.Essence
"Hi Yiting, do you remember me?"
"Here is a call from XXX (you can fill in any unit or institution name) ..."
"We can't send your package to the door, because your home address is incomplete, please enter the link input address."
The above scene is either pass the call or the SMS receives. I believe that many people feel familiar with their faces.A film that focuses on fraud in China is lonely, and there is a very classic line: "You have not been deceived yet, not because you are smart, nor because you have no money, but because you have no money, but the 'script that is suitable for you.On the way, just wait for the opportunity "
Indeed, the scams are changing with each passing day. Although the bridge section is similar, there are always different evolutionary versions. Depending on the current situation of the individual, it may be careless for a while, depending on whether the "script" is just right with your situation at that time.
In the example that the package could not be sent, it was received by my dad. Fortunately, he never bought it online, so he knew it was a scammer and deleted the text message.If he really bought a very expensive thing online today, and he has not received it, I am afraid that he will not treat the "false notice" so unhappy.For example, those cases that were informed of foreign bank accounts that were frozen or illegal were illegally stolen. For those who generally did not have foreign bank accounts, such fraud methods were fundamentally incredible, but for foreign bank accountsPeople, similar notifications can easily cause panic, seat in the seat, fall into the trap.
This is why the police often issued a notice about the latest scam tricks, and the news also reported reports about fraud almost every day, but people are constantly being deceived.Recently, a global survey found that in the year from August 2022 to August 2023, the fraud gang estimated that it had scammed about 1.4 trillion yuan in the world.Among them, the amount of victims in Singapore's victims is the largest in the world, with an average of about S $ 5,538.After this result was announced, many people teased or even laughed at Singaporeans to be rich and easy to deceive, so they became the best target for scammers.
Looking at the scammers' methods, it is aimed at these three psychology.First, greedy small and cheap: take super attractive offers or compensation as bait; Second, the mind is empty: deceived feelings first, and then deceive money after trust;Fang inch to cheat money.
Honestly, these natural weaknesses are not unique to Singaporeans, but the reason why we are more likely to recruit is believed to be related to the high degree of society.Although we are a small country of projectiles, the penetration rate of the Internet and mobile phones is very high, and we can use the social media platforms of Chinese and Western in the same way. There are no doubt that there are more channels and entrances to make scammers organic.Under the strict control of the government, Singapore is a long -term strict and peaceful society. It has made the Chinese people a weaker sense of prevention. It comes to the online world with strangeness and ghosts, ghosts and snake gods, and it is easier for law enforcement.
The Singapore government has always attached importance to efficiency and convenience of services, and has always focused on these two aspects in the digitalization process. When the elderly who are not familiar with English and are not familiar with technology take digital trains, they are more effortless to simplify., Taking the convenience of use as the primary consideration.However, convenience and security are a pair of contradictions, such as the basic element of network security -password, which is a measure of convenience and security.The most troubled approach is that all digital service accounts use the same set of passwords, and they are replaced from time to time without dual password authentication (2FA); but from the perspective of network security, this is extremely dangerous.
After a series of fishing fraud cases occur, the bank began to allow the depositors to set the daily limit of online transfer. After adding a new payment person, it must wait for 12 hours to transfer.The Provident Fund Board has recently implemented similar security measures. Members who withdrawn the provident fund not only have the daily limit, but also have to pass the face certification of Singpass.This layer of locks aims to improve the security of the network account, but it will undoubtedly make the process more cumbersome and make users more troublesome.
The survey released by the Information and Communication Media Development Bureau recently shows that most Singaporeans agree with digital technology to bring convenience to life and also intend to try emerging technology.However, about half of them are concerned about the risks of using technology because they are worried about fake information and online fraud.It can be seen that people have realized that under the trend of endless online fraud and the increasing means of being invincible, the convenience of digital technology can no longer be the only pursuit, and even some inconveniences that must be recognized and accepted to ensure security.
Digital service developers, while ensuring the indestructible settings of the Internet, should also make the operation program easy to understand and facilitate the use of consideration, so that the general public can take greater initiative learning and use.We should not be in parallel because of digital security technology and steps, and we should think about learning and mastery, because it is just a matter of time when we encounter scammers.
