Today, when social media prevails, we cannot ignore its influence, but it is often because of the openness of these social media that the scam gang can take advantage of it., Resulting in a hotbed for some social media into a scam gang waiting for the opportunity.
Facebook and WeChat are the two major social media. The biggest difference between them is that WeChat's concealment and closedness are higher than Facebook.
WeChat friends are usually known in real life, or at least a new friend who knows by friends; under the circumstances that they do not know, they are very unknown, because they are running out of the WeChat to send friends and eventually become friends.few.Most WeChat users will have a certain alert to strangers who have issued their own accounts to make friends with their accounts.
On the other hand, due to the high level of openness, anyone can issue additional requirements -there is no need to scan the QR code or enter the account number.Facebook friends can be divided into three categories: the first category is the real and friend of reality.The second category is someone who has known each other before.The third category is a person who does not know it at all, but it is just a friendly recommendation system through Facebook.
The source of the first two kinds of face friends is fine. The problem is in the third way to add friends, so that many unique ghost accounts can take advantage of them.The ghost account refers to the user who is not real -name. In various ways, they use part of the facial friends as the barrier, and the goal of other facial friends to scam money.
Frankly speaking, these ghost accounts have a high degree of recognition, whether from Facebook name, avatar, city, school, school, current work institution, uploaded text content and photos, all of them are false, forged, forgedThey are all reposted content.The term in the antique industry is "glance".
But due to the openness of Facebook itself, some users are not as high as WeChat users who have issued strange names required to send friends with friends.This degree of relaxation will vary from the number of the other party and their common friends; the more friendly friends, the lower the alertness.
Some Facebook users believe that as long as it is highly vigilant, even if the other party really has a plan, it will not be fooled.Even if it is a ghost account, as a barrier, with his own "common friend" to deceive other Facebook friends, it is also based on the latter's psychological quality that is easy to be greedy and has nothing to do with yourself.This psychology has led to some people's requests for the addition of friends from strangers, and easily agreed.
The question is that the ghost account wants these Facebook users who "lose their heart".Because the more friends who exist in real -name, the more they are like "ordinary Facebook" users, and they are more confident and more common topics to talk to other Facebook friends.
Take an example.Three years ago, I told a Singapore friend that there was a ghost account among his Facebook friends.The friend said that the lady operated the Hanfu tea room in Hong Kong and occasionally chatted through the Facebook information platform.Through multiple chat experience, this friend firmly believes that the other party is not the ghost account that I think.
In order to verify that I am not talking about it, after the consent of my friend's consent, I sent the Hanfu tea room address operated by the ghost account to a face friend living in Hong Kong. Please help him to check whether the address is true.The Hong Kong friend and my Singapore friend also knew each other. He found that the address of Hanfu tea room did not exist.Even under the solid evidence, the Singapore friend still believes that the Hong Kong woman cannot be a ghost account and did not delete her.
As everyone knows, it is this psychology that makes more and more ghost accounts have vacancies.Especially with the common friends of social celebrities, they are more and more handy when they send friends to other people, and the probability of making a crime after adding friends will increase accordingly.
I hope that in the spirit of fighting against the fraud gang with the enemy, Facebook users can allocate a little time to clean up the circle of friends. Once everyone can remove the ghost account like a bug, lose the hotbed and hidden hotbed and hidden hotbed and hidden hotbed and hiding body.In the barrier, the ghost account will have nowhere to live; isn't it a good deed to reduce the criminal success rate of fraud gangs?
I have a friend set up a Facebook account, but because of fear of online fraud, I simply do not use Facebook to make it a "white elephant".In all fairness, except for the potential fraud of the ghost account, Facebook is still a social platform that can quickly communicate and conveys information.
