Book a Spring Festival train ticket and watch out for phishing

What is the most popular? Of course, it is a variety of train tickets and plane tickets for returning home.

When buying train tickets and air tickets for the Spring Festival, more people choose to book online tickets and phone calls instead of waiting in line before going to the ticket window. However, pervasive scammers have also mounted this "position", and various fake 400 ticket sales hotlines and fake ticket websites have emerged.

In the Xiasha police station, many cases have recently been answered, and many of the victims are college students.

The sky won't drop pies, and air tickets that are too cheap should not be placed easily

College student Xiao Cai's home is located in Nanning. He spent his New Year's day off in his bedroom. He compared the prices of tickets on various websites and wanted to buy an affordable ticket. However, for large air tickets, the cheapest price for a single ticket to Nanning is 800 or 900 yuan.

"I saw a post posted on the Forum saying that some small websites are easy to find valuable air tickets because of their low popularity ."

On the evening of June 23, January 1, he found a high-speed website (www.eoald.com) through the search engine and found that the ticket for flying from Hangzhou to Nanning on June 23, January 21 only required 598 yuan. At the same time, Mr. Cai received a feedback message, indicating that the ticket has been reserved. Please send the cash to your bank account as soon as possible. Early in the morning the next day, Mr. Cai ran to the dormitory and sent 598 yuan to the bank account provided by the other Party through an ATM.

When Mr. Cai returned to his dormitory, he received a call. The other party claimed to be a high-speed Customer Service and said that the ticket price had just been refreshed. Mr. Cai's ticket price is now 498 yuan, it is 100 yuan cheaper.

The customer service also told Mr. Tsai that Mr. Tsai needed to get back 100 yuan. He could activate the ticket ordering system through an ATM and change the price. "You go to your account at the ATM, transfer money, enter your account, and enter the verification code in the" Enter amount "column to activate the account. Then, you can transfer the verification code to 498 RMB. The 598 yuan you just paid will be automatically refunded to your account later ."

Then, Xiao Cai received a text message with the verification code of 2489. Therefore, he operates on the ATM in sequence.

On April 9, January 3, the customer service called again: "The verification code was unsuccessful yesterday. I will send you another verification code ." Cai finds another ATM and then operates according to the other party's instructions.

Five days later, Cai called the customer service and stopped the service before discovering that he was cheated. The "Verification Code" was entered twice. The transfer amount was actually added with the so-called Ticket Fee. Then, Cai was cheated for nearly five thousand yuan.

After the online pre-sale of train tickets was opened, it became a bait for scammers.

College students are cheated by a train ticket booked on a fake website.

Through the search engine, Xiao Yu found the train ticket booking website and booked a train ticket from Hangzhou to Ganzhou. Then, Xiao Peng called the 400 Customer Service Hotline displayed on the website: "I want to ask, is the pre-order successful ?"

The customer service who answered the call told Xiao Peng: "I cannot find your order information for the moment. So, you can activate it on the ATM and I can see it ." The hacker operates on the ATM as required by the other party and calls the customer later, but he cannot get through.

Mr. Zhu, who works in a company, also booked a train ticket on the website. Then, according to customer service requirements, he ran to the ATM twice and was cheated.

The yellow girl who lives along the Yangtze River found a Ticket Booking Hotline starting with 400 through the search engine. The other party said, "I have already registered your ticket, but you need to remit the money as soon as possible to make the reservation successful ." After the yellow girl remitted the money, she found that she was cheated.

The safest anti-fraud method is to remember the website address of a regular ticket website.

Public security zones in the development zone have done statistics: From December 1 last year to January 11 this year, over a month, a total of more than one hundred fraud cases were received, including more than 10 fraud cases involving Ticket Booking as bait, the majority of victims are college students.

The police in the Public Security Bureau of the development zone summarized the characteristics of such cases and hoped to remind everyone:
