Newsletter content:

Trying to lure people to click on the link to see the detailed question
2. What happens after clicking the URL
Enter personal data
After clicking on the link, people will be taken to what appears to be a DHL or Fedex website asking for personal data including:
- Name
- Contact number
- Address
After entering personal information, you will be told that you need to pay a small amount, so you need to enter your credit card information
Account accidentally debited
After the victim thought he paid only 12 yuan and did not hesitate to enter the payment verification code
In the next second, the payment SMS is here! ! Almost 60,000 yuan was deducted 💸
3. What should I do if I have been fooled?
If you see here that you have entered the card number and you have been charged, then you can do these things to reduce the damage
Step1. First notify the bank that the transaction is in dispute
Step2. Call the police and take the police certificate
Step3. Submit the supporting documents to the bank and complain to the bank
Step4. The bank will detain the money first, wait until it is determined to be a fraud, and will not return the money to you next month
4. How to Avoid Fake Package Fraud
1. The phone number is from overseas
One of the easiest points to identify fraudulent text messages and phone calls is the phone number. For example, the sender of the text below is from overseas.
Q: How do you know it is an overseas call?
A: The phone starts with + (eg +46, +235)
2. Take the initiative to call and ask the official
If you receive any suspicious package, you can call the official for confirmation before taking any action. For example, people who receive this text message can go to the DHL official website to find the phone number or mailbox, and take the initiative to inquire about the authenticity of the text message.
3. URLs are fake
DHL's official website should be: https://www.dhl.com
But the domains used for these fake package SMS are:
- www[.]dhl[.]twtracking[.]com
- www[.]tracking-tw[.]com/920spx
