We found that there is a fake Carrefour online shopping website that is going to deceive everyone. If you search for "Carrefour cable phone", the fraudulent website even arrogantly ranks first! 618 is approaching, and shopping scams are endless. Hurry up and learn how to avoid fake shopping websites from fraud prevention experts, and shop happily without worry.

June is the shopping season for major online and offline e-commerce and department stores, as well as the carnival season for fraudulent groups... In a period when shopping platforms are scrambling to offer discounts, the ultra-low prices of fraudulent groups seem to be very reasonable, so we are in 618 also teaches everyone how to identify shopping scams to avoid buying fakes.

Today, I want to take a look at another shopping scam of Yaoshougu. Not only can't buy anything, but it will also defraud your login information, putting all your accounts in crisis.

Recently, we found that if you search for "Carrefour wired phone", the number one ranking in Google's search engine is "Carrefour Online Shopping Network-Welcome Home Carrefour" (hxxp://www.carrefaur [.]co/)

In fact, this site is a scam, you know?

The higher the search engine ranking, the more relevant the page is to your search, or the more traffic. In general, the first few points are right! But NO NO NO, even if it ranks first, you should look carefully, because this may be a trap set by a fraud group with "advertising".

There have also been fake Line websites before, and he also used advertisements to make himself the first in the search engine rankings, please refer to:

The ultra-realistic-looking Shanzhai Line official website is haunted, carefully downloaded malware and cheated

How Dangerous Are Fake Carrefour Shopping Sites?

1. Account theft

Whether you already have a Line account or are planning to register, you will inevitably fill in the account/password. Whether it is the account password of Carrefour, or the account password you want to set.

When you entered your account password, you thought that there was no response when you clicked the login button, but the login failed. There is a bug in the website? Wrong! In fact, the moment you press login, your account password will be sent to the fraudulent group, and may even be sold on the dark web.

Fraudsters can log in at any time using your account and password. In order to facilitate memory, ordinary people usually use the same set of account passwords on multiple websites. Fraud groups often take advantage of this to enter your account passwords in multiple communities or platforms. If you use the same set of account passwords as Line Group account password, then you may have many accounts held narrowly! It may even be used to do bad things (yes, although multiple sets of passwords are difficult to remember, try to set different passwords on different platforms and change them frequently )

In addition, have you noticed that the " orange " sign on this fake login page is trying to guide you to log in by phone, because many people may have several email accounts, but usually only one phone number! As long as he has your phone, he wants to try to log into your Facebook, etc., he just needs to guess your password, and even your password may be in the same group as Carrefour.

2. Personal capital leakage

When the fraudulent group has your account and password, when he logs in to any of your websites, he can see your " member information ", which may inevitably include your home address, mailbox, birthday, gender...

Therefore, the fraud group knows you better, and may even use your identity to create an account or do something bad. In the future, the police may come to you and you will not know what happened.

3. Expose yourself and others to more dangerous scams

When your personal information is leaked and the fraud group has a deeper understanding of you, he may use this to deceive you more deeply!

For example, if a fraudulent group calls you to tell you that there is a problem with your consumption situation and you need to operate an ATM to cancel the payment, if the other party can't even tell which consumption you are, you will of course think that he is a fraud, but if the other party can't tell you what kind of consumption you are You can tell exactly what you bought on what day and how much you spent... Does it give you a sense of trust! !

Moreover, if he uses your account password to enter social software, such as line and Facebook, he may use your account to privately message your friends and defraud your friends, but as your friends, he knows them. If the message is passed on by people, there may be no doubt that he will follow suit. Like a Facebook "is that you?" scam that goes viral

How to spot fake shopping sites

1. Invalid button/each button is login

There are many cruder fake shopping sites that miss some buttons and make some buttons become decorations that cannot be clicked at all. For example, the previous case of fake Line official website was to miss the button at the bottom of the webpage (this is also where many fake websites will miss)

However, this time the fake Carrefour shopping website is really done too seriously, the editor tried a lot of buttons and it is normal, but! ! ! !

Every button leads to the "login page", which is very abnormal. Login is usually only necessary when you need to log in. If you are just browsing, you usually don't need to log in, so if you encounter the same problem on other websites The problem, be careful, he may be trying to deceive your login information, so he eagerly pushes the login page to you.

2. Check the URL

Do you know what the real Carrefour official website is? Yes " carrefour.com.tw "! But the website of this cottage is " www.carrefaur[.]co/", it really looks like the real Carrefour, but if you look closely, you will find that this fake Carrefour website misspelled Carrefour! !

In addition, you can see if he has an SSL certificate . What is an SSL certificate?

The SSL certificate is used to check whether the URL has been encrypted by the web page. The easiest way is to check whether the beginning of the URL is http or https . If it is https, it means that there is an SSL certificate. If not, it will only be http. If you use a computer to open it, it will directly display "safe" or "unsafe" in the part of the URL.

3. Use Trend Micro Fraud Experts to Check Links

It's not just Carrefour that will be counterfeited, there are many other brands that have been counterfeited, although we really hope that you will be vigilant at all times, but even Xiaobian I can't remember the URL of every official website, sometimes I get anxious There is also no way to check websites one by one for suspicious vulnerabilities. Then you can directly use the fraud prevention expert to check the link at this time!
