The top page of the fake post office's website also says Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd., and the page directly asks the public to pay NT$60

At that time, the victim thought that he really only needed to pay 60 yuan, so he also completed the form and filled in his name , card number , security code and other card swiping information.

Unexpectedly, after sending out the form, I immediately received a call from the bank, saying that my financial card had just been bound to Apple Pay with an unfamiliar phone number. Fortunately, the clerk had notified me, otherwise I might be stolen and stolen my life savings.

1. Dial 110 to report

When you find out that you have been defrauded, you must call the police immediately, and do not spend time looking for other ways to recover the defrauded amount. And calling the police can allow the police to activate the deposit mechanism to detain the funds in the bank account to prevent the criminals from withdrawing. The beneficiary bank will withhold the amount you remit, and restrict the beneficiary account from being able to withdraw or send money within 24 hours.

2. Notify the bank

In addition to notifying the police, you can also take the initiative to notify the bank to which the card belongs. In addition to the bank freezing your account for investigation, you should also ask them to stop the card and replace it with a new card , because the card number and security code above have been defrauded by the group. Know, so the old card is bound to be unusable
