Luan County Police Tip: Beware of four fraudulent tactics when buying tickets online

The Spring Festival train tickets for 2014 have already been pre-sold. The police reminded travellers and friends that online ticket purchases must be made through regular channels, pay attention to identifying phishing websites, and do n’t easily believe in the transaction request for payment before ticket delivery.

In order to prevent such cases from happening, the police unveiled several common fraudulent tactics used by online fraudsters when buying tickets:

Fraud One: Fraud using fake websites and fake links. The scammers provided false links or webpages through false ticket-buying websites, and used the features of ticket buyers unfamiliar with online payment to deceive them into entering bank card account numbers and passwords and stealing the information in the card after stealing the information.

Fraud 2: scams that require direct remittances. Scammers often refuse to use third-party secure payment tools provided by regular websites for various reasons, or fake employees inside the train station to send money directly to their personal accounts.

Fraud three: charge deposit or deposit fraud. In this type of fraud, the scammer will ask for a certain amount of deposit or security deposit before giving the ticket, and then use the buyer ’s eagerness to get the ticket to lure the additional deposit or deposit for various reasons.

Fraud # 4: Fraud through number change software. On the one hand, the scammer pretends to meet the ticket buyer to meet at a certain place to give the ticket, on the other hand, he asks the friend of the ticket buyer to wait at the door of the bank, and then remit the money after receiving the call. Then, the scammer called his friend through the phone number of the caller's arbitrary display software to pretend to be a remittance, and used the time difference between the purchaser and the friend to deceive the remittance.
