[risk Tip] Please pay attention! Fraudulent text messages pretending to be the official of Fortune

Recently, some fraudsters impersonate the staff of financial institutions, lure users into the group through phone calls, text messages or social software, and then implement fraudulent activities such as stock recommendation through group chat. Fraudsters have more and more tricks, and their tricks are getting deeper and deeper, and Fu Tu and his peers are suffering from it. The butler arranged the tricks of this kind of fraud to facilitate the identification of such fraudulent activities.

The first step of fraud: send fraudulent text messages

Fraudsters will first pretend to be employees of financial institutions and send fraudulent text messages to users to induce users to add WhatsApp. This kind of fraudulent SMS is a common problem in the industry.Not only is it rich, but other peers are also cheated by impersonating their identity.See the screenshot.

You may be wondering why the above situation happened, and the butler is here to talk to you.

1. Why can swindlers send fraudulent text messages with the same sender name as the official?

For SMS operators in Hong Kong, the senders of enterprises come in two forms, as shown in the above screenshot:

(1) Public SMS channel, such as "QSMS" in the screenshot. This kind of public channel can be used directly by every enterprise, without any registration information or permission control when sending text messages. Everyone can use it. This leads to loopholes exploited by bad guys. After enterprises use QSMS to send text messages, it is easy for swindlers to use the same sender to chase and send fraudulent text messages.

(2) Private SMS channel, such as "Futubull" in the screenshot. This SMS channel for customizing the sender's name is a private channel that needs to be registered according to the requirements of the operator. But,At present, there are loopholes in the mechanism of SMS operators in Hong Kong. although registration is required when applying for a channel, when sending SMS messages using a private channel, no identity information is verified.. Therefore, even if Fortune has registered the sender name of the "Futubull" private SMS channel as required by the operator, fraudsters can still take advantage of the verification loophole to directly steal the name of the "Futubull" private channel to send text messages. By the same token, other companies that have been embezzled into SMS channels, including their peers, have become the "victims" of the above-mentioned illegal frauds, just like Fu Tu.

two。 Why do swindlers have the mobile phone numbers of corporate users?

Many users may also wonder why fraudsters know their mobile phone numbers. Is the cell phone number leaked? This question has been interpreted in detail in related posts before.

There are many ways for fraudsters to get mobile phone numbers, mainly in these situations:

(1) there is a problem with the operator agent.. These agents can filter the SMS sent by the enterprise, get the enterprise name, mobile phone number, SMS keywords and so on, and even know which App users have used by mobile phones by analyzing the network traffic.

(2) malicious App. Some seemingly normal App can "peek" at text messages, address books, and other personal information when they get more system permissions.

(3) Mobile phone virus. These viruses can gain access to the underlying data on the phone and secretly collect users' private data. In this respect, android mobile phones are the hardest hit areas and are more likely to be hit.

The second step of fraud: induce to join the group.

After a swindler successfully adds WhatsApp, he will be invited to join the group chat for various reasons, as shown in the figure below.

Fraud step 3: fraudulent stock recommendation

In the group of swindlers, there are a large number of fake accounts. The basic trick is to first recommend some normal US or Hong Kong stocks, which may rise or fall, and will win the trust of some people when they happen to be blinded by swindlers. The next step is to recommend Hong Kong stocks to the victims to carry out real fraud.
