Fraudulent SMS messages that threaten to expose privacy now appear in Beijing

The fighting between the police and the crooks has entered a new stage. The Criminal Investigation Corps of the Municipal Public Security Bureau issued a new SMS fraud warning again this morning: Starting from the 9th, SMS messages that fraudulently threatened to expose privacy began to appear in Beijing. Within a day, the police had received more than ten alarms.

"The evidence of your derailment has been grasped by me. If you do n’t want the ambiguous photos to fall into the hands of your family, please quickly pay 10,000 yuan to your account, otherwise you will be at your own risk." A text message. Because he never asked himself to "indulge in indulgence", Mr. Zhang, who had no one in mind, called the police without hesitation. Within 24 hours, the Beijing police have received alarm calls from more than a dozen citizens. At present, the police do not yet know whether someone has been fooled.

According to the current situation of the police, the police found that the mobile phone number segment for sending SMS is 1580, and the mantissa is basically 4220, 4209, 4222 and the like. There is no owner registration information for these numbers, either dynamic zone or listening card. Unlike in the past, the original SMS scams basically came from Guangdong and Fujian, and the mobile phones used in this round of fraud were all numbers in the Beijing area.

Zhang Shuyi, a police officer from the three detachments of the Criminal Investigation Corps, said that most of the previous scams were under the banner of economic activity or using people's greed and concerns about the safety of relatives and friends, but now they are beginning to use threats. However, judging from the current "effect" of this kind of SMS fraud, the "harvest" of the scammers will not be as high as the original "off-site consumption", "car tax refund" and other short messages.

"Yesterday's alarm calls are basically 133 mobile phone users. Our analysis should gradually develop to other numbers in the last few days. There may be more and more citizens who receive such text messages." Zhang Shuyi said.

The reporter also learned from the Criminal Investigation Corps that due to the timely intervention of this newspaper and other news media, the SMS guessing method of "guess who I am" had not been popular before. On the day the report was issued, at least four people in the city saw the report of the newspaper before sending the money, avoiding major losses. Ma Xichu, deputy commander of the Criminal Investigation Corps, said that although the methods of the scammers are still being updated, they are now beginning to show signs of "being poor." However, similar phone scams or text message scams may have new variants in the future. I hope that the citizens will pay close attention to this when they receive this information, and promptly report suspicious situations to the police.
