Primary version of fraud:
1. SMS fraud
After placing an order, if the fraudster finds that your mobile phone number (such as Alipay account or WeChat account) is revealed in your payment method, he will chat with you to delay time and then send you a fake payment SMS and click to confirm payment. If you are careless and fail to verify the balance before releasing it, you are easily deceived. (You need to log in to the online banking to check the balance or download the mobile APP to check the balance, and release it after confirming the receipt)
2. "Please pay on my behalf"
When the fraudster chooses to use Alipay to pay, he chooses the picture of "Please pay XXX yuan on my behalf". This picture is almost the same as the transfer picture. If you do not verify the balance, it is easy to release it without receiving the transfer.
In addition: When transferring money, you need to pay attention to whether the other party uses a limited amount to receive the payment QR code. If it is directly displayed after scanning the code, please pay XXXXX yuan, which means that the fraudster directly sets the payment amount. For example, if you purchase an order of 100 yuan, the other party sets a 1,000 yuan payment QR code. If you do not carefully verify the transfer amount, it is easy to transfer more money.
3. P-image fraud
In this type of fraud, the scammer sends a fake receipt after placing an order and clicking to confirm payment. If you have not confirmed the receipt, it is easy to be deceived if you directly verify the receipt to release it. At this time, you must log in to your bank account to verify whether the balance has increased, and check the Alipay and WeChat bills to verify the receipt.
Advanced version of fraud:
1. Two users place two orders with exactly the same amount at the same time. A does not mark the payment as paid after payment. B has not paid and clicks to confirm the payment and provides A's transfer voucher screenshot to urge release. If you are in a hurry to release it at this time, it is easy to release it by mistake without verifying the transferor. At this time, A can provide a payment voucher to request release.
2. Place an order for 10,000 yuan and pay 1,000 yuan or place 1,000 USDT and pay 1,000 yuan, etc. Such operations can be fed back to the customer service to verify why the other party performed such operations. (This type of operation is not necessarily a scammer, it may be a novice user)
Advanced version of fraud:
Scam 1:
Scammers A and B take your order, send WeChat to add friends, and use reasons such as: long-term cooperation, consider it, etc. to lurk in your friend list.
After lurking for a while, scammer A changes the WeChat information to another person's information, and then contacts you to buy, wanting to go through the offline process and find someone to guarantee (this person may be customer service, official staff, or a celebrity in the currency circle). So scammer B changes the WeChat information to the information of customer service or a celebrity in the currency circle for guarantee. A will group B with you for transactions. If you transfer coins without receiving the money, you will be deceived.
Note: Scammer B may also pretend to be other members of the same team to request to transfer coins to a certain address, and may also pretend to be a platform customer service to provide fake screenshots for fraud. Huobi staff will not conduct any guaranteed transactions.
Scam 2:
A and C go to B offline together. A first goes to C and says that he wants to buy a coin for 20,000 yuan (the market price is a little higher than 20,000 yuan). I will put up an advertisement and call him: B, come and place an order. Then A goes to B and tells him that he has a coin to sell to him at a low price of 20,000 yuan. He asks him to place an advertisement and I will place the order. Then he asks C to take a screenshot of the order and send it to him. He then sends the screenshot to B and tells B to say A's name in the order chat window, or not to say anything. Then he tells C on WeChat that he needs to transfer the money to his other account. In order to prove that it is his own advertisement, he will provide his name in the chat window. Then C transfers the money to A. B cannot release the order without receiving the money.
Note: Do not say someone's name in the order chat window. The payment must be made to the payment method bound to the other party and it must be consistent with the real name displayed on the platform.
