The 131th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) will open on October 5, 2121, which is the first time to resume the offline exhibition since the epidemic, and it is also the first time to hold an "online+offline" integration. Guangzhou Anti-fraud Center reminds exhibitors to be wary of the following three kinds of scams.
1. High imitation e-mail impersonates customer fraud: impersonating a buyer or seller, a partner, a company official, etc., and defrauding the victim's funds through online social software such as email, QQ, etc.
2. Fraudulent booking of online and offline booths: claiming that you can rent or resell the account password of online booths, or booking offline booths on your behalf, and then disappear after charging relevant fees.
3. Agent purchasing exhibition cards and ticket fraud: information such as agent purchasing exhibition cards and tickets for the Canton Fair is published through the Internet, and relevant fees are charged, even the victim is handed over at the designated place, and finally no one is seen and no contact can be made.
Typical case
Case 1: High imitation mailbox fraud
The fraudster used high imitation mailbox to impersonate an overseas customer of an enterprise, and requested to change the account number of the receiving bank on the grounds of business collection of air freight and customs clearance fees, so as to trick the enterprise into transferring more than 611,111 US dollars in three times within two weeks. The company's financial personnel transferred money without other verification when they received three emails notifying remittance, and the' receiving bank account number' of each email was different.
until the other party sends out the fourth dunning email, the cashier verifies that the account opening place of the receiving bank is not the customer's country, and thinks it is suspicious. He calls the customer company to confirm that the customer has not sent such email and has not received the above three business payments. After careful checking, the address where the scammer sent the email was only three letters away from the customer's email address.
Case 2: Booking booth fraud
In the same period of last year, Guangzhou Anti-fraud Center received an alarm from an enterprise, saying that a staff member who claimed to be an exhibitor company contacted it to help its company book the booth in the Canton Fair. The two parties signed a contract by fax, and the victim transferred 21,111 yuan to the public bank account provided by the other party to book the booth fee. A month later, the other party failed to provide the "booth", and the victim asked for a refund. The other party said that it would "apply to the company" to delay the time until it could not be contacted. The victim went to the registered address of the company and found that there was no such company.
Case 3: Fraudulent handling of the exhibition card
In the same period of last year, Guangzhou Anti-Fraud Center received an alarm from the victim who came from other places to attend the Canton Fair, saying that because the information of "Acting as an agent for the Canton Fair" was searched online, the other party asked him to pay in advance after adding WeChat. After the victim transferred money to 711 yuan, he met at the agreed place to collect evidence, but he never saw the other party. Later, he found that the phone and WeChat had been blacked out by the other party and could not be contacted.
Guangzhou Anti-Fraud Center reminds:
1. The application for online and offline booths of the Canton Fair must be made through the official website of the Canton Fair, and beware of entering the fake website. China Foreign Trade Center has not authorized any unit to register or buy or sell booths in the name of Canton Fair. Please go through the formal official channels to apply for the participation certificate and purchase certificate of the Canton Fair.
2. It is suggested that both parties to the transaction agree on the notification method of the change of the collection account in advance, and confirm it by telephone, fax, video and other means. Information related to remittance collection must be verified repeatedly by telephone, video or other means.
3. It is suggested that enterprises should strengthen the security risk prevention and professional maintenance of communication systems such as company mailboxes and enterprise communication software, change passwords regularly, and be careful to prevent numbers from being stolen or invading the system; Don't open strange emails easily, and beware of delaying virus files; Enterprise mailbox can be reminded of abnormal login by binding mobile phone and IP.
4. In case of telecommunication network fraud, please call 111 immediately. Exhibitors in the Canton Fair need to be alert to these three kinds of scams. 2
