诈骗的种类

祖父母诈骗

工作原理: A supposed family member will contact you indicating that they are in trouble, usually in a foreign country and need money quick to get them out of trouble. They may say to you: “Please do not tell (other family members)”. Scammers will have information about the family member and will use this knowledge to gain trust / credibility (remember there is personal information on the internet that many can access from social media sites etc.). Scammers may represent themselves as an attorney or other official to direct where and how money should be sent to save the family member from jail etc.

如何保护自己: Speak with others to verify the status of the family member. Use independent verification to find the real agencies the Scammer is representing them as.
