🛡️ Cope with online crooks. Keep yourself safe.

In an age when everything is interconnected, crooks have increasingly complicated cheats. Knowing and having the right way to deal is important to protect yourself and your property.

1. Be careful of personal information first.

Do not unnecessarily disclose personal information - ID card numbers, bank account numbers, passwords, or ID card photos - because these are what crooks need to falsify their identity and access your account.

Before providing any information, the source should be sure that it is really reliable by accessing the organization's main website directly, not through a link sent by email or text message.

2. Know the most popular cheats

Crooks often use our feelings as tools, whether greed (tricked into investing), fear (claimed as a government official), or sympathy (tricked into transferring grants). Common examples include:

Call center gang: Calls to quote authorities to trick money transfers

Pseudo Selling Online: Open Fake Shop, Sell Cheap, But Not Send Real

Phishing: Send spoofed emails or messages into credible organizations to deceive information.

3. Check and protect yourself regularly

SET Security: Set complex and unique passwords on each account, including Enable Multi-Step Authentication (MFA) to add another step of security.

Check Accounts: Always check account and credit card walk lists to see if there are any unusual transactions.

4. What to do when confronting crooks?

Set your mind and don't just believe it: If someone calls in a shocking manner, don't just believe it or rush to follow the instructions.

Always check the information first: If you claim to be an officer, hang up and call the official number of that agency yourself.

Refuse remittances: If a remittance is mentioned, reject it immediately, and if help is needed, contact the bank yourself.

Blocks and reports: Blocking crooks' phone numbers or social accounts to prevent them from fooling others.

5. What should I do?

Gather Evidence: Keep Conversation Data, Money Transferred Account Numbers, and All Other Evidence

Contact the bank: Notify the bank to request the suspension of accounts transferred to crooks as soon as possible.

Inform to Police: Bring All Evidence to Inform for Legal Prosecution

Knowing and being conscious is the best shield to deal with online crooks. May everyone live safely in the online world.
