Why are young people more easily deceived?
According to CCTV News, investigation data from the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department shows that from January to July this year, among the telecommunications fraud cases accepted by public security organs at all levels in Hubei, "post-90s" scammers accounted for 29.5%, "post-80s" scammers accounted for 32.3%, and the combined proportion of the two reached as high as 61.8%, becoming the largest group affected by telecommunications fraud.
Among them, the youngest victim of the scam was only 8 years old. In April of this year, a child in Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, was induced to scan a QR code while playing games on his grandmother's phone, and was scammed 10500 yuan.
According to a semi monthly report, the interviewed police officers told reporters that the majority of the "80s" and "90s" generation have received good education, have had early exposure to the internet, have rich channels for information acquisition, and have some understanding of telecommunications fraud techniques. However, in the face of carefully designed and constantly iterating network scams, there is still a lack of sufficient vigilance and identification ability.
The interviewed police officers stated that the main reasons for young people being deceived are: some young people hope to make money quickly, which leads to being deceived; Personal information leakage is targeted and exploited by illegal elements; Frequent updates and updates of fraudulent techniques are more confusing.
There is a saying in the recently popular movie "All for One" that goes, "People have two hearts, one is greedy and the other is unwilling." The ubiquitous telecommunications network fraud needs to be prevented in advance. The police remind that efforts should be made to restrain the mentality of gamblers, always believing that "pie will not fall from the sky", and achieving "no matter how the scam changes, do not transfer money to cope with all changes".
