Hazard: It's hard to distinguish between fraudulent and fraudulent phone calls
Recently, criminals have disguised themselves as customer service telephones through Internet telephony, and after acquiring user information through various underground channels, more and more targeted fraud cases have been made.
“Yesterday, I received a call from a self-proclaimed Jingdong Customer Service (Jingdong Mall was prompted by the mobile phone number software), and told me that when I delivered the goods a few days ago, I sent the wrong sign for the Jingdong error, resulting in a one-time transaction error resulting in 'monthly purchase'.

With the recognition function, some mobile phones did not update the database in time, resulting in the inability to identify fake numbers and adding a layer of umbrellas to the fraudsters."
