Anti-Fraud Update - 112.06.15 Attachment
Dear fellow colleagues and students:
Scams nowadays have evolved into various forms, please beware! To raise awareness and prevent you from falling victim to fraudulent acts, here are some principles that could serve as useful reminders:
- Six “DON’Ts” while withdrawing the government’s NT$6000 cash handout:
(1) DO NOT trust text messages or emails sent to inform you to register anything.
(2) DO NOT trust phone calls made to ask you to transfer money through ATMs or online banking accounts.
(3) DO NOT click on suspicious links.
(4) DO NOT share suspicious links.
(5) DO NOT fill out your personal information.
(6) DO NOT transfer money through unsafe websites.
- Beware of suspicious investment opportunities or financial instruments:
Oftentimes, websites and private LINE/FB groups claiming to get high returns within a short period of time are scams. Not joining these groups in the first place is always the wise thing to do.
- Identify fake bank websites:
You may receive smishing text messages with a link attached to a fake bank website. These websites may appear very real, but upon login, your passwords may be forever compromised!
- Careful when downloading LINE stickers:
After tricking victims into joining fraudulent LINE groups, scammers might disguise themselves as acquaintances or friends by changing their names and profile pictures!
- AI Frauds:
Recently, a manager of a technology company was scammed for nearly NT$20 million within a mere 10 minutes, with the use of AI face-swapping and voice-cloning technology as fraudulent tools. Authorities call for caution when providing biometric information such as facial or fingerprint recognitions, along with the use and over-engagement of social media such as personal GIFs or videos – tools which may be used for AI-scamming. Besides, make sure to reconfirm when it comes to money-transferring. The number of AI-scamming incidents has kept on increasing in recent years, and the success rate has been alarmingly high – nearly 100%. You can never be too careful!
