Note: If you receive any call (including 10086 or 100 10) saying that you are checking your mobile phone line and asking you to press # or any other button, please do not press these buttons and end the call immediately. That's a fraudulent company. After you press # or other buttons, their machines can be connected to your SIM card and make calls with your money. Forward this message to as many friends as possible to stop this fraud. This news has been confirmed by Motorola and Nokia. Now there are more than one million mobile phones infected with this virus all over the world. You can also check the news on CNN website.
Recently, many citizens received such a warning message forwarded through mobile phones or the Internet: "If you receive a phone call asking to check the phone line and ask to press # or any other button, don't press it, then your mobile phone will be infected with a virus, and fraudsters can make calls with your phone bill" (see the left table for the full text of the message). However, a few days ago, Nokia, Motorola and other mobile phone manufacturers as well as China Mobile and China Telecom confirmed that the above information was a rumor. The reporter's investigation found that the information was actually a prank with a history of more than ten years in Europe and America.
Manufacturer industry: this is rumor and fraudulent information.
In response to the above short message content, relevant mobile phone manufacturers and communication companies said in an interview that this is a rumor.
The head of Nokia's South China public relations told the Information Times reporter that Nokia has never confirmed this information, and the online statement is incorrect. "This kind of information should be immediately reflected by users as fraudulent information." Motorola's public relations staff also hold the same view, saying that the company has not confirmed similar news.
Similarly, the China Mobile 10086 service hotline interviewed by the reporter clearly stated: "This is a rumor." The staff of 10086 said that as long as users protect their passwords, it is impossible for any fraud company to easily steal users' personal information and phone bills. He also said, "China Mobile Company has very strict measures to prevent similar fraud, and no fraudster can easily succeed."
The staff of China Telecom Hotline 10000 said that they had not received the notice from their superiors about the news, and thought it was just a rumor and could not be true.
Reporter's investigation: pranks spread from 1999.
The reporter's investigation found that if you identify it, you can find the loophole of this information. The phone bill is not stored in the SIM card of the mobile phone, but entered the account of the telecom company. Therefore, mobile phone companies such as Nokia and Motorola cannot "confirm" this information.
The reporter searched repeatedly from CNN and found no relevant English information. On the contrary, he found that many English websites said it was just a prank message.
According to an American website specializing in all kinds of pranks, this kind of "mobile phone prank" has a long history. Repeat the cycle from 1999. "This news is false and has never been confirmed by Nokia and Motorola." The website said that with the emergence of real mobile phone virus in 2004, this "rumor" began to spread again. According to the website, the existing mobile phone virus is far less serious than the news said: "This rumor seriously exaggerates the harm of mobile phone virus. If millions of mobile phones around the world were infected like this, it would have become the headline of science and technology news. "
