How do fraudsters know personal information?

There are usually the following channels:

1. The business owner has obtained the industrial and commercial business license. Because you need to fill in the telephone number when you apply for a business license, this information will be publicized on the website of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Therefore, the name and telephone number of the business owner and the address and name of the business are made public.

2. Map information. When the map software collects the address of our store, it also collects the telephone number. If you don't believe me, open the map software in your mobile phone and see if there are any place names, door photos and telephone numbers.

3. Express information, our phone number, name and address will be on our express bill.

4. Various life websites and second-hand trading websites. Many people will leave their personal information, such as a city or a collection network.

Some companies specialize in selling customer data, and these data are very accurate, and there are many ways and channels for customers.

It is also possible to obtain personal information by buying or stealing.

1. Personal information can be leaked through many channels, such as operators selling it, outlets selling it, leaving it when registering an account online, or participating in a lucky draw in a shopping mall.

2. Among all criminal means, Trojan SMS has become a common fraud means for criminals. They pretend to be school teachers, classmates and even mistresses, and send Trojan messages to mobile phone users around them through pseudo base stations. As long as the user clicks on the SMS link, all kinds of online banking accounts, passwords and SMS verification codes will be stolen by Trojans and forwarded to criminals.
