National Anti Fraud Center: Don't snatch red envelopes during the Spring Festival

2026-02-13   

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and various red envelope activities are about to begin. However, before you move your fingers to start grabbing, I have to remind you that not all red envelopes can be snatched! The National Anti Fraud Center has also issued prevention tips to be alert to red envelope scams. The police of the National Anti Fraud Center remind that there are two main types of red envelope fraud: one is false red envelope links or QR codes. Scammers will post information on various social platforms that scan the code to receive a red envelope or click on the link to receive a huge red envelope, inducing you to click on the link or scan the QR code to download related fake apps, either implanting Trojan viruses into your phone, or stealing your personal information, thus committing fraud. The second type is to disguise oneself as a friend and send red envelopes. Scammers will steal others' social media accounts, disguise themselves as friends and send you red envelope links, using your trust in your friends to make you click on the links and carry out fraud. The police officers of the National Anti Fraud Center have summarized the common language used in this type of fraud, and should be vigilant when hearing these words. You have an 888 Chinese New Year red envelope, click on the link to claim it. Forward this link to three groups to receive red envelopes. Friends' exclusive red envelopes can be claimed by clicking on the link. National Anti Fraud Center Police: There are two main groups of people at high risk. One is young people, who usually play with their phones to grab red envelopes and are easily tempted by these high priced red envelopes. The second type is elderly people who are not very proficient in operating mobile phones, cannot distinguish between real and fake links, and are easily misled by official benefits or friend messages. How can we effectively prevent such fraud? The police officers of the National Anti Fraud Center have sorted out four preventive suggestions: First, ignore anything that asks you to fill in personal information. 2、 Do not touch anything that makes you click on unfamiliar links or scan unfamiliar QR codes. 3、 Do not believe anything that requires you to forward group chats or recruit people to claim. 4、 Be cautious of anyone who asks you to fill in your personal password.
