【OIA】!!!Fraud Ring Warming!!! Scam Prevention

 Stay away from SMS frauds! 

Recently, more and more scam messages sent via mobile imessage/ SMS.
For example:

• Recommend high-paying part-time jobs
• Recommend highly profitable investment plan, loan plan, etc
• The fake telecom operators said they would offer preferential treatment
• Notify overdue payment
• "I haven't received any reply from you for a long time. Please add me as a friend on Line!"

Do not click on the link to avoid being cheated.

It is recommended to turn off iMessage or install who's call app to avoid interference from scam calls.

The Overseas Community Affairs Council specially produces anti-fraud EDMs in Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Burmese and English. Please pay more attention to avoid falling into the trap of unscrupulous traders.
