"Your order is scheduled to be delivered, please confirm your address"...Don't tap the Internet address you don't know! [Anchor Report]

Before Chuseok, you will receive a lot of messages confirming the delivery address of these gifts or saying hello, so please don't press it carelessly.This is due to the possibility of

'text fraud'.

It's much more likely to be a scam, especially if the text came from an unknown contact or if the message contained an unclear internet address.

The government warned that text fraud would be rampant ahead of the Chuseok holiday,

In fact, the number of 'text fraud' cases detected by authorities this year has more than doubled from last year.

The police advise never to click on the link in the text until you check the other person accurately, as a large amount of money can be withdrawn from your bank account if a malicious app that can be remotely controlled through bait text is installed on your smartphone.

It is also recommended to install a vaccine program on your smartphone to update it periodically and delete resident registration cards, driver's licenses and passport photos stored in the photo album.

There is also a way to check if the text I received is fraudulent,
If you enter a suspected text message by adding a 'protective country' channel to
KakaoTalk, you can check whether it is 'malicious'.

If a new malicious app has been installed that I have taken care of but I don't know about, I should immediately contact the bank I'm dealing with to ask for a suspension of payment,

If you have already transferred the money after falling into a scam, report it to 112, and call 118 for more information for free consultation.

The holidays that should be fun can fly away with just one click, so be warned! Please be careful again.
