During the epidemic, online shopping is becoming more and more popular. Many people are getting used to shopping online, but this has attracted fraud syndicates to scam on online transactions!
Especially recently, many online shops have been selling their products live on social media platforms, allowing customers to place orders directly. This has allowed some fraudulent groups with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation, posing as sellers and creating traps to scam people out of their money!
How can people tell if the bank account they are sending money to is genuine when shopping online?
In response, the Commercial Crime Investigation Department has launched a mobile app and a website for people to check before they pay.

However, it is essential to note that even if the person is not included in this list, it does not mean that the person is not a fraudster or has not been reported! If you encounter a suspicious seller or bank account, you should think twice before transferring money!
