How does WeChat handle reporting results?

If you encounter online fraud on WeChat, you must remember to keep complete evidence, and then report it on WeChat and follow the above reporting process . The WeChat Security Center will deal with fraudulent accounts seriously after verification and will never tolerate them. If unfortunately money losses occur, be sure to contact the police and other law enforcement agencies promptly to recover the losses.

The "security prompt" of the WeChat system is also one of the important ways to identify fraud. Based on the big data model reported by users, our system will issue security prompts for scenarios that may cause risks

Fraud prevention:

1. Don’t trust the words of fraudsters and don’t be greedy for small profits. When shopping online, please try to choose a formal third-party trading platform to complete the transaction. Once you discover that the other party is selling counterfeit goods or committing fraud, please report it to the police immediately or click the "Complain" option on the WeChat client.

2. When someone initiates a remittance request to you on WeChat, please verify the true identity of the other party. All remittances, transfers, etc. must be confirmed by phone to guard against fraud.

3. No matter how you meet your friends, you must remember that “you need to be cautious when making friends” and do not trust strangers easily.
