In the following cases, WeChat will prompt "Please pay attention to verify the identity of the other party and beware of fraud".
1. When chatting with you, the other party involves sensitive words about money, such as RMB, bank card and borrowing money.
since wechat fraud mostly aims at defrauding money, wechat will give a prompt to help protect the property safety of users when money is involved in the chat. In this case, users must be careful. If you can't determine the identity of the other party, you must verify it by phone or video conversation.
2. The other party does not log in at the common login location.
if the other party doesn't log in at the common login location, it may be that WeChat has been hacked, and the hacker may use the relationship between the hacked person and other users to commit fraud. When the other party presents sensitive information about money, identity cards, etc., be sure to confirm the authenticity of the other party's identity.
3. When chatting with you, the other party involves sensitive words such as ID number and password.
In order to prevent the user's personal information from being leaked and the user's online account from being used for fraud, WeChat will also prompt "Check the identity of the other party" when detecting related words. If a newly added strange account involves this when talking to you, please report it and blacken it.
4. The other party has been reported many times.
If the other party has been reported by other users for many times, it may be a fraudster, so WeChat will remind users to be vigilant. Generally speaking, users will not be reported for no reason, so users who have been reported many times are highly suspected of fraud, and may even engage in pyramid schemes and other illegal acts. Please be vigilant about the business relationship with them.

Common WeChat fraud methods:
Trick 1: Pretending to be a WeChat friend to commit fraud
Criminals spread their nets widely by sending links with Trojan virus, especially for password attacks on QQ and WeChat. Once the victim's mobile phone or computer is poisoned, criminals can invade the victim's QQ and WeChat.
Kick the victim out of a small group at home or a large group in an enterprise, and pull him into a group full of criminal associates but with the same avatar, nickname and status. After chatting in the group to gain the trust of the victim, the criminal gang finally asks the victim to transfer money to a designated account.
trick 2: online dating gambling fraud
after searching the victim's information through dating websites, criminals actively add the victim as a friend, and associate with the victim in the name of making friends, falling in love, etc. After gaining the trust of the victim, they ask the victim to register users on the website provided by them on the grounds of asking him to help them improve their work performance.
Under the pretext of investment and financial management, the victim is guided to recharge the website and buy lottery tickets, guess the size, financial management and other products. In fact, criminals manipulate the background program of the website, run a false gambling sites and cheat the victim's money into his bank account.

Some criminals directly send the QR code to the victim to ask for payment after scanning the code.
under normal circumstances, in order to gain the trust of the victim, criminals will pay the victim the first principal and commission quickly, but from the second order, criminals will ask the victim to pay a large amount of goods for many times on the grounds of multiple tasks, and at the same time ask the victim to pay repeatedly on the pretext of card bill and task activation until the victim finds out that he has been cheated.
Trick 4: Online Prostitution Fraud
Criminals actively add "people nearby" on WeChat as friends. In the chat between the two parties, they disclose information such as providing young ladies and pornographic services and send explicit photos. After luring lecherous people to take the bait, they ask the victims to send multiple 2 yuan red envelopes in the name of collecting deposit, security fee, clothing fee and vehicle fee.
The victim was blacked out by criminals while waiting for the young lady's door-to-door service. Victims of such fraud are often reluctant to report to the police, and even when the police verify their deception, it is easy to show their feelings of not cooperating with the investigation.
Trick 5: online stock recommendation fraud
Criminals actively add the victim's WeChat, chat with the victim by words and gain the trust of the victim, and then drag the victim into the WeChat group, and then the so-called "stock recommendation master" bragged about the stock recommendation through the webcast platform, and other "stock friends" in the group helped to trick the victim into injecting funds into the fake securities trading platform.
In fact, the funds went into the criminals' private accounts. Criminals used artificial manipulation to make the victims profitable first, and encouraged them to continue to invest. Then they cheated the victims of their funds by creating losses, and persuaded them to continue to invest on the grounds that the market was unstable and the principal was recovered. After the victims raised questions, criminals cut off the contact information between them by closing the live broadcast room, blackmailing the victims and dissolving the WeChat group.
