< h2 class = "News-Subtitle" > How to recognize fraud and check the account

< p > 1. Profile analysis:

< Ul > < li >Check the date of the first publications if the account is open. New pages without publications & ndash; This is a reason to think. For closed pages, you should pay attention to the number of publications, but this is not a guarantee, since you will not see when these publications are made & ndash; they could be loaded in large numbers in a few minutes on the same day.

< li > Look at the number of subscribers and activity. Unrealistically large testifies to deliberate cheats, and too small a number of subscribers without interaction is suspicious. < li >Review the content. Use of stock/generated images or low quality photos & ndash; Another sign of fraud. Legal shops usually take their own photos, try to decorate their pages beautifully, following at least minimal aesthetics. The fraudsters have no time and desire because such pages are removed very quickly.

< p > 2. Checking reviews and comments (for stores):

< Ul > < li > Read the comments under posts & ndash; If there is only emoji or the same approving reviews, it can be a cheat. < li > Search for reviews about the store in Google or on independent forums.

< p > 3. Checking contact information:

< Ul > < Li > If the store asks a prepayment, check Google if it has an official site or pages on other social networks. Fraudsters do not spend money on site development because it is expensive, and Instagram pages can be quickly deleted and new when there is no result from the current. < li >The presence of only one way of the SV & Rsquo; Inspection (for example, Instagram only) & ndash; It's a risk. Legal stores have phone numbers that you are served by the operator in the collector or seller in the company's physical store.

< p > 4. Payment method:

< Ul > < li > If the store requires prepayment due to unprotected ways of transfer & ndash; For example, cryptocurrency or paypal & ndash; It is alarming.

< LI > Payment on a personal card simply at its number, not the IBAN code of the enterprise, can also indicate fraud. Legal shops work on payment to the entrepreneur account or connect to their resources payment system (ecuvailing) that allows you to enter the card number and quickly pay right at the order of the order. < li > Reliable stores offer post -payment on mail or payment through official services.

< p >If you are not dealing with stores, but in cases where you are written by allegedly familiar people, asking you to replenish your account or borrow money, the most reliable way to check is to communicate with a person in another messenger or a phone call. & Amp; nbsp; < strong >. Copy . If it was copied, then you will not be signed on each other & ndash; Check this if the situation is risky.

< P > You should also view the list of subscribers. Is there a lot of empty profiles without photos and with strange names ? if so, then this is a reason to doubt.

< p >Finally, use the image test. Make a screenshot of one or more pictures in the page profile and use the image in Google or with artificial intelligence & ndash; You can now find a lot of such SI services that are looking for matches or exact copies. Photos on the page could be stolen, and can “walk” in tweet, on tumblr, on Pinterest or somewhere.

You go, but you see that he has only 500 subscribers, reviews only in Stories (created with Photoshop or by photographing dialogues with his or her farther accounts), there is no comment, and the only way to pay & ndash; on the card. & nbsp; < strong > it is fraud .

< P > Imagine what a familiar person is writing and says you have found your photo & ndash; Terrible, obscene, shameful, funny or any other.

The link may either be automatic loading of malicious files or phishing site that will simulate, such as Google Drive, which will ask you to enter your login and password from Google Services.
