Seems this is my second time to write similar articles related to widely-spreaded internet cheating. Last time, the ultimate spearhead was towards me constantly persuading me to transfer the money. But this time, the fraude just used my information to cheat my friends.
I remembered sitting on the shuttle bus to hotel in HK during exhibition time, surprizingly received a call from my good friend in ChangSha, who asked me where I was and what I was doing. I replied immediately that attending HK tradeshow in HK. She contiued whether I logged in my QQ recently or not. I honestly responded nope in recent two days. Then she hurried to tell me that my QQ might be stolened by others because she got some messages from the one using my QQ to cheat money from her. The fraud made use of the advertisement of TAOBAO to ask for money. What I felt suprized that the fraud clearly knew my real name. When my friends asked the simple questions, the one could exactly answered. Accordingly, I told my friend my QQ password and asked her to help amend a new one. She told me that she could log in but failed to revise it because of logging for the first time on her computer. Then I had to ask my sister to amend my password immediately. Luckily the change was successfully made. Actually during this time, some of my friends and colleagues had received the same messages. I heard one of my colleague was almost cheated before another colleague's caution. OMG. really hurt my friends and ruin my repute.
The wave was nearly gone; however another wave was coming. Last Saturday when I was outside, I constantly received phone messages and calls from my friends asking what was wrong with me recently and whether my QQ has been stolen. I had to explain again and again for my friends'safety. This problem troubled me and my friends a lot. When I got home, my priority was to get on-line to change my QQ password. However, there was reminder message that other side was logging so I had to be foced to exit. I tried again and again, finally available to change my passord which was more complicated than before. Until now, no bad news from my friends.
Under such circumstances, what left me is just deep concerns about cuerrent networking. For my understanding, it's quite true that internet has provided so many benifits and convenience to people around the world, which becomes more smaller with people more accessiable to each other. Throught internet chatroom, we could get to know many friends far aways from us, even on the other side of the world. We communicated crossing over the cultural and lauguage barriers, eventurally all of us got improved by learning from each other and our horizons were greatly broadened. Moreover, throught internet we could timely observe what happened around the world in different aspects such as politics, history, entertainment, culture and so on. We also could go shopping on-line and transfer the money without stepping out of door. The advanteges are so obvious, and people are also enjoying the benifits from the internet. Nevertherless, negtive side is inevitable. Most internet hackers untilized their skills to cheat others througth internet. Currently such cheating ways were so diverse. So we have to make deep awareness.
Hope smart people won't be cheated by such frauds. Pray for you.
