Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reminds: Be wary of new “digital RMB” scams

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently revealed a new trick for scamming people with fake "digital RMB" apps: these fake apps will steal the icon, background image, and promotional language of legitimate apps to create a sense of being an "official app". They usually have the following characteristics: first, they use the name of "government benefits" to induce victims to spread the fake app by promising "bonuses for inviting others"; second, they induce the public to register with their real name by offering so-called "welfare funds" and obtain sensitive personal information; third, they set up special customer service group pages to lead victims to some uncommon social tools and then defraud them of their money.
