During the Double Eleven promotion period, criminals used five types of fraud tactics, including impersonating customer service couriers, ticket refunds and changes, false low-price shopping, and unfamiliar express delivery, to induce consumers to leave the platform for transactions or download screen sharing software to transfer funds. Xing Yunwei, squadron leader of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Shijingshan Branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, reminded that formal claims should be refunded through the original shopping platform. Regular customer service will not ask to download the app or enable screen sharing. Consumers should go back to the formal platform to verify by themselves, and do not transfer money privately.
