Don’t get free LINE stickers randomly! Beware of your account being stolen with just one move. Here are 3 tips you must know to protect yourself.

If you receive messages about free LINE stickers, game coins or gifts, don’t rush to click on them. Be careful that there are fraud traps hidden behind the free benefits! LINE once again reminds users that fraud groups often use free gifts to attract people to click on unknown links, and even trick people into providing LINE authentication codes, resulting in account theft.

Free LINE stickers can also be scams! Be careful of account being stolen

LINE pointed out that free stickers, game currency, gifts or promotions are common baits used by fraud groups. Especially when you receive free and good news from strangers, or activities that require you to click on links and fill in personal information, you must be more vigilant to avoid being greedy for small gains and putting your LINE account at risk.

LINE reminds you that there are three key points to protect your account security. First of all, when you see free gifts or promotional information, you should first confirm whether the source of the activity is trustworthy and do not click on unknown links at will. Secondly, never provide the LINE authentication code to others. If someone asks for your mobile phone number and authentication code, you should be alert immediately and block and report suspicious accounts.

Third, it is recommended that users bind their LINE accounts to their Apple or Google accounts. In addition to providing other account mobile verification methods, it also helps improve account security.

Among them, the LINE verification code is particularly important because it is the key information to confirm the right to use the account. Regardless of whether the other party claims to be LINE customer service, the event organizer, or even a familiar friend, as long as they ask for a verification code, they should confirm their identity first and never forward it directly to avoid giving fraud syndicates an opportunity to take advantage of it.

LINE has disposed of 150,000 fraudulent accounts, check suspicious messages first

In addition to account theft, fake news is also an online risk that LINE users often encounter. Sensational news forwarded by friends and family groups, offers from unknown sources, or online rumors that appear to be true may not necessarily be credible.

LINE reminds you that when receiving suspicious content, you may wish to first confirm the authenticity through the official "LINE Message Verification" account to avoid being deceived, and do not forward it to relatives and friends without verification.

According to data released by LINE, as of the end of March 2026, the platform has disposed of a total of 150,000 fraudulent accounts, and continues to remind the public to guard against online fraud through various publicity activities.
