Domain name fraud is frequent? A must-read anti-fraud guide for beginners

Recently, a domain name account fraud incident occurred. Here's what happened: A registrar received a copy of his ID card and the domain's ID card number, and then faxed a password change request to an email address (xx). Thanks to the registrar's contact and understanding, the scam didn't result in significant losses. But what if the scam had succeeded? It would have been a huge loss for both parties.

Although this is a very low-level fraud, it serves as a warning to most webmasters and IDC agents:

1. ID card copies can be easily obtained, even through photoshops or other links. ID card copies alone are unreliable; additional verification steps are required. Don't be careless.

2. When changing passwords, transferring domains, etc., always be aware of scammers and check phone and email addresses at every level.

3. As a domain name owner, always check your phone and email addresses. Some people haven't changed their phone numbers in years. After reading this article, you'll spend 10 minutes checking your email address, domain account, and the phone and email addresses under your agent account to ensure they are up to date and working properly! It's very dangerous if something happens and you can't find anyone.

4. IDC merchants should remember to protect the domain name assets of everyone they represent. During transfers and other operations, emails, phone numbers, and ID cards must not be lost. Anyone reading this article must be cautious and keep this in mind. Please share this with your friends and remind them to update their contact information promptly. If you are an IDC customer, please also take responsibility for your transfers, change your passwords, and check for scams.
