In addition to calling on everyone to guard against fraud, please also urge the system company to take full responsibility, and Please government to bring criminals to justice as soon as possible.
Wu Chunfu, chairman of the Credit Suisse Children’s Medical Foundation, revealed that since July, donors have received fraudulent calls one after another, and they have contacted donors under the pretext that staff members have made mistakes in charity donation operations to fraudulently collect love donations. They are mainly credit card donors, and some have been victims. The victim did not receive any calls, but because personal information and financial assets have been leaked, the criminal group directly stole credit cards online, and these foundations cannot be contacted. The situation that the victim only became aware of after the incident must be actively investigated by the government. The people and government agencies have no public power.

The Ministry of Justice will assist in the investigation and will definitely investigate this case with maximum strength and in the shortest possible time. Chief Liu Jiarong of the Information Security Division of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice called on the system company itself responsible for information management to be held responsible for this incident and not social welfare groups. System vendors will be asked to improve their information security awareness, and all parties are welcome.
