Know more: Men are more likely to be infected than women

The data shows that among the victims, 63% are male and 37% are female. Among them, the average loss for males is 10,000 yuan, and the average loss for females is 7,252.7 yuan. Whether in terms of quantity or loss, males have become the "susceptible group" in these two types of fraud.

In terms of the age of the victims, those born in the 1990s are the largest group of victims, accounting for 37.8%, followed by those born in the 2000s, accounting for 26.0%. The victims are getting younger, which shows that the age of the people affected by online fraud is getting younger. The immaturity of the supervision of various game platforms and virtual goods trading platforms has also caused more and more people born in the 2000s, who have a low awareness of prevention, to fall into the quagmire of online fraud.

According to data from the Liewang platform in the first half of 2018, among all types of online fraud reports, those born in the 2000s have surpassed those born in the 1990s to become the largest group of victims of online fraud. As the first batch of those born in the 2000s, who are over 18 years old, join the online shopping army during the Double Eleven shopping festival, the prevention of online fraud will become more challenging.

In fake shopping scams, the most common products are mobile phones and digital products, accounting for as high as 65.8%. In refund scams, similar characteristics are also shown as in fake shopping, with mobile phones and digital products being the most common, accounting for 25%. This has a lot to do with our habit of purchasing mobile phones and digital products through online shopping, especially the rise of overseas shopping and purchasing agents, which also give scammers opportunities to a certain extent.
