To reduce the psychological defenses of victims, overseas fraudsters will use high salaries to entice domestic personnel to use GOIP and VOIP devices to build a communication bridge for them, thus successfully carrying out fraud.Please be vigilant and be cautious when looking for part-time jobs, and do not become accomplices in telecom fraud.
Understanding GOIP and VOIP
01
Differences Between GOIP and VOIP
In fact, the two are quite similar; both are based on IP voice transmission that disguises overseas calls to criminals.GOIP uses SIM cards to access the phone network, displaying the mobile number for incoming calls; VOIP uses landline connections to access the phone network, displaying the landline number for incoming calls.
What is a GOIP Device?
GOIP refers to a virtual dialing device, and one such device can operate with hundreds of mobile SIM cards simultaneously.
What is a VOIP Device?
VOIP is a type of voice communication technology that uses the internet to communicate. Fraudsters implement scams by setting up VOIP devices and remote dialing over different networks, achieving the goal of concealing their true location. By remotely controlling VOIP devices in different locations, fraudsters can use domestic landline numbers to make calls and send messages, thus achieving a separation between the human operator and the device, which has strong concealment and deception capabilities.
