Therefore if you have received such calls or messages, please ignore them directly or contact teachers or police for help. Please be very careful when shopping online and make sure you pay on official websites. Always remember: No quick response and Double Check! Think about your recent behaviors and call your family member to confirm they are all right. If you got any troubles or problems, no hesitate to CALL “110” and ask police for help.
