Teacher Liu, I got a livestream link in a WeChat group yesterday saying there were special-price medicines. Is it real?

Yuko, you must be very careful with such links! Recently, WeChat released an announcement saying it would strictly crack down on these illegal livestreams and external links.

I see. A classmate told me that someone clicked such a link and got scammed, buying fake products.

Yes, these criminals often use false advertising and exaggerate the effects. There is an old Chinese saying: ‘天上不会掉馅饼’—nothing falls from the sky for free. We must stay alert.

Then what should I do when I see such suspicious links in the future?

The best way is: don’t click and don’t trust them easily. If you notice a problem, you can report it directly in WeChat.

I understand! From now on, when I shop online, I’ll choose official platforms and never be greedy for small bargains.

Exactly. We must protect ourselves and also remind our friends and family, so everyone can help maintain a safe online environment.
