《English Translation》

小宝: Brother, what is the 'fingertip trap'? It sounds scary.
小刚: It’s a new trick by scammers. They ask people to share their screen, pretending to help, but actually stealing money.
小宝: Huh? Is screen sharing like giving your bank card to someone?
小刚: Exactly, it’s that dangerous. Others can see verification codes and even transfer money secretly.
小宝: Then what should we do? I’m afraid Grandma might fall for it.
小刚: It’s simple. Remember ‘Two Questions and One Check’: first ask why the operation is needed, then ask if it can be confirmed with the official app, and finally check your phone permissions yourself.
小宝: Yes, I’ll tell Grandma not to click ‘Process Immediately’ casually and to be careful!
小刚: Well said. As long as we stay alert, scammers won’t have a chance.
