<p><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">This
scenario is valid for banks who send emails to customers, and
customers who log into bank websites. </font>But the point of
the BBC article is that, for many in China, all the
communication occurs within the WeChat app. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">1) The bank presumably sends a
WeChat message from their WeChat presence to the customer's
WeChat account, not an email. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">2) The customer is presumably
given a link to the bank's WeChat or web site presence. The
customer clicks the link, and doesn't attempt to enter in a web
address.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">The BBC article didn't talk about
fraud within WeChat or similar systems. There is probably a
fraud risk. I don't know what either the WeChat system or users
within WeChat do about the fraud risk. But the article makes it
seem unlikely that the routine response is to drop out of the
"walled garden" and start using outside URLs and email
addresses.<br>

<p><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Yes, we can agree on this. My
point is that UASG's efforts have nothing to say about these
