Victoria Police Warns Against Scams Targeting the Chinese-speaking Community (维州警方就针对华人群体的诈骗行为发出新的警告)
Victoria Police has just issued warnings against scams targeting the Chinese-speaking community. 维州警方提醒民众警惕针对华人群体的诈骗，详见如下中英文信息。 维州警方就针对华人群体的诈骗行为发出新的警告 诈骗犯在全球范围运作，其中也包括维州。这些诈骗行为包括：• 通过电话留言或社交网络(比如微信，WhatsApp )留下事先录好中文录音• 录音中告诉受害者他们扣押了受害者的包裹• 威胁要求转账大笔资金• 通过虚构绑架来敲诈勒索• 威胁将受害者遣送或者拘捕 维州警方最早于2017年7月收到此类报案。但是发现诈骗犯现在有用一些令人不安的新手段。其中包括指使受害人录下自己的性录像以用来进一步的敲诈勒索受害人。 诈骗犯是如何行骗的？ 尽管此类诈骗细节有所不同但是有一个共同点就是通过事先录好的电话信息告诉受害者他们扣押了受害者的包裹。 当受害者接了这个电话后就会被转到一个所谓的快递公司告诉他们这个包裹上有受害者的名字，被扣押了可能因为是有牵涉违法物件。 受害者然后会受到号称是中国官方机构人员的威胁，并要求他们转帐大量资金以用来防止受害人或者他们的家属被遣返或者起诉。 诈骗犯然后会要求受害者把钱转到指定银行。大多数这些银行都是海外银行。 在2018年，警方发现诈骗犯指示受害者制造虚构绑架以用来敲诈受害者家属钱财。 然而在最近警方发现诈骗犯要求受害者：•录下性视频•去贷款，使用个人存款，或者购买比特币转到海外银行账户 另一些危险信号包括诈骗犯要求受害者开启视频聊天功能或者去当地警局以博取信任。然而诈骗犯随后会以种种借口不与受害者见面。…
