The Consulate General in Los Angeles reminds Chinese citizens to tighten the defense of scams

01

Typical Case

Recently, many Chinese citizens in the Los Angeles Consulate General have suffered telecommunications fraud and suffered major economic losses. The basic situation is as follows:

01

Several Chinese citizens asked the Consulate General for help, saying that they received a call from the Embassy in the United States and informed that their fake passports were seized in China, and the phone was then transferred to the "Public Security Bureau". The other party said that he would be arrested and returned to China for suspected crime. If he paid the guarantee for the guarantee of the procuratorate, he could apply for a guarantee certificate and cancel the arrest. Under the intimidation of scammers, a number of Chinese citizens transferred to the bank account provided by the other party and suffered major economic losses.

02

A Los Angeles overseas Chinese asked for help, saying that he knew a "friend" through social platforms. There were many common topics, and the other party was good at analyzing the investment market trend. After that, under the guidance of the "friend", he began to invest in virtual currencies, with a amount from small to large, and transferred the money to the "fake platform" set by the other party, and eventually lost 1.1 million US dollars.

Raise alert to strengthen response

Prevent fraud, prevention first. The Consulate General may call and email relevant personnel due to providing consular protection and assistance, requiring supplementary consular documents, and other reasons, but will not ask for information such as personal identity, bank account, or request transfer remittance. The Consulate General reminds that Chinese citizens of the consumer area attach importance to their own property safety, and do not disclose personal information such as their ID cards, passports, mobile phone numbers, bank cards, and online social platform accounts to unrelated personnel to avoid being used for fraud by fraud. If you encounter a suspected fraud phone call, please consult your family, police or consulate for help in time, please keep in mind: as long as strangers make money, you must tighten the scams!
