近年,本澳電話騙案持續高發,不法分子假冒電訊公司、速遞公司或政府機關人員,訛稱事主涉嫌犯罪或個人資料被盜用,再將電話轉接至所謂的公安局,並由偽冒公安人員的騙徒以即時拘捕限制出入境凍結銀行帳戶等手段作威嚇,甚至能準確說出事主的姓名、證件號碼及出生日期等資訊,迫使事主配合所謂的線上辦案屏幕共享及支付保證金以取得保釋候審機會,藉此騙取事主金錢。有鑑於此,司法警察局特別提醒同學們、家長及教職人員務必提高防騙警覺性,倘若接獲自稱上述部門人員的電話,並要求提供個人詳細身份資料,切勿輕信對方的身份,更不要應對方要求登入不明連結及輸入任何銀行帳戶及密碼、甚至進行轉帳或匯款,以免招致損失。

防騙小錦囊:

  1. 騙徒可通過軟件任意設置來電號碼,不要盡信陌生來電者自稱的身份,應直接致電相關機構核實查證;
  2. 本澳政府部門或內地的公安機關、檢察院、法院均不會要求電話辦案屏幕共享、轉帳或線上繳交保證金取保候審等,如果遭遇以上情況,一定是電話詐騙;
  3. 多留意司法警察局所發放的防詐騙資訊,並分享及提醒親友保持警覺,共同防範詐騙陷阱;
  4. 如懷疑遇到電話詐騙時,應保持冷靜,盡快使用司法警察局微信官方帳號的反詐程式進行檢測,亦可即時致電司法警察局防騙熱線88007777報案熱線993報警求助。如果發現自己被騙,或有懷疑情況,請立即聯絡書院導師或學生事務部(電話:88224901 / 電郵:sao@um.edu.mo),我們會協助你查明情況,避免騙案發生。

Recently, telephone scams have continued to surge in Macao, and criminals have been impersonating telecom companies, courier services, or government officials. They would allege that victims are involved in crimes or that their personal information has been stolen and then transfer the call to the so-called “Public Security Bureau.” To defraud money, perpetrators would pose as officers and threaten the victims with “immediate arrest,” “travel restrictions,” or “freezing of bank account” and accurately recite the victim’s name, identification number, and date of birth, to pressure the victims into cooperating with “online investigation,” “screen sharing,” and paying “deposit” to secure a chance for bail pending trial.

The Judiciary Police (PJ) urges students, parents, and staff to stay vigilant against fraud. Should you receive a call claiming to be from the departments mentioned above, requesting your contact number and detailed personal information, do not readily trust their identity. Never follow their instructions to log into unknown websites, enter bank account numbers and passwords, or make transfers or remittances to avoid incurring losses.

Fraud Prevention Tips:

  1. Fraudsters can use software to set caller ID numbers, so do not blindly trust the callers’ identities over the phone. Always verify by directly calling the relevant institutions.
  2. Government departments in Macao or public security departments, prosecution offices, and courts in mainland China will never process cases over the phone, require “screen sharing,” ask for money transfers, or require online “deposit” for bail pending trial. Such requests are usually indications of phone scams.
  3. Pay attention to the fraud prevention information released by the Judiciary Police. Please share it with your friends and family and remind them to stay alert to avoid falling prey to scams.
  4. If you suspect you have encountered phone fraud, please remain calm and quickly use the anti-fraud program in PJ’s official WeChat account to examine the call’s information. You can also immediately call our Anti-fraud Enquiry Hotline at 88007777 or the Crime Report Hotline at 993 for assistance. If you find that you have been scammed, or if you suspect that you have been scammed, please contact the Resident Fellows or the Student Affairs Office (Tel: 88224901 / Email: sao@um.edu.mo) immediately, and we will help you to find out what is going on and to avoid being scammed.
