司法警察局經分析相關案件資料發現，騙徒的詐騙套路中以假冒政府機關人員最為普遍。騙徒會偽裝為內地公安或檢察官等具公權力執法人員，向市民施以威迫、恫嚇，迫使其配合進行轉帳或匯款，甚或提供自己的銀行帳號及密碼；更有騙徒以帶罪立功作幌子，誘騙市民參與作案，詐騙其他受害者。
- 任何政府部門都不會透過電話或線上方式要求市民轉帳或匯款；
- 警方不會要求“線上辦案”，也不會致電索取個人或銀行帳戶資料，更不會要求市民參與或協助執行偵查工作；
- 若遇到上述情況，很有可能是遭到詐騙，請立即拒絕對方任何要求，馬上掛線，並儘快致電本局防詐騙查詢熱線 88007777 或報案熱線 993 求助；
- 請多留意本局的防騙資訊，提高自我保護意識，並將防騙資訊轉發給身邊的親友，互相提醒注意防騙。
In recent months, telecommunication fraud has been on the rise, and the Judiciary Police (PJ) continuously receives reports of fraudulent calls or SMS from the public. While most people see through the scammers’ tricks, a small number of individuals still have incurred significant losses.
Upon analyzing these cases, PJ found that scammers often impersonate government officials when defrauding victims. They pretend to be law enforcement officers, such as public security officers or prosecutors from Mainland China, and intimidate, threaten, or coerce their targets into making transfers or remittances or providing bank account details and passwords. Furthermore, some swindlers deceive their targets by claiming that they have committed a crime and could avoid punishment by participating in their schemes to dupe other victims.
Although scammers’ ruses constantly evolve, most of them are nothing more than old tricks in new packaging. As long as we pay attention to the crime prevention information disseminated by the police, remain vigilant, and remember the following anti-fraud tips, fraudsters will not have a chance:
- No government department will ever request transfers or remittances from the public through phone calls or online methods.
- Police in Macao will not process cases or ask residents to participate in or assist in investigation work via the Internet and will not ask for personal or bank account information via phone calls.
- Should you encounter any of the above situations, it is likely that you have become the target of fraud. Please reject any request from the other party immediately, hang up, and call our Bureau’s Anti-fraud enquiry hotline at 88007777 or the crime report hotline at 993 for assistance.
- You are advised to pay attention to the Judiciary Police’s anti-scam information, raise self-protection awareness and share anti-scam information with friends and relatives, in order to remind and alert each other to prevent fraud.
