Scam Calls from Impersonating Public Security Officers, Public Prosecutions Office, and the Court
- Scammers would call with a variety of false identities (e.g., public security officers from Mainland China, couriers, telecommunications companies, etc.) and would state that they have obtained the personal information of the victim. They would claim that such personal information has been stolen, or the victim is involved in a crime, and then transfer the phone call to another false police officer, in order to proceed with an alleged “video investigation”.
- The scammers would show forged documents, such as arrest warrants and confidentiality agreements, which may contain the victim’s photos and personal information.
- Afterwards, they would request the victim to transfer money to a safe account, or pay a bail, under the disguise of “Fund Review” or “Release on Bail”.
- Alternatively, the scammers may use counterfeit government websites or apps with “screen sharing” functions, attempting to obtain the victim’s bank account information, passwords, and verification codes.
- For victims without financial resources, the scammers may instruct them to deceive their parents into transferring money, or teach them to atone for their crimes by performing various “service tasks”.
