Beware of telephone scam in Mandarin

Authorities are warning of a new telephone scam that targets people from China. Police say that callers are pretending to be from the Chinese embassy and are demanding large sums of money.

Callers claim that the victim has either committed a crime or had their identity stolen, and must therefore pay a large fine or debt. In some cases, victims or their families in China have been threatened.

In other cases, the caller demands money to have a criminal investigation stopped, or tells them there is an important parcel for the victim to collect, and then tries to get personal details or money from them.

Don’t be deceived if you receive one of these phone calls. They are fraudulent and should be reported to the police or other authorities.
