In a recent incident, a resident of Macau has become the victim of a sophisticated scam, resulting in a loss of over HK$6.85 million. Authorities in Macau have taken action and apprehended a mainland Chinese woman believed to be connected to the fraudulent scheme.
The investigation revealed that HK$1.65 million was deposited into a bank account linked to the scam. Upon the woman's arrival in Macau on April 16th, she was arrested. During questioning, she confessed to opening multiple bank accounts in Hong Kong on behalf of someone else. The accounts were established under the pretense of assisting with illegal gambling activities, with the promise of receiving a 20% share of the proceeds. However, no further communication or compensation was received.
The case involves serious allegations of fraud, money laundering, and potential ties to criminal organizations. It has been referred to the prosecution for further action.
The victim received a phone call on August 24th of the previous year, purportedly from the "Shanghai Public Security Bureau." The caller alleged the victim's involvement in illegal gambling activities in mainland China and claimed that an arrest warrant had been issued. Believing the call to be genuine, the victim cooperated with the fraudsters' investigation. During the course of their interaction, which included video calls and screen sharing, the victim unintentionally provided his online banking information and transaction passwords for supposed fund verification.
As suspicions arose while awaiting the investigation's outcome, the victim contacted his bank and discovered that HK$6.85 million had been transferred from his account to three separate accounts in Hong Kong. Disturbed by this revelation, the victim reported the incident to the police on September 5th of the previous year.
The authorities are taking this case seriously, as it highlights the dangers of sophisticated scams and the need for heightened vigilance when dealing with unknown callers or suspicious requests for personal information.
澳門男子遭遇精心策劃的詐騙，內地中國女子被捕
最近發生了一起事件，一名澳門居民成為了一宗精心策劃的詐騙案的受害者，損失超過685萬港元。澳門當局已經采取行動，逮捕了一名涉嫌與詐騙計劃有關的內地中國女子。
調查顯示，165萬港元被匯入與詐騙有關的銀行賬戶。該女子於4月16日抵達澳門時被逮捕。在問詢中，她坦承代表他人在香港開設了多個銀行賬戶，以協助非法賭博活動，承諾獲得收益的20％。然而，她並未收到進一步的聯繫或報酬。
該案涉及詐騙、洗錢以及可能與犯罪組織有關的嚴重指控。案件已轉交檢察機關進一步處理。
該受害者在去年8月24日接到一個電話，聲稱來自「上海公安局」，指控他涉嫌參與內地的非法賭博活動，並聲稱已經發出了逮捕令。受害者相信該電話是真實的，配合詐騙分子的「調查」。在互動過程中，包括視頻通話和屏幕共享，受害者無意中提供了他的網上銀行信息和交易密碼，用於所謂的資金核實。
隨著懷疑的加劇，受害者在等待調查結果期間聯繫了他的銀行，發現685萬港元被轉移到香港的三個不同賬戶。受到這一揭示的困擾，他在去年9月5日向警方報案。
當局對此案非常重視，因為它凸顯了精心策劃的詐騙的危險性，以及在與陌生來電者或可疑的個人信息要求打交道時，需要提高警惕。
