The fifth wave of the new crown epidemic in Hong Kong continues, and the number of confirmed cases has soared. When the whole city panicked, criminals took advantage of the epidemic to get quick money.
The police recently discovered that a fraudster used a phone number beginning with "+852" to call citizens falsely claiming that their new crown test results were positive, and asked citizens to contact the so-called "commissioner". Account information, online banking account and password, etc.
When the fraudster obtains the information, he can log into the account with another device and withdraw the money.
The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" recently also received a suspected fraudulent call starting with "+852". The other party first played a Cantonese recording, claiming to be from the "Protection Center", and pointed out that the reporter had an official document that he did not take, and needed to transfer the contact. As usual, there is no doubt about cheating.
Our reporter also recently received a suspected fraudulent call starting with "+852".
Police remind:
1. If you receive a call from a self-proclaimed "commissioner" who instructs citizens to hand over their personal information and bank account information for different reasons, they should take the initiative to check with the relevant departments to confirm the identity of the person concerned;
2. Do not disclose personal information to strangers information, bank account information, online banking account and password, etc
