The police received a report yesterday (5th) from a man named Zheng (63 years old) who was in charge of a seafood shop. He said he had received a call earlier, claiming to order a large amount of seafood and asking him to order canned abalone from a designated supplier.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Nan called and remitted about 85,000 yuan to the bank account provided by the relevant supplier to order the order, and then lost contact with him.
The police classified the case as "obtaining property by deception" and handed it over to the Criminal Investigation Team of the Kowloon City Police District for follow-up.
The police urge that when stores accept large orders, they should not easily advance payment; when collecting deposits from calling customers, they should pay attention to whether the "available balance" has increased, and do not rely solely on "deposit slips" and "account balances", etc. Considered as a successful transfer.
In addition, if you receive a telephone order from a group or private organization, you can search for the contact information of the group or private organization and contact the relevant organization directly.
If you have any doubts, you can call the police's "Anti-Scam Easy" 24-hour hotline 18222.
