These scams target at Chinese students so I have the info translated into Chinese to better capture their attention. Please share with your students. Recently, there have been frequent calls to Chinese students? mobile phones with the caller number showing as +86-96110, pretending to be China?s National Anti-Scam Center. The caller informs the student that they have been involved in major criminal cases such as money laundering due to theft of identity information and using forged official documents, seals, etc. They have a lot of student?s information such as their school history, their bank transaction history and their address.. They connect students with fake Chinese police officers via Skype and they educate students how to protect their personal information. Once gained victim?s trust, the scammer then tricks the victim into transferring money in the name of ensuring the safety of funds. Scammers threaten students that if they don?t transfer money soon they will be arrested and threaten them not to talk to anyone. Please be vigilant. Such calls should not be answered and you should block the sender right away. A helpful tip: All hotline numbers are for the public to call in. Officials will never use the hotline number to make calls. Never transfer large amount to people you don?t know. ???????????????????+86-96110??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Skype????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
