市民完美示范:如何应对诈骗电话

近日,反诈骗协调中心收到市民((Y先生))开心分享,讲述如何完美击退电话骗徒。

早前,Y先生收到陌生来电,骗徒以普通话自称香港卫生防护中心职员,讹称Y先生曾在香港某高风险地方出现,需要接受强制隔离,但Y先生不曾到访该地方。

骗徒随即表示有人使用Y先生的个人资料,在内地开立了一个电话号码,并要求Y先生向内地公安报案澄清。

随后,有另一自称内地公安的骗徒,透过WhatsApp视像通话致电Y先生,该骗徒身穿疑似公安制服。但数秒后,骗徒遮盖镜头,造成黑屏。骗徒随即透过WhatsApp向Y先生传送公安证件的相片,又实时删除该相片。

其后,骗徒透过WhatsApp向Y先生传送一份假的通缉令((上图))。虽然通缉令上印有Y先生的姓名及身份证号码,但Y先生曾在电视上看过「有我个人资料就信你?睬你都傻!有怀疑?即打18222」的防骗信息,知道骗徒犯罪手法。结果,Y先生对骗徒的完美回复((上图)),令对方知难而退。

警方呼吁

  • 即使骗徒能说出你的个人资料,甚至传送执法人员证或载有你相片的拘捕令,并不代表他们是真正的执法人员。骗徒可以透过公开途径、保安漏洞,甚至非法途径获得市民的个人资料;
  • 真正的执法人员在调查案件时,不会透过电话对话索取网上银行帐户及密码;
  • 切勿向陌生人透露个人资料,包括:身份证号码、住址、网上银行帐户及密码;
  • 切勿随意点开不明来历的超链接,或输入任何数据;
  • 提醒身边亲友提防受骗;

如有怀疑,应致电「防骗易18222」热线查询。

WARNING:  Complacency is not an option! Don’t let yourself become the next victim of phone scams.

Unfortunately, there has been a growing number of students falling prey to these scams, resulting in significant financial losses and severe mental distress. According to the Hong Kong Police, scammers are posing as staff members of official agencies, providing real phone numbers and websites, and even using accurate personal information to gain trust.

 

DON’TS & DOS: Scam attempts can take many forms, including cyber romance scams, investment fraud, religious fraud, online employment traps, online shopping scams, and more. Scammers are constantly changing their tactics, so it’s important to stay vigilant and protect yourself. Never provide personal information such as passport/ identity card numbers, passwords, or bank account numbers to strangers over email or phone.

 

If you receive a call from an unknown number claiming to be from a bureau or large institution, it’s best to ignore it. You can also use the website https://cyberdefender.hk/en-us/ to check the risk level of unknown phone numbers. If you suspect a fraudulent call, report it directly to the Police by calling the 24-hour consultation hotline at 18222.

 

For more information, please visit the official Hong Kong Police website at https://www.adcc.gov.hk/. For Mainland students, you can also follow the Xiaohongshu account “Western Police District” for useful advice.

 

We urge everyone to remain vigilant against scams, and CEDARS is always here to help all students.

 

警告:不要让自己成为电话诈骗的下一个受害者!
不幸的是,越来越多的学生成为这些骗局的牺牲品,造成了巨大的经济损失和严重的精神痛苦。香港警方表示,诈骗者冒充官方机构工作人员,提供真实电话号码和网址,甚至使用准确的个人资料获取信任。

 

DON’TS & DOS:诈骗企图可以采取多种形式,包括网络浪漫诈骗、投资诈骗、宗教诈骗、在线就业陷阱、在线购物诈骗等。诈骗者不断改变他们的策略,因此保持警惕并保护自己很重要。切勿通过电子邮件或电话向陌生人提供护照/身份证号码、密码或银行帐号等个人信息。

 

当你接到自称是某局或某大型机构的陌生人来电时,最好的做法是选择直接忽视。也可进入网站 https://cyberdefender.hk/,并输入陌生来电者的电话号码,该网站会显示该号码的风险等级。若仍无法确定是否为诈骗电话,请直接向警方报案,致电 18222 (24小时咨询热线)与警方联系。
