A case of another scam has been reported to Hong Kong police on the 4th of June that involved a 33-year-old Indian. The woman was lured by a stranger who sent a message to her as a recruiting agent working with a company specialising in online transactions.


"In the message, it was explained that the company was looking for people to help them complete online transactions, and she could earn a commission for each transaction completed successfully", police said.


The woman was sent a link that directed her to a bogus website where she eventually followed the directives by submitting all her personal information and transferred Hk$700,000 into a local bank account opened purposely to scam any victim.


However, when all her efforts to retrieve the fund became abortive, she concluded that she had been scammed and reported her ordeal to the police.


The case has been classified as “obtaining property by deception” and handled to the Western District Investigation Division for further investigation. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.




33歲印度女子被假網上交易騙走70萬港元


6 月 4 日,香港警方接獲另一宗詐騙案,涉及一名 33 歲的印度人。 這名女子被一個陌生人引誘,陌生人給她發了一條信息,稱她是一家專門從事在線交易的公司的招聘代理。

警方稱:“信息中解釋說,該公司正在尋找人員幫助他們完成網上交易,她可以為每筆成功完成的交易賺取佣金。”

該女子收到了一個鏈接,該鏈接將她引導至一個虛假網站,最終她按照指示提交了所有個人信息,並將 700,000 港元轉入一個專門開設的當地銀行賬戶,以詐騙任何受害人。

然而,當她為取回這筆資金所做的所有努力都以失敗告終時,她斷定自己被騙了,並向警方報了案。

案件已列為“騙取財物”處理,交由西區偵查科作進一步調查。 沒有人因這起事件被捕。
