有人用電話假冒中國大使館在詐騙嗎?
.
最近頻繁接到來自不同號碼的電話或語音留言,大意是說我有重要文件在中國大使館(BTW我是台灣人跟中國大使館沒關係! I'm Taiwanese and have nothing to do with Chinese Embassy),要我按號碼轉接專人以免影響我的居留,其中一個版本的逐字稿如下(錄音請聽 https://vocaroo.com/i/s0Qw4xRnD94k ):
"
中國大使館通知你,你有一份加急公文未領取將影響到你的居留權益,請儘速與本館聯繫,了解詳情請按9,按9由人工客服為你說明。
"
其他版本的用語有一些小地方不一樣,但相同的都是要按號碼轉接專人,總之毫無懸念就是詐騙電話。
.
事實上這種詐騙型態去年就已經有新聞報導[1-3],中國大使館也發新聞稿[4]澄清這些電話並不是來自中國大使館。在地球另一端的澳洲去年也已經發生類似的詐騙情節[5]。
.
好的,講這麼多,只是要希望在海外的朋友留意詐騙電話,和在海外的生活愉快。
