大侠行天下日记 我见我闻我思 10/01

网路诈骗猖獗


包括五名休斯敦居民在内的二十多名人士 週四被联邦检察官起诉 指控他们诈骗了一千七百多万美元 罪名还包括洗钱和蓄意欺诈


根据联邦起诉书中指出 这批人多半是透过交友社群网站对那些年长者下手 得逞后就把钱匯往国外


大约有一百人上当骗走了一千七百万元 其中也包括许多公司行号及政府单位之支票


这批骗徒通常是在社交交友网站偽装是交友来骗取受害人之信任后 开始对他们下手 当他们骗到钱后立即转至国外户头


我们要呼吁大家特别注意类似骗局不断上演 尤其是在社群网站上 无数交友网站更是无法无天 以假照片假资讯来行骗


我们更要奉劝大家决不要轻信那些假消息 在社交网站上必须察明讯息来源 如果有金钱上的问题 一定更要小心


这是一个资讯爆炸的时代 世界已经成為了地球村 那些骗徒藏在世界各地之黑暗角落 他们用许多方式突破人们的防范, 来对那些无辜者下手






Twenty-Three Charged In Scheme                                             To Steal $17 Million Dollars


Twenty-three suspects, including five Houston residents, were charged in an international fraud scheme and conspiracy to steal at least 17 million dollars.


According to the U.S. Attorney’s office they are also being charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. At the beginning of January 2017, the suspects used a multitude of fraudulent schemes to obtain money from their victims including online romance scams and emails including investor fraud and unemployment insurance fraud.


The suspects are accused of targeting older people and used various schemes such as a dating service website. Once they obtained money from their victims, it was then wired overseas.


If these people are convicted, they could face up to 20 years in federal prison.


We urge all people to pay close attention on the various social media websites. Many of them are misleading and are only trying to cheat their victims.


Today we are living in a global village. Now the internet age has brought us together, but also has created a lot of problems. We want to urge people to watch and be careful on what is being shown on the internet. A lot of the offers are too good to be true.
