China’s embassy in South Korea reminds China citizens to be wary of telecom fraud posing as embassies and consulates abroad.

  BEIJING, March 9 (Xinhua) According to the WeChat WeChat official account message of the China Embassy in South Korea, impersonating a foreign embassy or consulate is a typical means of telecom fraud. Diplomats of the China Embassy in South Korea have also received fraudulent calls pretending to be embassies, and the other party lied that there are important official documents to collect (voice robots).

  Hereby remind you:

  1. After this type of fraud is transferred to the manual service, it is usually transferred to the so-called "police officer and prosecutor" on the grounds that "the public security organ intercepted the money laundering gang at an airport and found your bank card" to trick the victim into paying the "bail pending trial".

  2. The embassies and consulates in Korea do not use non-Korean local international numbers.

  3. The embassy or consulate in Korea does not use telephone to inform the parties that there are documents and parcels to be collected, and does not use voice robots.

  4. Telecom fraud mostly involves transnational crimes, and it is difficult to file a case, investigate it and recover it. Please be sure to raise your awareness of prevention and earnestly safeguard your own property safety.

  If you are deceived, please call the police in time:
