大家好，

前几天警方通知协会，有两位中国籍大学生被骗了一大笔钱。

一名冒充中国大使馆官员的男子打电话给他们。电话里说 他们的中国身份证信息被盗用于开设银行账户，并涉及严重的金融犯罪，而他们是嫌疑人。然后他们被传送给一个伪装成华裔警察的人。骗子说，虽然他们还没有被定为罪犯，但他们可能被引渡回中国做进一步调查。如果引渡发生，他们就不能再在英国学习。然后他们被传递给 伪华裔警察的上司 来帮助他们。

两位学生都被吓坏了，完全相信了来电者。他们被要求在手机和笔记本电脑上安装一个名为 Telegram 的软件。罪犯使用 Telegram 监视了学生2天。另一名伪民警随后联系他们说 他们需要申请“保释候审”并需要缴纳押金。结果学生支付了6次，共计 1 595 498 人民币。他们还继续要求越来越多的钱，说有困难 必须支付更多的保证金。

警方的欺诈调查小组正在处理这两起案件。警方建议协会向所有学生和社区传播一些预防犯罪的建议。我们需要采取额外的预防措施来信任电话中的人和索要钱财的人。如果有人声称来自中国大使馆或警察，我们都需要保持警惕。如果你接到这样的电话，你应该要求对方提供身份证明号码，并告诉他们你将通过官方网站上的号码回电，而不是他们提供的号码。不要寄钱。向警方或 Action Fraud 网站报告任何犯罪行为。

大使馆不会主动联系个人，交保释应该到庭判决，中英没有引渡条约。

另外，我也从Action Fraud 网站找到以下 ‘防止欺诈的十个黄金法则’：

Dear all,

A few days ago, police contacted the Association warning us that two Chinese students had been defrauded a large sum of money.

They have been called by a man pretending to be an officer from Chinese Embassy. They were told that their Chinese ID information was stolen and used to open a bank account, and it is involved in a serious financial crime. They became the suspects.

Then they are transmitted to a man pretending to be a Chinese police. The fake police said that although they had not been defined as criminals yet, they may need to be extradited back to China for further enquiries. If the extradition happens, they can’t study in the UK anymore.  They were then passed onto the fake police’s superior to assist them.

Both students have been really terrified and totally believed the caller.  They were asked to install a software called Telegram, both on their phone and laptop. Then the criminal monitored the students using Telegram for 2 days. Another fake police officer then made contact and said they have to pay for a security deposit to apply for a “post a bail and await trial” and they ended up paying them 6 times and the total amount is 1,595,498 chinese yuan.  They continued to ask for more and more money saying there were difficulties and they must pay more security deposit.
 
Both crimes are being dealt with by the police’s Fraud Investigation team. Police advised the Association to disseminate some crime prevention advice to all students and community. We need take extra precaution in trusting the person over the phone and those that request for money. We all need to stay alert if someone claims to be from the Chinese Embassy or Police. If you receive such call, you should ask for their ID number and told them that you will call them back from a number on Official website, not a number they provided. Don’t send any money. Report any crime to either police or Action Fraud website.

The embassy would not take the initiative to contact individuals. If bail is delivered, it should be judged in court. There is no extradition treaty between China and Britain.

Furthermore, I have also found the following ‘Ten golden rules to prevent fraud’ from the Action Fraud website:

https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/fa/fraud/personal-fraud/prevent-personal-fraud/

Ten golden rules to prevent fraud
Remember these ten golden rules to help you prevent fraud and beat the scammers.
1.    Be suspicious of all ‘too good to be true’ offers and deals. There are no guaranteed get-rich-quick schemes.
2.    Don’t agree to offers or deals immediately. Insist on time to get independent or legal advice before making a decision.
3.    Don’t hand over money or sign anything until you’ve checked someone’s credentials and their company’s.
4.    Never send money to anyone you don’t know or trust, whether in the UK or abroad, or use methods of payment you’re not comfortable with.
5.    Never give banking or personal details to anyone you don’t know or trust. This information is valuable so make sure you protect it.
6.    Always log on to a website directly rather than clicking on links in an email.
7.    Don’t just rely on glowing testimonials. Find solid, independent evidence of a company’s success.
8.    Always get independent or legal advice if an offer involves money, time or commitment.
9.    If you spot a scam or have been scammed, report it and get help.
10.    Don’t be embarrassed about reporting a scam. Because the scammers are cunning and clever there’s no shame in being deceived. By reporting it, you’ll make it more difficult for them to deceive others.

Regards,
Michael Ng

The Chinese Association of Southampton successfully held the “22nd Anniversary and Mid-Autumn Festival” Gala

“The moon rises above the sea, and the whole world shares this moment”. At 5:30pm on 21st September 2021, JRC Global Buffet became crowded with festive atmosphere. About 250 people from the Chinese Association of Southampton gathered here to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and the 22nd anniversary. This is the largest gathering of the Asociation since the outbreak of the pandemic. Such large scale celebration is the best interpretation and demonstration of the beautiful life of overseas Chinese. Members bring their families, children and friends together to join the event with such a high degree of enthusiasm and participation. This shows the love and expectation to the big family of the Chinese Association. The committee members took great pains to organize and to plan a variety of activities and programmes. They began to arrange the scene and test the audio equipment from the early afternoon, for ensuring that the party can be held successfully.

This event received support and participation from people of all walks of life in Southampton. The Sheriff of Southampton, Cabinet Members for ‘Communities, Culture and Heritage’, as well as the Chief Inspector delivered speeches and sent festive greetings to all. Yau Brothers Supermarket, Szechuen Kitchen and Shanghai Bay Chinese Restaurant provided material support for this event.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the festival with the most humanistic feeling among the traditional Chinese festivals. Naturally, the celebrations include traditional Chinese cultural and artistic performances, including lion dance and bamboo flutes that drew applause and cheers. After a tumult of gongs and drums, the unique lion dance performance pushed the party to a climax. The lion dance performance of the Waterside Lion Dance Group led by Master Tang fascinated the children and added the festive and joyful atmosphere to the party. The gifted chairperson Michael Ng played a bamboo flute, with a brilliant melody, which is refreshing and also evokes homesickness. Promoting traditional Chinese culture is one of the objectives of the Chinese Association. Mr Matthew Li passionately explained the origins, customs and other knowledge of the Mid-Autumn Festival, allowing children born overseas to enter the Mid-Autumn Festival culture and feel the beauty and charm of the traditional Chinese culture and festival. The special guest “Mulan” also time-traveled to the scene, cheering up the celebration.

Respect and love for the elderly have always been the traditional virtues of the Chinese people. Committee members of the association presented the red-package and sincere care to over 70-year-old senior members. These cordial blessings put happy smiles on the faces of the senior members. There were also quiz and raffle draw sessions at the party. While tasting a variety of delicacies, members also have the opportunity to win prizes. Everyone actively participated in the sessions, and the atmosphere of the scene reached another climax. The party ended successfully with everyone singing and laughing.
