International students: beware of telephone scams
Police are warning international students, particularly those from China, about phone calls from scammers posing as employees of banks or governement agencies.
The scammer will claim you need to move your money to another bank account, or that you are being criminally investigated and must break all contact with others by e.g. switching off your phone and not going home or to class. They will then tell your parents or family members that you have disappeared and demand a ransom. As your family are unable to reach you, they might believe the scammer.
Hang up and call 112
- If this happens to you, hang up immediately and call the police via 112.
