Chinanews.com, September 26. According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in Austria, the Chinese Embassy in Austria has recently received reports from overseas Chinese and students in Austria that some criminals impersonated the staff of the Embassy in Austria or the Austrian post and lied about the parties. There are problems with visas and residence, or there are important letters or parcels that need to be picked up, so as to conduct telecom fraud.
In response to the above situation, the Chinese Embassy in Austria reminds Chinese compatriots in Austria to pay attention to the following:
First, the embassy in Austria will not notify the parties by telephone to receive letters and documents, nor will they ask for personal information such as their names, passport numbers, and bank account numbers, nor will they request transfers and remittances.
In addition, visas and residence are matters under the jurisdiction of the country in which they reside, and the embassy neither has the right to nor contact the parties concerned.
If you receive a similar call that can be judged as a fraudulent call, you should hang up immediately.
Second, Austrian Post currently does not provide Chinese voice or manual services.
If you receive a similar call that can be judged as a fraudulent call, you should hang up immediately.
Third, the embassy in Austria reminds Chinese compatriots in Austria to receive unfamiliar calls, to be vigilant, to screen them carefully, and not to be credulous in requesting personal information such as names, family conditions, bank cards, and transfers and remittances in any name.
If the other party uses the party's information to obtain phone confirmation, do not confirm it, let alone add it.
Fourth, if it is not possible to distinguish whether it is a fraudulent call, it is recommended to call the Consular Protection and Assistance Number of the Chinese Embassy in Austria after hanging up the call, or call the 12308 hotline of the Global Consular Protection and Service Emergency Call Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to request that the relevant information be transferred to the embassy for further verification.
If you are unfortunately deceived, you should report to the Austrian police and domestic public security organs as soon as possible, and contact your account opening bank as soon as possible to request corresponding measures such as payment stop and freeze.
If the victim is unable to directly report the case to the domestic public security, he can report the case in time through domestic relatives and request help from the anti-telecom network fraud center where the case was reported, or dial 110 and ask them to assist in transferring to the anti-fraud center.
Chinese compatriots in Austria, please tell each other and remind each other, so that more people will not be deceived.
