China Overseas Chinese Network, March 31. According to 1688 News Australia, the unemployment insurance benefits of a Chinese construction worker in Australia were stolen recently, but the person has no knowledge and the police are currently involved in the investigation.

　　Lao Liu is a plasterer who has been in the construction industry in Melbourne for 7-8 years.

Like other construction workers, he has an Incolink (unemployment) account.

"Similar to unemployment insurance, it is part of the salary. Employers will put part of the money into this account. Once unemployed, we can withdraw this money for emergency use." He told reporters that because of the small monthly payment, He didn't particularly care, but after 7-8 years, nearly 10,000 Australian dollars have been saved in this account.

　　Since 2020, due to the epidemic and the lockdown, Lao Liu has been unemployed.

At the beginning of 2021, at the suggestion of his wife, he decided to receive the money in the unemployment compensation account.

However, several attempts to log in ended in failure.

After calling to inquire, Lao Liu learned that his password and email address had been changed.

　　With the assistance of the staff, after changing the information and successfully logging in again, Lao Liu was dumbfounded, and there was no money left in the account.

Later, I found out that the unemployment benefits were transferred in two installments.

Lao Liu told reporters that he had no knowledge of these transfer records and did not receive any reminders.

He was puzzled how to be pretended to be led by others.

　　The reporter saw that to log in to the account from the Incolink website, you must enter the "member number" or "email address" and "password".

If you want to retrieve the forgotten password, you must enter the "Member Number" and "Email Address", and then retrieve it by email.

Whether you are logging in or wanting to retrieve your password, you need to know an important piece of information-"Member Number".

But Lao Liu emphasized that this information has never been disclosed to others.

"Except for me, the company that used to work knows the membership number."

　　Lao Liu told reporters that he had notified the unemployment compensation department immediately after the incident and wanted to know why he was fraudulently claimed.

To his surprise, he learned from the staff that someone had stolen his driver's license information and applied for unemployment benefits.

　　A worker informed that after the money is successfully claimed, Incolink will mail a letter to the claimant's address.

Lao Liu told reporters that although the imposter had changed his email address and password, his phone number and residential address remained the same.

He did not receive any notice, whether it was a paper letter or a phone message.

After contacting Incolink many times without any progress, he worried that the stolen money would eventually disappear.

　　The reporter also sent emails to Incolink and the Victorian Union on this matter, and received a reply saying, “The incident is under investigation and has been reported to the police.” The email stated, “Every member has a responsibility to protect personally identifiable information documents. We encourage Members regularly check their account balances and report any suspicious signs at any time."
