偵破兌換貨幣詐騙案 拘一內地男子
2023年10月27日晚上,司警局接獲治安警察局通知,在路氹城區一酒店發生懷疑兌換貨幣詐騙案,經濟罪案調查處人員立即到場調查。
案情顯示,一名內地男事主於案發當日透過他人協助欲通過涉案內地男子將50萬港元兌換成人民幣匯往內地,並相約到上述酒店房間內交易。
交易期間,事主在其內地銀行帳戶收到多筆合共29萬元人民幣的款項後,隨即接獲自稱內地反詐中心人員來電,指事主上述銀行帳戶收取詐騙贓款,事主立即中止交易並要求取回已交付的全部款項,雙方爭持期間涉案男子致電報警求助。
經司警局人員調查後確認事主上述帳戶因收取贓款而被內地警方凍結,涉案男子聲稱來澳從事兌換貨幣活動,在案發當日受他人指使前來與事主進行交易,事成後可獲一千元人民幣報酬,但不知道存入事主銀行帳戶的款項為詐騙贓款。
司警局根據調查所得,以詐騙(相當巨額)罪及清洗黑錢罪將涉案男子移送檢察院偵辦。
Mainland Chinese man arrested in the crackdown of a case of currency exchange fraud
The Judiciary Police was notified by the Public Security Police Force, on the night of 27th October 2023, that a case of suspected currency exchange fraud had taken place in a hotel in Cotai. The Economic Crimes Division officers promptly arrived at the scene for investigation.
It was shown that on the day of the incident, the victim from mainland China, aided by another person and intending to exchange HKD 500,000 into Reminbi and remit the amount to mainland China through the involved mainland Chinese man, had arranged to meet with the latter to settle the transaction in the said hotel room.
Upon receiving multiple remittances, totaling RMB 290,000, in his mainland Chinese bank account during the transaction, the victim shortly received a phone call from a self-proclaimed staff of the Anti-fraud Centre of mainland China, stating that the said bank account of the victim had been used for collecting fraud proceeds. The victim terminated the transaction at once, demanding to retrieve the entire paid amount. The involved man called the police for assistance during their quarrel.
Upon investigation, the Judiciary Police confirmed that the victim’s said account had been frozen by mainland Chinese police for receiving criminal proceeds. The involved man had allegedly come to Macao to engage in currency exchange activities. He had been instructed to settle a transaction with the victim on the day of the incident for a reward of RMB 1,000. He was unaware of the fact that the money deposited into the victim’s bank account was fraud proceeds.
Based on investigative results, the Judiciary Police transferred the involved man to the Public Prosecutions Office for the charges of fraud (considerably huge amount) and money laundering.
