內地男子涉巨額詐騙被拘
2026年4月27日凌晨，本局接獲路氹城區娛樂場保安部通知，指一名非本澳男子報稱在兌換貨幣期間懷疑受騙。
經調查，4月26日晚，涉案內地男子於娛樂場主動向事主搭訕，聲稱欲將12萬港元籌碼以優惠匯率兌換成人民幣。約一小時後，兩人在吸煙室再次洽談兌換10萬港元事宜。當事主提出共同前往賬房檢驗籌碼真偽時，涉案內地男子隨即拒絕並匆忙離開。事主心生懷疑遂尾隨，並聯同保安員將其截停。本局人員到場調查，在涉案內地男子身上搜獲12個面值1萬港元的籌碼及86張面值1千港元的鈔票。
經鑑定，證實上述籌碼及鈔票均為偽造，假籌碼表面缺乏紫外光標籤及芯片，而偽鈔則紙質粗糙且印有道具鈔字樣。調查顯示，涉案內地男子從內地攜帶該批偽造品入境，意圖尋找不法匯兌人士實施詐騙。本局當場扣押相關偽造品及兩部涉案手提電話，事件中事主未有金錢損失。
本局根據調查所得，以詐騙（巨額）罪將涉案內地男子移送檢察院偵辦。此外，就本案事主涉嫌在本澳從事不法匯兌，本局已另立經營為賭博的不法匯兌案件作出跟進調查。
Mainland man arrested for fraud of huge amount
In the wee hours of 27th April 2026, the Judiciary Police was notified by the Security Department of a casino in the Cotai district that a non-local man reported being scammed during a currency exchange.
Investigation revealed that on the night of April 26th, the involved Mainland man approached the victim in the casino and claimed that he attempted to exchange HKD120,000 in chips for RMB at a favourable exchange rate. About an hour later, the duo met again in the smoking room to discuss exchanging HKD100,000. When the victim suggested that they proceeded to the cage together to verify the authenticity of the chips, the involved Mainland man immediately refused and hurriedly left. The victim became suspicious and followed him, subsequently intercepted him together with the security personnel. The Judiciary Police personnel arrived at the scene for investigation, and found the involved Mainland man in possession of 12 chips with a face value of HKD10,000 each and 86 banknotes with a face value of HKD1,000 each.
Subsequent examination confirmed that the aforementioned chips and banknotes were counterfeit. The counterfeit chips lacked ultraviolet labels and embedded microchips, while the forged banknotes were of coarse paper and bore the words “prop banknotes”. Investigation revealed that the involved Mainland man had brought the batch of counterfeits into Macao from the Mainland with the intention of targeting illegal currency exchangers to commit fraud. The Judiciary Police seized the related counterfeits and two involved mobile phones on the spot. The victim in this case did not suffer any monetary loss.
Based on the investigative findings, the Judiciary Police transferred the involved Mainland man to the Public Prosecutions Office for investigation on the charge of fraud (huge amount). In addition, the Judiciary Police has established a separate case of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling for follow-up investigation regarding the victim’s suspected involvement in illegal currency exchange activities in Macao.
