兩名內地男子涉巨額詐騙法辦
2026年8月17日，本局博彩罪案調查處接獲路氹城區一娛樂場保安部通報，指一名內地女子在場內與兩名內地男子進行不法匯兌期間遭騙取金錢。本局隨即派員到場，接觸事主及兩名涉案男子，並將三人帶返本局調查。
調查顯示，事主當日在該娛樂場內主動搭訕首名涉案男子，雙方協議以4.4萬元人民幣兌換5萬港元籌碼。事主提供內地手機號碼供對方轉帳，該男子則出示一張偽造的成功轉帳截圖。事主未及確認款項到帳，便將籌碼交予對方，該男子隨即迅速離場。此時，次名涉案男子立即上前假裝要求兌換，事主起疑即時查閱帳戶，始發現未收到款項，欲追截首名涉案男子時遭次名涉案男子阻撓，雙方發生爭執，驚動保安員揭發事件。
經查，首名涉案男子透過手機應用程式偽造轉帳截圖，令事主誤信收款成功，再由次名涉案男子假意兌換以拖延時間，合謀詐騙事主金錢。
本局人員在首名涉案男子身上檢獲1部手機、4萬港元籌碼及1萬港元現金；在次名涉案男子身上檢獲2部手機，上述物品相信為作案工具及犯罪所得。
本局根據調查所得，以詐騙（巨額）罪將兩名涉案男子移送檢察院偵辦。另就事主涉及經營為賭博之不法匯兌行為，本局已另立案卷調查；同時，因次名涉案男子未滿21歲進入娛樂場，已通報博彩監察協調局跟進。
Two mainland men arrested for fraud of huge amount
On 17th August 2026, the Gaming-related Crimes Division of the Judiciary Police received a report from the security department of a casino in the Cotai district, stating that a mainland woman had been defrauded of money in the course of illegal currency exchange with two mainland men in the casino. The Judiciary Police immediately dispatched personnel to the scene to contact the victim and the two involved men, then brought the three persons to the Judiciary Police for investigation.
Investigation revealed that the victim proactively got in touch with the first involved man in the said casino. Both parties agreed to exchange HKD 50,000 of casino chips for RMB 44,000. The victim provided her mainland mobile phone number for transfer, then the man produced a fake screenshot of successful transfer. The victim handed the casino chips to the man before confirming receipt of the amount, and the man promptly left the scene. At the same time, the second involved man immediately stepped up and pretended to request a currency exchange. Feeling suspicious, the victim checked the account immediately, only to find that the amount was not received. The victim tried to pursue the first involved man but was thwarted by the second involved man. The quarrel aroused between the two alerted the security guard and exposed the incident.
Investigation revealed that the first involved man forged a screenshot of transfer with mobile phone app to mislead the victim into believing that the transfer was successful, then the second involved man stalled the victim by faking a currency exchange request. The duo conspired to defraud the victim of money.
Personnel of the Judiciary Police found a mobile phone, HKD 40,000 of casino chips and HKD 10,000 in cash on the first involved man; 2 mobile phones were found on the second involved man. The aforesaid items were believed to be perpetrating tools and criminal proceeds.
Based on investigative findings, the Judiciary Police transferred the two involved mainland men to the Public Prosecutions Office for the offence of fraud of huge amount. As for the victim’s act of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling, the Judiciary Police had opened another case file for investigation. Meanwhile, as the second involved man entered a casino before reaching the age of 21 years old, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau had been notified for follow-up.
