駐美國代表處提醒台灣留學生、旅美國人及僑胞提高警覺，慎防詐騙犯罪

駐美國代表處近期接獲數起我留學生遭假冒快遞公司或檢警單位等詐騙之案例，其犯罪手法如下：

簡訊或隨機電話釣魚：由詐騙集團成員假冒快遞公司人員隨機致電受害者，或傳送簡訊要求回撥緊急專線；
假冒快遞公司：倘聯繫上，詐騙集團人員常誆稱受害者寄送之包裹內遭海關查獲偽造銀行卡，當受害人回覆並無此事後，則假快遞公司人員將續告知受害人身分恐遭冒用，將協助受害人報案云云，續由假公安檢警接手行騙；
假公安檢警接手詐騙：假檢警佯稱受害人涉嫌國際洗錢案，要求提供詳細個資及繳交高額保證金換取「候審」待遇，否則將啟動相關機制逮捕受害人並送往他國接受調查，倘告知親友，則將以共犯視之云云。假檢警並要求受害者日後以「通訊軟體」聯繫等；
接收匯款後消失不見：受害人多於匯款後突然無法聯繫自稱檢警或公安人員後，始驚覺受騙。

此類電話詐騙也有誆稱是銀行、領事館及政府單位等類似態樣，指控受話人涉嫌洗錢、簽證問題或其他嚴重危害情況等，將遭刑事調查，進而要求提供個資或金錢供其暫管等，駐美代表處在此提醒旅美國人提高警覺，倘接到類似詐騙電話，千萬不要聽信對方指示提供個資或匯款，並請紀錄電話細節，藉由相關單位官方網站或聯絡方式查證。此外，民眾亦可查詢FBI（https://www.fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/common-scams-and-crimes）及Federal Trade Commission（https://consumer.ftc.gov/features/scam-alerts）網站瞭解最新詐騙手法及應對方式。

若已遭詐騙，例如已提供護照資訊，請向駐美代表處及各辦事處重新申辦護照；若是個資已洩漏或已遭詐騙金錢，除立即報警並申請止付，同時可向FBI（https://www.ic3.gov/）備案，並於Federal Trade Commission（http://reportfraud.ftc.gov/）備案，以防範個資遭盜用衍生之法律責任。切莫懊悔自責，若心理上難以調適，請向心理健康單位或親友尋求協助及開導。
