A 19-year-old female university freshman in Macau has been scammed RMB1.2 million, according to the Judiciary Police (PJ). She received a call from an “express company” saying her parcel sent to the mainland contained banned items. The call was then transferred to someone identifying as from the mainland police, who accused her of engaging in illegal activities and demanded a security deposit. The victim deposited RMB1.2 million into nine mainland bank accounts provided by the scammers. She later became suspicious and reported the case to the police.
