警拘8人涉大規模釣魚詐騙 受害人遭騎劫證券戶口 涉額逾4,600萬港元
警方偵破一宗涉及本地及國際的大規模釣魚詐騙案件,以「串謀詐騙」及「串謀洗黑錢」罪拘捕7男1女,年齡介乎26至41歲,涉款超過4,600萬港元,並正通緝多名在逃人士。
騙徒假冒證券行發放釣魚短訊,聲稱帳戶即將被凍結,誘使受害人進入偽裝成本地或者海外證券行的網站,要求受害人輸入證券戶口號碼、密碼及驗證碼。騙徒騎劫了受害者的帳戶後,迅速放售受害人的投資組合,再將資金購入市值及成交量低的股票,短時間內多次「高買低賣」,將詐騙所得資金轉走。
直至昨日(25日),警方共接獲137宗本地案件,損失超過4,000萬元。而在較早前,警方接獲一宗由證監會轉介的海外釣魚騙案,騙徒犯罪手法和本地騙案類似,該宗案件涉款超過600萬元。
證監會表示,已要求證券商提高客戶在防騙方面的認知,例如提醒投資者不要點擊一些可疑短訊中的超連結,亦不應輸入任何機密資料;投資者亦要定期檢查帳戶,留意有無異常。
