阳光海岸皇家骑警发布公开警告，一名卑诗省锡切尔特居民被一名老练的诈骗犯骗走10.8万加元。该诈骗犯冒充温哥华警察局局长史蒂夫·雷（Steve Rai）。[1 ,2 ]
这起精心策划的骗局结合了篡改来电显示、冒充警察和伪造银行代表等手段，诱骗受害者汇出大笔款项。[1 ,2 ]

这起10.8万加元的骗局是如何发生的？

• 来电显示欺骗：受害者接到一个显示温哥华警察局非紧急号码的电话，该号码是通过来电显示欺骗技术显示的。 [1,2 ]
• 诱饵：来电者自称是警长史蒂夫·雷。他告诉受害者，警方正在积极调查一家当地金融机构。[1,2 ]
• 共谋：受害者随后通过 WhatsApp 联系到一名金融机构代表的诈骗分子。 [1,2 ]
• 交易内容：受害者被指示进行“测试转账”，以评估该机构的交易追踪能力。该居民发送了两笔单独的电子邮件转账：一笔为 70,000 美元，另一笔为 38,000 美元。 [1 ,2 ,3 ]
  

官方安全警示信号
警察部门和金融机构非常重视以下几个关键规程，以防止这些损失：[ 1 ]

• 禁止秘密转账：警方绝不会要求公民转账、存入加密货币或在账户之间转移资金以协助刑事调查。 [1 ]
• 安全提示：正规银行绝不会通过电话向客户索要网上银行账号、双因素认证码或一次性密码。 [1 ]
• 不要相信来电显示：网络犯罪分子经常伪装他们的数字身份，使其看起来像是合法的当地警察部门或企业。[1,2
  

如果您收到自称是警方的机构打来的紧急求助电话，当局建议您立即挂断。不要使用对方提供的任何电话号码；请使用公开的电话号码簿手动查找并拨打您的银行或当地警察局的电话。如果您已成为诈骗目标，请向当地警方和加拿大反欺诈中心举报。[ 1 , 2 , 3 ]

Sunshine Coast RCMP issued a public warning after a Sechelt, B.C. resident lost $108,000 to a sophisticated fraudster impersonating Vancouver Police Department (VPD) Chief Constable Steve Rai. [1, 2]
The elaborate scheme combined caller ID manipulation, police impersonation, and fake banking representatives to trick the victim into sending large financial transfers. [1, 2]

How the $108,000 Scam Unfolded

• The Spoofed Call: The victim received a phone call displaying the VPD non-emergency number via caller ID spoofing. [1, 2]
• The Bait: The caller claimed to be Chief Constable Steve Rai. He told the victim that police were actively investigating a local financial institution. [1, 2]
• The Accomplicity: The victim was then contacted on WhatsApp by a fraudster pretending to be a representative of that local financial institution. [1, 2]
• The Transactions: The victim was instructed to perform "test transfers" to evaluate the institution's transaction tracking abilities. The resident sent two separate email money transfers: one for $70,000 and a second for $38,000. [1, 2, 3]
  

Official Safety Red Flags
Police departments and financial institutions heavily emphasize several key protocols to prevent these losses: [1]

• No Undercover Transfers: Police officers will never ask citizens to transfer money, deposit cryptocurrency, or move funds between accounts to assist with a criminal investigation. [1]
• No Security Disclosures: Real banks will never ask customers over the phone for online banking credentials, two-factor authentication codes, or one-time passwords. [1]
• Do Not Trust Caller ID: Cybercriminals routinely disguise their digital identity to look like legitimate local police detachments or businesses. [1, 2]
  

What To Do If Contacted
If you receive an unsolicited, urgent request for money from an organization claiming to be the police, authorities advise you to immediately hang up. Do not use any phone numbers provided by the caller; instead, manually look up and call your bank or local police detachment using a publicly verified directory. If you have been targeted, report the occurrence to your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. [1, 2, 3]
