Wang Guotong's personal data, photos and family background were defrauded by SMS for HK$ 20 million.

It is reported that telephone fraud cases in Hong Kong have increased greatly recently. When the police sent personnel to Beijing to discuss countermeasures with the mainland public security departments, the largest fraud case of its kind was exposed yesterday. The victims were Wang Guotong, an internationally renowned national treasure erhu master, and Li Yuanrong, the wife of a famous female singer in China. A few days ago, the couple were cheated out of 20 million Hong Kong dollars by swindlers posing as mainland judicial institutions. It was not until yesterday morning that they discussed with their families, suspected of being cheated, and called the police for help. After preliminary investigation, the police classified it as "obtaining property by deception" and handed it over to the ninth team of the Criminal Investigation Team of Wan Chai District for follow-up. No one has been arrested so far.

It is reported that Wang Guotong (76), a national treasure master of Hu Qin, and his wife Li Yuanrong (73), a famous singer, were cheated out of a huge sum of money. According to the news, Li Yuanrong received a phone call claiming to be an employee of Hongkong Post on 24th last month, saying that she was involved in criminal cases in the Mainland, and asked her to contact the People's Procuratorate of China and put the phone through to the so-called "law enforcement personnel". The swindler once asked the victim to remit a huge sum of more than one million yuan to the mainland bank account as a "deposit" within a limited time.

After consulting with her husband, I learned that Li still resorted to unscrupulous means to remit money according to instructions. On the 27th of last month, the swindler claimed to "dredge" and asked her to remit money again. Until 3 1 last month, Li went to the bank to find a change shop to remit money to the mainland bank account designated by the other party for many times, ranging from 1 10,000 to 8 million each time, and remitted 20 million successively. It is said that a bank clerk once asked her why she sent such a large sum of money back to the mainland, but she was too surprised to remit the money to the liar.

Until a few days ago, the Wangs saw the propaganda of the police to prevent telephone fraud and found that it was similar to their own experience. They suspected that they had been cheated. After discussing with their son, they finally called the police for help yesterday morning 10: 43.

Chen Hengyong, a member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong, said that there are more and more similar telephone fraud cases. In the past 10 days, he has received 50 requests for help from the public. He called on the public to verify and discuss with their families before remittance. "There have been many incidents this month, such as pretending to be a travel agency, pretending to be a mainland official before, and pretending to be a courier company. The courier company slipped away this week, and a mother-in-law has not seen more than 20 million. This case is very sad. "
