Woman loses over 68 million dollars to scammers

A 43-year-old woman transferred 68.94 million dollars to scammers after they claimed to be mainland police authorities. Sources say the woman's husband works in a finance company on the mainland.

In June, the woman received a call from someone who claimed to be an official from a mainland police bureau. The person said the woman had been suspected of money laundering. To prove her innocence, the victim followed the scammers' instruction and transferred a total of 68.94 million dollars to 10 local bank accounts.

The woman realised she was scammed and filed an report to police after mentioning the incident to her family. The Western district crime squad is investigating the case, but no arrests have been made so far.
