About this episode
On this episode of the Inside the FBI Podcast, we're warning the public about a financial fraud scheme involving scammers who impersonate Chinese law enforcement and target the U.S.-based Chinese community—in particular, Chinese students attending American universities. For a full transcript and additional resources, visit fbi.gov/news/podcasts. If you believe you've been contacted by an individual or group claiming to be a Chinese authority, contact your local FBI field office. You can visit fbi.gov/fieldoffices for more information. And if you’ve experienced or witnessed any fraudulent or suspicious activities, please report them to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov as soon as you can. Be sure to include as much transaction information as possible, such as wire instructions, wallet addresses, telephone numbers, and text or email communications.
