뉴질랜드 이민성 사칭 금품요구 전화사기 예방 안내

최근 뉴질랜드내 이민자를 대상으로 하는 전화사기 사건이 발생하고 있어 주의를 당부드립니다.

이들은 불특정 다수를 대상으로 이민성 대표전화가 현출되게 하거나 상대방의 비자정보 등 일부를 언급하여 이민성 직원으로 사칭한 후 상대방의 체류자격에 문제가 있으며,  불법체류가 되어 추방당 할 수 있다는 등의 내용으로 특정 은행계좌로의 송금 및 신용카드 정보 등을 요구하는 방법을 사용하고 있습니다.

Office of Ethnic Communities would like to alert you to a current telephone scam operating in New Zealand which is  targeting ethnic community members. 

The scammers pose as Immigration New Zealand officials and call individuals to discuss ‘problems’ with their residency, suggesting the person may be considered an illegal immigrant.  They then request sums of money to be paid or threaten deportation.

This scam is currently being investigated by New Zealand Police 

Scams like this are targeted and can seem credible.  Do not  give out account details over the phone unless you made the call and you trust that the number you called is genuine. Ask for a name and number so you can call them back, and check that number against a number you know to be genuine.

If you suspect you have given away your credit card details to a scammer call your bank immediately so that they can suspend your account. Ask to speak to bank staff that specialise in security or fraud for assistance. Credit card companies can reverse a fraudulent transaction if contacted soon enough.

If you believe you have been a victim of this scam please contact your local police station.
