Recently, there has been a surge in cases of overseas students falling victim to ‘virtual kidnapping’ scams. Fraudsters pose as law enforcement or embassy officials, using spoofed caller IDs to accuse students of crimes or visa issues, then coerce them into creating staged videos showing themselves bound, beaten, or in distress. Isolated and intimidated, victims often comply. These videos are sent to their families abroad with demands for high ransoms. Such scams exploit emotional distress and cross-border information gaps, causing significant financial and psychological harm. Students and parents are reminded: legitimate authorities will never demand money or private transfers via phone. Verify suspicious calls through official channels and report them immediately.
近期，海外留学生遭遇‘虚拟绑架’诈骗的案件频发，诈骗分子冒充公检法人员或使馆工作人员，通过技术手段伪造来电显示，以涉嫌犯罪、签证问题等为由胁迫留学生拍摄自己被捆绑、殴打或求助的虚假绑架视频。受害者往往因恐惧与信息隔绝而配合，随后诈骗分子将这些视频发送给其国内家人，并勒索高额‘赎金’。此类骗局利用亲情焦虑与跨国信息差，已造成多起严重经济损失与心理创伤。提醒留学生及家长：官方机构绝不会电话索要钱财或指挥私下转账，接到可疑电话应第一时间通过正规渠道核实并报警。
