Scam webinar and further scam resources
Pratt 国际学生事务处近来连续接到多起国际生遭受电信诈骗的报告。此类事件不仅长期存在，且诈骗分子采用多技术手段诱骗受害者。普瑞特艺术学院已有数名国际学生蒙受巨大经济损失为帮助广大国际学生提高电信诈骗识别和防范能力，我们强烈呼吁谨记以下重要提醒：
Unfortunately, some Pratt international students are being scammed. Please be aware scams can be clever and tricky. The scam is usually someone contacting you as a government agency or customs, or the consulate or embassy, etc. The scammer will have a story about you being in trouble and that you need to pay money.
如有陌生来电，请务必提高警惕。诈骗分子会伪造身份威胁或者让你处于被动状态，误以为是真实情况。
It may be difficult to identify a call or message as a scammer. Please screen your calls and messages carefully.
以下是Pratt国际生遭遇网络诈骗的惯用手段，如果有类似情形发生，请立即挂断电话，避免继续沟通或者转账。
- 诈骗分子会利用号码转换器让来电号码显示成中国号码，并通过严厉的语言让你误以为是执法机关。其会利用你熟悉的个人信息，过往出入境资料，银行账号等信息威胁你。请立即挂断电话，或继续泄露个人信息给诈骗分子；
- 诈骗分子可能利用你真实的个人信息威胁你以下情况如，有相关案底、已被监控、你的银行账户涉及巨额洗钱、你的身份过期等等，因此你将不能再次入境中国。如有类似对话内容发生，可以判断为诈骗电话；
- 诈骗分子会要求你在通话期间开启摄像头，并威胁你以此来进行监控。无论何种情况，执法部门都不会用采用这种执法形式；
- 诈骗分子可能会让你输入虚假网站信息，以及与你相关的案件号码，并伪造公检法机构的文件，以此让你误以为他们伪造是的情况是真实的，或要求你在指定网站上输入个人信息，银行账户信息等。如有类似情况，请务必停止输入，以免被诈骗分子窃取更多重要信息；
- 诈骗分子可能通过Telegram，Skype，微信，Instagram或其他应用程序，伪装成执法部门，或者Pratt官方邮件，Pratt国际办公室，甚至有可能是你的学术老师进行诈骗活动。诈骗分子会发送虚假信息，或者指导你伪造信息以骗取更多钱财；
- 诈骗分子可能会团队作案，并试图通过语言连续给你施加压力，强调你可以通过提供保释金撤销你的案底、指控等等；
- 诈骗分子会要求你不要与父母，室友或者亲近的朋友分享你的信息。
Below are some real examples of tactics scammers have recently used on Pratt students:
- You are called from a phone number in China. The scammer will know some information about you already. Never share your personal information and hang up.
- You are told you are in trouble in a money laundering case, you are under surveillance, your status is invalid, or there is an issue with your passport and you are not allowed to enter China again.
- You are asked to put your camera on for a video chat. No legitimate agency will ever ask you to do that.
- You are asked to visit a fake website with a fake case number and enter personal information, including your financial information.
- You are sent an image on an app, such as Telegram, Skype, WeChat, Instagram, or others, that appears to be an email screenshot from Pratt, Pratt OIA, or a Pratt academic advisor. You are told to send the image to another funding source, like your parents, in order to get them to send you additional money.
- You are repeatedly told to send money to clear your name and resolve the case, and you are contacted by more than one scammer pretending to be officials.
- You are told by a scammer to never share the information with your parents, roommate, or close friends.
典型的电信诈骗电话
如果接到任何不明来电，声称是公检法、领事馆或大使馆、海关、防疫部门等任何政府机构或快递公司，且声称受害人有违法行为，诈骗分子会用普通话透露他们的单位名称、地址、办公号码、姓名和工号，以降低受害人的戒备心，并要求受害人按照指示点击链接、提供银行帐户信息或共享屏幕（泄露短信弹窗中的验证码）。如遇以上情形，请立即停止操作，以防诈骗行为造成的经济损失。若需要进一步确认是否是骗局，应挂断电话，再直接致电通话中提及的权力机构。如果是通过电子邮件进行的诈骗行为，切记不要回复，或直接联系权力机构。
Please be aware, if someone calls you and says you are in trouble with the law/immigration/customs/etc, it is a scam. The scammers can spoof both real phone numbers and real email addresses to make it look real. They may speak your native language, call from your home country, and know certain things about you.
权力机构不会向个人索要任何个人信息或要求转账
请注意，各大权力机构不会通过电话、微信、QQ等索要个人身份信息，更不会要求转账汇款。如遇问题，会通过信函通知，并要求您通过官方渠道联系他们。一旦听到任何关于对方帮您转接电话到其他相关部门的，应立即确认为诈骗电话，并请立即挂断电话。
If you really want to confirm it is a scam, you should hang up and contact that office or agency directly instead. If it is an email, do not reply to it, and contact the agency or office directly yourself.
切勿轻信陌生普通话来电
请注意，任何告知受害人遇到法律、移民、海关、疫情防控等问题，尤其用普通话进行解释的，均可视为是诈骗电话。更多提醒，请详见中国驻美国大使馆官方提示。
冒充Pratt或OIA工作人员
更有诈骗分子冒充 Pratt 或 OIA工作人员进行诈骗活动。 凡具备以OIA等Pratt学校部门名义致电或邮件，且套取个人信息、威胁引诱您已遇到移民问题、控制人身自由、告知欠款并要求汇款等特征之一者，均可判定为诈骗活动，请立即挂断电话，不予理会。如果担心事件真伪，请第一时间致电OIA 或发送邮件到oia@pratt.edu进行问题反馈并确认。
The scammer could even pretend to be Pratt or OIA. For example, if someone calls or emails you from the OIA and says you are in immigration trouble and owe money for it, it is a scam. But, if you are worried it is real, you should hang up and call OIA yourself or email us from a new email to confirm you are reaching our real office.
切勿相信来电显示号码或发件人电子邮箱地址
请注意，诈骗团伙可以伪造来电显示号码和电子邮件地址，使其看上去以假乱真。切勿因为在网上查到了该机构的官方电话，或发现和来电显示或者他们告诉您的电话号码一致，就相信其是真正的权力机构，以上行为是典型的诈骗手段，请提高自我防范意识。
