台北市1名8旬李姓老翁,日前聽信友人介紹「AI高科技投資」,赴銀行欲匯款50萬元,行員察覺有異通報警方,警方到場發現李翁對投資內容一知半解,加上行員查得投資公司資本額與投資金額明顯不成比例,遂聯繫家屬到場共同勸說,最終才讓李翁打消匯款念頭,成功保住積蓄。

北市警局松山分局三民派出所日前接獲轄內銀行通報,該李姓老翁聽信不熟的友人介紹投資NFC、AI等高科技技術產品可獲利,一時心動,欲將50萬元匯款予友人投資。

警方經派員到場後,發現李翁手機相關資訊多為國外網站內容,進一步詢問投資產品、獲利方式等細節時,李翁卻無法具體回答,僅稱詳細投資事宜均交由友人處理,引起員警警覺。

警方隨即向李翁說明常見假投資詐騙手法及案例,銀行行員也提醒,經查該投資公司於去年才成立,資本額僅10萬元,且設立地點為一址多家公司的商業辦公室,相關情形仍應審慎查證,切勿貿然匯款。

同時,警方經聯繫李翁家屬,也趕到加入勸說,在警方、銀行及家屬三方耐心勸阻下,始放棄匯款。

警方提醒,不肖人士常以AI、高科技等時下熱門話題包裝投資標的,再以高獲利吸引民眾投入資金,必須提高警覺,避免受騙。
