There have been many scammers from China there are using phone calls to scare people by pretending to be “MOH” officials. They will first scare the victim into believing them and later ask for your bank information.
Here is an encounter by a netizen:
Just received a call from robocall that told me to press 3 and someone speaking Chinese claiming to be from “MOH” informed me that someone USED my name (I gave a false name) to send false covid news in china.
Then they asked me to write down a bunch of details of the registered phone number in shanghai before “forwarding” me to “shanghai police”.
The “policeman” asked a bunch of questions, then asked me to search for the shanghai police station before showing me the official website’s contact number and called me back spoofing that number and claiming that he will record a “statement” from me before he can investigate this impersonation fraud.
I hung up and he called me multiple times and even WhatsApp me which I ignore and report on WhatsApp.
