3 detained over US$3m e-mail scam
Print Edition
THREE people have been detained on suspicion of trying to defraud a local company out of almost 3 million euros (US$3.4 million), police said yesterday.
An investigation was launched on March 31 when an executive from the Pudong New Area-based firm complained to police that a business e-mail account had been hacked.
The person claimed that the suspects had used the account to contact the company’s head office and request money be transferred to their bank account.
Acting on that information, police said they were able to trace the e-mails and block the transaction before it was completed.
They also tracked down the person who had opened the bogus bank account to a hotel near Shanghai Railway Station, where he and two others were apprehended.
