Bankcard fraud

A WOMAN surnamed Wang was dissuaded by bank employees in Luohu District from transferring 600,000 yuan to fraudsters recently.

According to Luohu police, Wang came to an outlet of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Liantang on Sept. 8 for online banking business.

The bank’s security guard felt Wang might have been cheated as she said she was required by the Shanghai Public Security Bureau to transfer money to save her son, who was supposedly facing arrest for being involved in money laundering.
