The FBI has issued a cyber alert warning of scams targeting Chinese speakers residing in the U.S. Perpetrators impersonate legitimate health insurance providers and Chinese law enforcement, contacting victims via phone calls in Chinese. Scammers claim to investigate alleged surgical claims, show fake invoices via video calls, and demand payment. If victims deny claims, calls are escalated to fake Chinese officers threatening deportation or foreign legal action, demanding large bail money. Victims are instructed to download video communication software and remain connected for 24-hour monitoring. The FBI advises verifying insurance claims through official channels, avoiding sharing personal information, refraining from financial transfers to unknown callers, and never allowing remote computer control. Victims are urged to report incidents to IC3.gov with detailed transaction information, contact records, and interaction specifics.
