Pay attention to remittances through money changers and beware of falling into a scam. Several Hong Kong people successively remittances through the same money exchange shop. The company later claimed that the remittances could not be made due to frozen accounts in the Mainland, and the claimants all failed. He Qiming, a member of the legislative council who assisted them, reported to the customs on Wednesday (20th) together with two of them.
Among them, Liu Sheng and Mrs. Liu asked Members for help in March last year. They remitted 210,000 through a money changer. Afterwards, the store claimed that there had been some accidents but failed to complete the remittance.
Earlier in October last year, He Qiming also received a similar request from a suffering victim. The victim lost 300,000. He asked the Consumer Council, the police, and the customs for help, but also claimed no results.
He Qiming strongly criticized the Customs for the six months since he received the complaint. No action has been taken. He suspected that someone had learned the guts and then used similar methods to suspect fraud. The Customs is urged to take action as soon as possible to withdraw the license of the money changer to avoid similar incidents.
