Fake call from 165

A scammer impersonating the 165 police called, claiming your identity was stolen and used to open phone lines for sending scam messages, which were reported by the public. They threatened you to report to the police within a limited time, or all phone lines under your name would be canceled. They deliberately provided the name and badge number of a police officer and the real Criminal Investigation Bureau address. In the end, they kindly helped you transfer to an online reporting line, but actually transferred you to an accomplice. After lecturing you, they kindly allowed you to use LINE video call to report the case. When you added them on LINE, they purposely shook the camera to show a space that looked like a police station, then said they were moving to the interrogation room, then covered the camera so you couldn't see. Mid-interrogation, they acted out a side case, saying you were involved in another scam case, the mastermind was caught, and you were identified as an accomplice. They seriously conducted the interrogation, told you the investigation was confidential and you couldn't tell others, and warned you not to search online for related information or you would be mistaken as an accomplice. Fortunately, afterwards, sensing something was wrong, you searched online and called 165 to verify, confirming it was a scam. Luckily, only some personal information was stolen, with no financial loss. This story is to remind everyone that 165 police will not proactively call individuals, and police officers will never use LINE video calls for reporting. Reporting must be done in person at the police station. If you receive any calls from government agencies and are unsure, hang up first and call 165 to confirm. Do not rush to avoid being manipulated; the scammers will deliberately prevent you from hanging up. This is a reminder, thank you all for reading.
