最近在旧金山湾区出现了很多网络诈骗的报道，这些诈骗团伙在湾曲的作案手段一般有两种，都是和电信诈骗以及网恋诈骗（online dating scammer ) 有关：
1） 随机打电话给老人，热心帮助孤寡老人，然后取得老人的信任，利用投资理财的产品和平台，最终把老人的钱骗去了
2） 第二种是网上交友，这个特点是从事诈骗的人，他们自称是住在湾区，大多数找理由不见面。也有少数能够跟受害人见面 一到两次，非常有限。在取得信任之后，以爱的种种名义让受害人进行数字货币的投资，从而使受害人失去钱财。 这些作案人基本上都没有被抓到，因为他们使用的这个电话好像没有办法没有办法追踪到这个一个真正的人，他们常用微信，或者是脸书messages , WhatsApp, 这种交友帐号，注册的虚假账号，基本上没有抓到他们。
我现在在这里做了一个总结，希望能够帮助大家提高警惕，远离坏人，保护好自己和家人。
1）陌生人频繁聊天，甜言蜜语，不见面，或很少见面
2）热衷于谈投资
如果观察到以上两种情况，一定要小心被诈骗。
不要随便相信网上认识的陌生人，征求家人，朋友的意见。
新认识的朋友一旦提到投资理财，必须马上要求验证真实身份，否则就可以迅速切断一切联系。千万不可以按他们的指示转钱。
