Dear Mayor,

Since I haven't heard anything from your Chief's Office even an acknowledgement of receiving my email from Hong Kong, I would like to seek your help if the case I reported here has been under investigation.

Many thanks,

K. Lau

Subject: Report Crime of Fraud
To:

Dear Deputy Chief,

I am a father of a teenager in Hong Kong who has recently tried to sell a “Kate Spade” shoulder bag on Carousell online marketplace. The buyer requested my daughter to mail the product to the following address:

76 Nob Hill Drive, Framingham, Massachusetts, Postal code 01701
Buyer: Sanchez Carolina
Phone: 1 (832) 429-4087

However, the buyer didn’t pay directly to my daughter; instead, the buyer made the payment to her bank, USCREDITS BANK. She asked my daughter to check email for payment confirmation from the bank and follow the bank’s instructions to receive money. That’s about the start of entire online fraud. I have prepared the attached document to record the entire incident in chronologically order with a few emails to support.

I am suspicious of the buyer due to the following observations:

1) The product, Kate Spade shoulder bag, is a US brand. My daughter was selling it at HK$580 as second hand with good condition. Though this buyer was willing to pay additional $310 for shipment; altogether it costs the buyer HK$890. This is not a collection or limited edition item. I doubt it costs much more than a new one.

2) The buyer demanded my daughter to complete their online transaction through her bank’s email. She always reminded my daughter to follow the bank’s instructions to immediately make extra payments of $3,110, $8,000….

3) The buyer doesn’t have any trading histories on Carousell; therefore, my daughter has no ideas about her credibility or any comments on this buyer from others.

Although I don’t have any proof of close relationship between the buyer and the online bank or being the same entity; definitively they both are suspicious of tricking people through online transaction.

My daughter has paid HK$3,110 to the USCredits Bank and HK$310 shipment fee to SF Express. My daughter requested SF Express to stop shipping the product this morning Nov 13; though, it’s still not confirmed to stop the shipment successfully yet!

I hope you and your team of professional officers can help investigate the suspicious buyer (the suspect) and her connection with the suspicious USCredits Bank on setting up this fraud transaction for my daughter. If the case is confirmed as a crime of fraud, I hope my daughter can get back all her paid money as she has been saving up her money for many years.

If you need any further information, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you in advance for your kind help!

Best Regards,

K. Lau
