212-244-9392

Have you been researching anything on the internet regarding china lately?

I got 3 calls from this number on one day said I have an important mail from them.I have nothing to do with them so just blocked this number.

Why would the Chinese Consulate be calling me? I'm non- Chinese, American, born, raised and living in NYC.

No reason, it's well known scam.

This caller is speaking in Chinese...wont stop talking

Stop calling!!!

Same here. I let it go to voicemail and the message is in Chinese. As I don’t speak the language I just hung up.

Someone just called me from that number but did not leave a message.

I know the person. - A Verizon wireless manager who is Chinese and is living in Flushing, Queens is spoofing 212-244-9392 (and many other phone numbers) that belongs to Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in New York. Take the photo of the number on your Caller ID and/or Email the recorded message on your phone to the Consulate General and they will take action since its their landline phone number.

Same thing. The other number they are calling from is 212-244-6149.

Got a message from 212-244-9392 in Chinese to pick up urgent document from Chinese Consulate today.  Got a similar message yesterday from 212-244-9937.  Definitely a scam.

Just received a call from this number and when I called it back got "This number is not in service" message.
Definitely someone spoofing CallerID.

No call pease

They calling me with different numbers daily. Today this number called me as well. Didn't pick but I know it's the same ugly Chineese lady voice. Will block this right now.

I got this call one Saturday morning, after my curiosity lead me through the automated system I got to a guy tried to help me with this "important document". I opened the conversation in English but was asked whether I can speak Mandarin.

Counsulte works over the weekend doesn't speak English?

Then I got transferred to the "Shanghai Interpol", stated this "credit card under my name that was open in China was used for illegal activities".
Few facts: you need a legit Visa other than tourist Visa, in person with at least 2 forms of ID, pass a few security questions to be approved for a credit card. I have never visited China........

Long story short, I hang up due to boredom but these SOBs called me back, this time with a Pennsylvania number. So I asked this "interpol" what does he want? He said: "I have commited Grand money laundry crime along with this dude named: Lee Song, and to avoid getting arrested  by the authorities in China (I am an US citizen) I will have to pass a financial clearance. "

I told him why doesn't he contact the fed? He said: " this activity should stay confidential because it involved many high-profile people in Mainland...." I lost all my interest in speaking to this scumback, I hang up but he dialed back 4 more times.

Clearly I have been scammed but I wasn't obliviously consenting to their request. I would have lost everything I have got. Not everyone gets out so lucky as the commentators above and me. Here is an article about this scam, total lost reported to reach 250 million dollars. The article is in Mandarin because most of the victims were Chinese aged range from 19 to 80. There are some translation apps can help in understanding this article.

They changed the number: 212-244-6678. Don't trust this person, it is spam!

I received this phone today. I almost immediately thought that this was a scam, but I wondered exactly what they wanted. The woman asked about my name but not my birthday or bank number.

Called my cell phone, which on the DNC list, so right away you know they're thieves, and left a message in Chinese.  Obvously, they're fishing for Chinese victims, who are plentiful in NYC.
