<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">A joint task force has been created to address and coordinate information about an ongoing fraudulent scheme targeting Chinese foreign nationals in the Lower Mainland. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">In July 2017, a telecommunication fraud trend targeting Chinese foreign nationals emerged in the Lower Mainland. Numerous incidents were reported to police where intended victims reported being contacted by suspects claiming to be Chinese government officials. Victims were informed that they were implicated in crimes in China. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The suspects then coerced the victims into a series of actions, warning if they didn't cooperate, their families in China would be harmed. Simultaneously, their families in China were contacted by the suspects who convinced them that their family members were being held against their will, which led to a demand for money.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
In each case, the suspects falsely claimed to be Chinese government officials.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
In response to these incidents, the Lower Mainland District RCMP and E Division Major Crime have created a task force to examine the issue of virtual kidnap that appear to be targeting Chinese foreign nationals in the Lower Mainland. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The task force's mandate is to coordinate investigative information from various police agencies to further all investigations into the ongoing series of offences. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<q style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; quotes: "“" "”" "‘" "’";">While the methods used to target the victims may change over time, the way to protect yourself remains the same</q><span style="font-style: italic;"> says S/Sgt. Annie Linteau, Senior Media Relations Officer. </span><q style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; quotes: "“" "”" "‘" "’";">Anyone who receives such a message or phone call should not comply with any demands, end the conversation and report the incident to police immediately</q><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Senior leaders of the RCMP recently met representatives of the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China to share concerns over recent incidents, inform them of investigative actions to date and discuss outreach strategies.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The Chinese Consulate General in Vancouver reminds the Chinese nationals in Canada, should anyone be involved in criminal investigation in China, the legal documents will be sent by formal written notice through Chinese Embassy in Ottawa or Consulates General in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and Calgary. The above mentioned diplomatic or consular agencies will not contact criminal suspect by phone, nor will they ask for personal banking information. Those having received such fraud phone calls are encouraged to report to police at 911 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).</div>

<br />
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada has a mandate to learn the truth about what happened in the residential schools and to inform all Canadians about what happened in the schools. The TRC published its final report on December 15, 2015 in order to redress the legacy of residential schools
and advance the process of Canadian reconciliation.<br />
<br />
Please read the final report here: <a href="http://bit.ly/1JcnG8J">http://bit.ly/1JcnG8J</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Commission has documented the truth of what happened by relying on records held by those who operated and funded the schools, testimony from officials of the institutions that operated the schools, and experiences reported by survivors, their families, communities and anyone personally affected by the residential school experience and its subsequent impacts<o:p></o:p></div>

It is due to the courage and determination of former
students—the Survivors of Canada’s residential school system—that the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) was established. They worked for decades
to place the issue of the abusive treatment that students were subjected to at
residential schools on the national agenda. Their perseverance led to the
reaching of the historic Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. All
Canadians must now demonstrate the same level of courage and determination, as
we commit to an ongoing process of reconciliation. By establishing a new and
respectful relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians, we
will restore what must be restored, repair what must be repaired, and return
what must be returned.<o:p></o:p></div>
