千辛萬苦出國留學,好不容易進了美國的藤校,那為何還要鋌而走險去觸及法律紅線?下面出國留學網(wǎng)來說說美國藤校留學生因詐騙被捕為哪般。
布朗大學發(fā)言人布萊恩?克拉克(Brian Clark)表示,該校周三獲悉了這起逮捕事件。說大學將“在大學政策的背景下審查此事件,并確定可能需要采取臨時措施...... ”
羅德島常春藤名校布朗大學的中國留學生李世帥 (Shishuai Li,音譯 ) 24日被警方以涉嫌詐騙金錢罪名逮捕。25日在羅德島普維斯頓法院,被法官下令交出護照,以3000元交保。
據(jù)美聯(lián)社報導,李世帥是布朗大學電腦系研究所一年級的學生。他被控謊稱要為杜拜的貧困兒童開辦學校,騙取佛羅里達州一名老婦3萬元。警方認為,李世帥與專門針對女性行騙的非洲尼日利亞網(wǎng)絡(luò)詐騙集團合作詐欺。
李世帥涉嫌在以年齡多為50歲以上的約會網(wǎng)站上尋找交友對象,找年長女性聊天。謊稱自己是住在佛羅里達州的60多歲男子,要為杜拜貧童募款建學校。
國土安全部門去年11月1日,在美國銀行通報李世帥的帳戶有筆18.1萬元的進帳后,開始調(diào)查。11月27日,發(fā)現(xiàn)該帳戶又有一筆來自奧蘭多市轉(zhuǎn)進的3萬元。
這名74歲佛州的老婦告訴警方,她在Ourtime.com 交友網(wǎng)站遇見這名叫Luiz的“60多歲佛州男子”。聽信他要為杜拜貧童等款建校后,匯錢給他。
警方報告中指出,事實上,這筆匯進李世帥戶頭。監(jiān)視器錄下他在住處不遠處銀行提款機中轉(zhuǎn)帳的影像。
美國銀行覺得帳戶有異后凍結(jié)戶頭。李世帥12月5日致電詢問。他告訴銀行,這些存款是由他一名國外友人借他用來付常春藤學校學費、付房租,和其他私人開銷的錢。他說,“完全不知道朋友如何安排別人把錢存入帳戶”。
警方說,此案開始由國土安全局調(diào)查,之后把案子交給地方警檢單位。
Brown U. student charged in fraud scheme that targeted elderly woman
By Dan McGowan from WPRI
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – A graduate student at Brown University was arraigned in District Court Thursday morning after he was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses in a scheme that allegedly targeted an elderly Florida woman. 布朗大學的一名研究生周四早上在地方法院受審,他被控在一項涉嫌以佛羅里達州老年婦女為目標的計劃中以虛假的方式獲得金錢。
Shishuai Li, 25, was arrested by Providence police after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security informed the city that it was investigating a 74-year-old Orlando woman’s claim she wired a man she met online $30,000 to build a school for underprivileged children in Dubai. Federal investigators say the funds ended up in Li’s bank account.
The woman said she thought she was sending the money to a man she met on an online dating site, according to a police report. The man identified himself as “Luiz” and told her he was in his 60s, the report states.
Homeland Security launched its probe into Li in November after a financial investigations team at Bank of America contacted the agency about a bank account tied to Li that “displayed a pattern of out of state deposits and wires,” according to a police report. The account has received approximately $181,000 in deposits since August.
The bank froze LI’s account in November. When he contacted a bank employee, he claimed the deposits were arranged by a friend who was lending him money, according to the police report. He said the friend lived outside of the country. He also told the bank he used the money to pay rent and tuition.
Brian Clark, a spokesperson for Brown University, said the school learned about the arrest Wednesday. The said the university will “review the incident in the context of university policies and determine what interim measures may be required as a more complete understanding of the circumstances becomes clear.”
