Chinese Visitors Allegedly Rob Jamaicans of $100m
Chinese nationals who visited Jamaica as tourists a month ago have reportedly robbed Jamaicans of over $100 million.
Three men have been charged with financial and fraud crimes.
They are Zhong Jianping, 38, Guo Shanghai, 37, and Zhong Fulin, 37, who all reside in China.
It is believed they were able to steal money from the bank accounts of unsuspecting Jamaicans with the aid of sophisticated electronic devices.
They reportedly utilised several apps and skimming devices at ATMs to rip banking information from people’s bank cards.
According to Senior Superintendent Clifford Chambers of the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime unit:
“The equipment that they have were at several ATMs in the Corporate Area. A lot of them have been identified and taken off”.
Mr Chamber also stated that that investigations thus far indicate that they have been funnelling the ill-gotten gain out of the country. An amount that exceeds $100 million.
