He was then connected with someone who was said to be with the Shanghai police and instructed him to send $4,000 from a bank account through the Hong Kong Bank to see if it was safe. He was told if he did not comply, they would inform the FBI and he would be deported back to China and charged.
He sent that amount Jan. 23 and then the next day sent $50,000 to the Hong Kong Bank through another bank account.
He told police the people he was talking to always called him and even video chatted with him, which made them more believable and also showed him their work cards.
