After investigation, it was found that after the international student lived in a hotel in Munich, the German police officed a special action commando (SEK) who was responsible for rescue the hostages on September 2, but found that only she was in the room and did not have any traces of the kidnappers. It is reported that the girl had previously told my roommate that she wanted to travel.

Police found during the inquiry process that the international student was a victim of a scam. It is said that the scammers posing from the "official" from China to contact her, accusing her from participating in criminal activities and asking her to pay, so that she would stop pursuing prosecution.

Earlier in August, the Chinese Embassy in Germany issued a statement saying that recent criminals have once again faked the name of the Chinese embassy in Germany and frequently implemented telecommunications fraud, reminding Chinese citizens to beware of telecommunications fraud. The statement mentioned common types of fraud, such as impersonation of embassies and consulates, pretending to be public prosecution, online dating, online shopping, and made reminders of each type.

The statement also mentioned the handling of telecommunications fraud: After the other party suspected of telecommunications fraud, please do not give it up and immediately cut off the contact. Do not provide any personal information or transfer remittance. If you find a personal information, please tell your relatives and friends immediately to prevent criminals from using relevant information for fraud. If the property losses are encountered, the evidence should be properly preserved and reported to the local police in a timely manner. At the same time, the domestic public security organs shall report to the domestic public security organs. They should also contact my account account or their trading platform as soon as possible, asking them to take corresponding stop loss measures such as stop payment and freezing. If you cannot report the case directly to the domestic public security organs, you can also report the case in a timely manner through domestic close relatives and ask the domestic anti -telecommunications network fraud center to help.
