澳大利亚警方最近对一起明显的诈骗案束手无策——一家报纸登了某公司的一则广告,说该公司进口了一些色情录像,有意者可通过支票定购。由于价格不算太高,一时定购者甚众。但是,几周之后,订购者没有收到录像,却看到这家公司在报上登载的一则声明。声明说,通过法律咨询,他们得知提供色情录像是非法的,因此为避免受到起诉,他们决定以公司支票的方式退还客户所有的款项。然而,由于这家公司的名称,很少有人去银行兑支票。 Australian police have been stymied lately for a clear fraud - a newspaper posted an ad from a company saying it imported some pornographic videos and that interested parties could order it by check. As the price is not too high, temporary subscribers are very public. However, a few weeks later, the subscriber did not receive the video, but saw a statement posted by the company in the newspaper. The statement said that through legal advice, they learned that the provision of pornography is illegal, so in order to avoid being prosecuted, they decided to refund all the money by way of a company check. However, due to the name of the company, few people go to the bank for checks.
