The fake Chinese police scam

Not heard of this one before and it's a pretty elaborate scam targeting Chinese people. As usual, it's nasty as hell, so don't fall for it.

Chinese people around the world are being targeted by an elaborate scam in which criminals pretend to be Chinese police. A British-Chinese woman has told the BBC that she handed over her life savings to con men who wore uniforms in video calls and gave her a virtual tour of what appeared to be a police station.
