Chinese Embassy in Spain Holds Anti-Fraud Session for Chinese Residents in Madrid
The Chinese Embassy in Spain reported on its website on November 2 that it recently co-hosted an anti-fraud talk with the Spanish branch of the European Times in a Madrid neighbourhood with a large Chinese community, taking consular-protection services into the community. Nearly 100 people attended, including overseas Chinese living in Spain and Chinese students.
Counsellor Liang Nan told the audience that the embassy upholds the principle of "diplomacy for the people" and works to protect the safety and lawful rights of Chinese citizens and institutions in Spain. He said the session aimed to raise risk awareness and improve participants' ability to recognise and respond to telecom and other fraud.
Veteran Chinese lawyer Ji Yihong and the embassy's consular staff used real cases to explain personal and property safety, common patterns of telecom and online fraud, prevention strategies and legal channels for protecting one's rights. In a lively question-and-answer session, attendees asked about identifying scam calls, investment traps and currency-exchange fraud, and the speakers answered each question.
Chinese residents of Spain who attended said the content addressed the real risks of daily life in Spain, that they would stay more vigilant, and that they would seek help promptly from the embassy and the local police when needed.
