A 23-year-old graduate of Tsinghua University, studying at University College London (UCL), was targeted in a phone scam where the caller impersonated a UK immigration official. The student was threatened with visa cancellation and deportation, leading to the transfer of approximately 450,000 yuan (around £50,000). The scammer also attempted to persuade the victim to travel to Cambodia. Authorities from both China and the UK, along with the embassy and overseas alumni, worked together to locate and rescue the student, who was confirmed safe at home on November 4.
