纽约市警察局通缉金条骗局嫌疑人：67岁长者被骗交出900万美元金条
纽约市警察局11月11日公布监控影像，通缉一名金条骗局嫌疑人：他涉嫌骗走纽约市曼哈顿上西区一名67岁长者价值900万美元的金条，警方按重大盗窃案立案调查，并请公众协助辨认嫌疑人。
警方说，骗局始于2025年3月26日，受害人电脑上弹出一条安全警报，一名自称安全公司人员的男子告诉他，其金融资产已被攻破，可以帮他保住钱。受害人随后被说服进行多笔交易，提取现金、购买金条，再把金条交出，美其名曰「保全资产、保护银行账户」。
2025年4月16日，受害人在上西区西81街与百老汇附近与这名所谓的安全专家当面交接，把金条交给了对方，此后再未见过此人。警方其后调取了街头监控，拍到嫌疑人影像。知情者可拨打纽约市警察局止罪热线 1-800-577-TIPS（8477）提供线索，所有来电保密。
纽约州总检察长办公室此前已就同类金条骗局向长者发出警告，称这类以电脑弹窗警报开场、诱使受害人把存款换成金条再交「信使」取走的手法，两年内已在纽约州造成逾1亿美元损失。

NYPD Hunts Gold-Bar Scam Suspect Who Took $9 Million in Gold From a 67-Year-Old Upper West Side Man
The New York City Police Department released surveillance images on November 11 seeking a suspect in a gold-bar scam that took $9 million in gold bars from a 67-year-old man on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Police are investigating the case as grand larceny and are asking the public to help identify the man.
Investigators said the scheme began on March 26, 2025, when a security alert popped up on the victim's computer and a man claiming to work for a security company told him his financial assets had been compromised and offered to protect his money. The victim was persuaded to carry out multiple transactions, withdrawing cash and buying gold bars, then handing the bars over, supposedly to secure his assets and protect his bank accounts.
On April 16, 2025, the victim met the supposed security expert near West 81st Street and Broadway on the Upper West Side and handed over the gold bars; he never saw the man again. Detectives later recovered street surveillance video of the suspect. Anyone with information can call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477); all calls are confidential.
New York's attorney general has previously warned seniors about the same pattern of gold-bar scams, which begin with a computer pop-up alert and end with victims converting savings into gold bars collected by couriers; the office put statewide losses at more than $100 million over two years.
