埃菲尔铁塔竟被“卖”了两次？ The Eiffel Tower Was “Sold” Twice?
1925年，有个超级骗子叫维克多·卢斯蒂格，他想出了一个离谱又精密的骗局。他假扮成法国政府官员，对外宣称埃菲尔铁塔因为维修费用太高，要“秘密拆掉当废铁卖”。结果还真有废铁商人信了，拿出大笔钱想买下这笔“天大生意”，而卢斯蒂格成功拿钱跑路。
更夸张的是，几个月后他居然又准备再卖一次！这场骗局因为太荒诞、计划太缜密，而且受害者都不好意思报案，最后成了历史上最传奇的诈骗之一。
In 1925, conman Victor Lustig posed as a French government official and claimed that the Eiffel Tower would be “secretly dismantled and sold as scrap metal” due to high maintenance costs. He successfully tricked a scrap dealer out of a huge sum of money and escaped. A few months later, he almost managed to “sell” the tower again! This absurd yet meticulously planned scam became one of the most legendary frauds in history, partly because the victims were too embarrassed to report it.

“木乃伊爷爷”的养老金骗局 The “Mummified Grandpa” Pension Scam
1978年，东京有个叫加藤宗现的男子去世了，但他的家人既没通知政府，也没办理后事，而是把遗体一直放在家里，慢慢干瘪成了木乃伊。
更离谱的是，这场骗局持续了三十多年。政府一直以为加藤还活着，把他列为“东京最年长男性”，而家人则每个月继续领取养老金和敬老奖金，总共骗了大约900万日元（当时大概32万令吉）。
事情直到2010年才曝光。当时东京政府准备给加藤庆祝111岁生日，工作人员上门祝寿，家人却各种推脱。警方最后强行进屋，才发现他早就去世多年，遗体早已干成了木乃伊。
In 1978, a man named Sogen Kato in Tokyo passed away, but his family did not report his death to the government or arrange a funeral. Instead, they kept his body at home, allowing it to mummify.
This scam lasted over 30 years. During this time, Kato was officially recognized as “Tokyo’s oldest man.” His family continued to receive his pension and elderly benefits, accumulating around 9 million yen (approximately RM 320,000 at the time).
The truth was uncovered in 2010 when Tokyo officials planned to celebrate Kato’s 111th birthday. When staff visited, his family made repeated excuses. Police eventually forcedentry and discovered that Kato had long been dead, with his body shriveled like a mummy.
一口“新鲜”的骗局 The Scam of “Fresh Air”
2010年代，中国很多大城市都被雾霾笼罩。那几年，出门戴口罩成了常态，空气净化器卖得火爆，大家都在想办法“呼吸点干净空气”。
就在这个背景下，一种神奇又离谱的产品火了罐装空气。商家宣传说，这些空气来自「加拿大落基山脉」「新西兰高原」或者「长白山森林」这种纯天然、零污染的地方，还分什么“晨雾款”“清晨森林款”“湖畔晨曦款”，一罐要卖几十到几百块人民币。包装也做得像奢侈品一样，在社交平台和电商上卖得有模有样，不少人为了猎奇、送礼，甚至图个心理安慰就真的买了。
In the 2010s, many major Chinese cities were engulfed in severe smog. Face masks became essential, air purifier sales skyrocketed, and the public’s desire for “clean air” peaked.
Against this backdrop, a bizarre product quietly went viral canned air.
Sellers claimed this air came from “Canada’s Rocky Mountains,” “New Zealand’s highlands,” or “China’s Changbai Mountain forests,” with variants like “morning mist,” “forest dawn,” or “lakeside sunrise.” A single can sold for tens to hundreds of RMB. Through social media and e-commerce, these “air cans” were marketed like luxury items, with many people buying them out of curiosity, as gifts, or for psychological comfort.
In reality, most of these products were just ordinary compressed air,sometimes even “balcony air” pumped at home. They lacked scientific verification, guaranteed origins, and any real medical benefit for air quality or health.
英国王室“皇家会员卡”骗局 UK Royal “Membership Card” Scam
骗子在社交媒体上打出各种豪华广告，说只要买一张所谓的“皇家会员卡”，就能享受超梦幻的待遇比如和查尔斯国王共进晚餐、免费机票、iPhone、王室周边，甚至还会给你一个“官方认证身份”。
不少人被这些噱头迷得晕头转向，乖乖掏钱买了高价会员卡。结果付完钱才发现，这些福利全都是编出来的，所谓的“皇家会员”只是一场精心设计的骗局。
Scammers posted luxurious advertisements on social media, claiming that by purchasing a “Royal Membership Card,” one could enjoy perks like dining with King Charles, free air tickets, iPhones, royal merchandise, and official recognition. Many users fell for it, only to realize after paying hefty membership fees that it was all a well-orchestrated scam.

“数字逮捕”操控型裸聊诈骗 Digital Arrest” Coercive Sextortion Scam
在印度班加罗尔，有两名女性接到了一通视频电话，对方自称是警察，说她们涉嫌犯罪，需要接受远程隔离调查。在对方的威胁和技术操控下，这两名女性居然一步步照做，甚至按照指令脱衣并持续录像，却完全不敢报警。
这种把技术操控、心理恐吓和羞辱结合在一起的新型骗局，被称为 “数字逮捕”（Digital Arrest），是近年来裸聊诈骗的极端升级版，受害者不仅钱可能被骗走，还面临巨大的心理伤害。
Two women in Bangalore received a video call from scammers posing as police officers, claiming they were involved in a crime and needed remote “quarantine investigation.” Under psychological pressure and technological manipulation, the victims followed orders to undress and remain on camera, without even reporting the incident. This extreme blend of technology, coercion, and humiliation is called “Digital Arrest,” reflecting a disturbing evolution of sextortion scams.
最早的诈骗案？
The earliest fraud case?
在古希腊的航海时代，有个船主叫赫格斯特拉托斯，他想玩一招保险骗局。那时候有种叫“船底贷款”的保险，船主可以用船做抵押借钱，如果船在航行中沉没，贷款就不用还了。
赫格斯特拉托斯就打起了歪主意，他计划在航行途中故意沉掉自己的船，然后赖掉贷款。但他的阴谋还没得逞，就被船员发现并揭发了。
这件事，也成了历史上最早有记载的保险诈骗案。
During the maritime era of ancient Greece, a shipowner named Hegestratos planned to commit fraud using 'bottomry loan insurance.' This insurance allowed him to borrow money using the ship as collateral, with the loan waived if the ship sank. Hegestratos planned to deliberately sink his ship during the voyage, but his plot was discovered by the crew before execution. This case became known as the earliest recorded insurance fraud in history.
每次只扣几毛钱？（世界上金额最小的网络诈骗）
Stealing Just a Few Cents? (The World’s Smallest Online Scam)
在印度那格浦尔一带，流行起一种几乎察觉不到的网络诈骗，被称作“隐形模式”盗刷。骗子不会一次性大额转账，而是每次只从你的银行账户扣几毛钱到几十块钱，这种小额盗刷很容易被忽略，连银行系统也不一定能马上发现。
他们通过这种方式，慢慢积少成多，长期下来能骗走巨额资金。更狡猾的是，诈骗团伙通常还会用中间人的账户转移赃款，让追查变得特别困难。
In Nagpur and other parts of India, a "stealth mode" scam is on the rise, where cyber criminals steal money by deducting very small amounts sometimes just a few cents or rupees from victims’ bank accounts. These tiny transactions often go unnoticed, allowing criminals to accumulate significant profits over time. The fraudsters use intermediary accounts to launder the stolen funds, making detection and investigation more difficult.
