谎称已故总理李光耀孙女,马国女老千美国行骗20年,判监51个月

一名马来西亚女子谎称是我国已故总理李光耀孙女,在美国招摇撞骗,因此遭美国当局指控诈欺与盗用他人身份等罪名,被判监51个月。

根据美国媒体报道,该名女子为50岁马国华裔女子谢秀英(译音,Cheah Siew Im)。在20年期间,共盗用了6个人的身份,并讹称自己是美国前总统奥巴马的好友、已故新加坡建国总理李光耀孙女、NFL华盛顿红皮队 (Washington Redskins)班主薛达好友,及中情局人员等,说服职业运动员和企业高管相信她的谎言。

“她说服这些受害者,出钱投资尼日利亚油田和华盛顿职业运动队,但实际上这些钱被她用来买豪华汽车、整容和名牌手提包。”

一名受骗的体育经纪人表示,“如果我们知道他的真实身份、年龄与犯罪背景,我们绝不会相信他。”

据悉,谢秀英于2017年被美国当局逮捕后,今年10月4日认罪。根据法庭文件显示,2001年被告以假身份李秀红(译音,Sau Hoong Lee)入境美国,而被盗用的身份实质为吉隆坡66岁家庭主妇,但两人并不认识,该名妇女也不曾见过谢姓女子。

以神秘口才说服众多受害者掏钱

据马国媒体《星洲日报》报道,谢秀英以其优秀的口才,并冒用不同身份说服许多受害者。

2012年,谢姓女子以“特兰”(Tran)的名义于维吉尼亚州租屋,同时盗用了室友Cindy Lin 的身份申请信用卡。室友收到交通罚单与税局追税,但却表示自己并非当事人。2016年,当警方联络室友称她涉嫌超速时,才发现身份遭盗用。

此外,她还冒充自己是中情局人员,说服一名厨师到洛杉矶开办非营利组织。

她向受害者解释,因为自己的身份以及自己的父亲遭到绑架撕票,因此为了能够尽可能保护自己,所以在谷歌上找不到任何资料。同时他也自称自己能够透过家人动用新加坡政府的投资基金,最后导致该名厨师背上25万美元债务,申请破产。

美高官也被骗

受害者还包括政府官员,维吉尼亚州政府前助理商务秘书长李亨默(Jimmy Rhee)就是其中一位。他表示在保时捷展览会上认识谢秀英,她自称是红皮队老板薛达(Daniel Snyder)的好友。

有次谢秀英生病时,李亨默便前往探病,发现一个看似奥巴马签名的卡片花篮,让他误以为他是奥巴马好友,因此将30万美元给她投资尼日利亚石油项目。

一名拳击教练钟斯(Lawrence Jones)则控诉她讹称自己是李光耀孙女,因此说服他投资巫师队,结果是噩梦的开始。他在2015年李光耀去世时才发现没有谢姓女子的身影。

她一直以身份转换与优秀的口才欺骗不同的受害人,直至2017年落网,她当时假扮一名好友的妈妈,以1.4万美元月租,住在洛杉矶豪宅。

谢秀英的诈骗手段极高,受害者均认为谢秀英懂得“参透别人的思想”,以及他拥有让人难以抗拒的“神秘说服能力“。
