劳东燕：差点上当的学术骗局

骗子真是无所不在，提醒大家注意，尤其是学术圈的学者。

我在2025年5月30日收到一封自称是联合国经济与社会理事会工作人员的英文邮件，邀请我参加联合国经济与社会理事会年度会议。

因邮件中并未提到支付费用的问题，所以我在将信将疑之余回复了邮件。后来我查了一下，发现会议本身真实存在，确实是在7月14日至23日之间在纽约举行。这让我几乎就要相信邮件的邀请是真的了。

在第二次回复邮件后，对方寄来邀请函与表格，表格其中一项是要填宾馆的预订号。这才知道，我需要预付住宿费，才能得到预定号。

在我发第三封邮件后，对方迅速回复了我，预付住宿费的方式，竟然不是发过来信用卡的支付链接，而是直接以国际汇款的方式汇到私人账号。

前面收到邮件与邀请函，我从将信将疑到差点相信，并给了我的个人信息。在此过程中，我问了一位在纽约工作的朋友，她强烈建议我不要相信，因为邮件不是发自联合国官方的邮箱地址。

随后，在收到以国际汇款方式预付住宿费用的邮件后，我已基本确定系骗子所为。在朋友的建议下，我发了邮件到联合国官方的邮箱进行举报。

如果收到类似的邮件，请不要提供个人信息，谨防被骗。我前面有些大意，提供了地址、电话等信息。确实没想到，有人会有伪造联合国秘书长的签名，以联合国会议邀请的名义实施诈骗的。

骗子越来越高明，所以不要动辄指责被害人愚蠢或贪婪，搞被害人有错论那一套。这只会导致很多人被骗以后不敢吱声，从而导致更多的人受骗上当。

以下，是我5月30日收到的邮件：

复盘这起以联合国会议邀请的名义进行的诈骗，前期我由将信将疑转变为有些相信，主要是这样一些因素：

1. 我之前没有接触过联合国的相关机构，不清楚他们的做事流程，也不知道他们官方邮箱的地址。

2. 骗子邮件中所附网页打开后是联合国的网站，会议信息也是真实的。由于海外网站打开的速度比较慢，我没有花时间去细致地进一步查看相关信息。

3. 邮件的发件人Ms.Soo Hyun Kim，我在微信中搜索了一下，以她的名字和联合国为关键词，发现有两篇中文的文章提到这个人，身份分别是联合国教科文组织与和裁军有关的部门的工作人员。当时我下意识地认为，这个人她在联合国内部换工作职位了。

4. 邮件中并没有直接提到要付费的问题。

在过程中，我有疑虑的地方在于：

1.邮件来得突兀，刚收到时我第一次回复邮件问对方，是谁推荐我参加这个会议，对方没有回答我的问题，而是让我与秘书处联系。

2. 昨天我是北京时间中午将近一点时回复的第二封邮件，结果发现北京时间下午四点就收到回邮。这让我有些诧异，照说美国东部时间正是凌晨，怎么会有工作人员在凌晨处理邮件。

3. 这两个疑虑让我决定，需要问一下在纽约工作的朋友，她看了后认为大概率是欺诈邮件。

4. 随后我发的第三封涉及预订宾馆环节的邮件也马上收到回复，对方先是让我在四种房型中选一种，接下来发给我国际汇款的账号信息。这下我就确定对方是诈骗分子了。

不过我还是有些奇怪，这么大费周章，就是为了骗取住宿费？住宿费的总额，折算下来是2万多人民币。
