Scam Callers Tricked 15-Year-Olds to Hand over $110,000
.
Summary:
Tricked by scam callers who told them they were guilty of money laundering in China and must pay a deposit on their investigation, two 15-year-olds stole from their homes cash and jewellery, worth about $110,000 in total, and gave them to a woman in Mongkok. Fortunately for the young victims, the police used the chat records left in their mobile phones and managed to arrest the deposit collector.

Language Enhancement:
Launder (v.)(洗)
同學可能見過 laundry (n.)「待洗衣物」一字,而 launder 就是它的動詞型態,與 wash (v.)「洗」基本上同義,意思均是把骯髒的東西洗乾淨。Money laundering「洗黑錢」,是指把非法得來(骯髒)的錢變成合法(乾淨),也配合「洗」予人的印象。洗黑錢在不少國家中屬嚴重罪行。
e.g. I always like the smell of freshly laundered clothes.
e.g. It is said that North Korea is secretly laundering money through bank accounts in Hong Kong.
