The Union for Postal Workers is worried a scam that has conned New Zealanders out of millions of dollars is circulating for a fourth time.
邮政工人工会（Union for Postal Workers）担心，一个骗取新西兰人数百万纽币的骗局正在第四次流传。

The scam letters from Malaysia contain a travel promotion brochure and two scratchies – one of the scratchies is usually a “2nd prize” of between USD$150,000 (NZ$247,035) and US$250,000 (NZ$411,725).
来自马来西亚的诈骗信包含一本旅游促销手册和两封刮刮乐——其中一张刮刮乐通常是 150,000 美元（247,035 新西兰元）至 250,000 美元（411,725 新西兰元）之间的“二等奖”。

The prize money can alledgely be claimed by sending thousands of dollars to ‘cover the tax required’ by the government of Malaysia.
奖金可以通过发送数千美元来“支付马来西亚政府要求的税款”来领取。

John Maynard from the Postal Workers Union said the scam letters are easy to spot due to their distinctive colourful Malaysian stamps, a stick-on label using a person’s surname followed by their initials with no return address.
邮政工人工会的约翰·梅纳德 （John Maynard） 表示，这些诈骗信件很容易被发现，因为它们有独特的彩色马来西亚邮票，一个贴着标签，上面写着一个人的姓氏，后跟他们的首字母缩写，没有回信地址。

“They’re quite easy for us to identify, but people who think they’re the only ones who might have got this may be sucked in.”
“他们对我们来说很容易识别，但那些认为他们是唯一的人可能会被吸引。”

The police said similar mail frauds, in 2013, 2016 and 2019, fleeced New Zealanders of millions of dollars.
警方表示，在 2013 年、2016 年和 2019 年发生的类似邮件欺诈事件，新西兰人骗取了数百万纽币。

Maynard said he has direct experience with one of these previous scams, and, after being on the receiving end of one of the letters in 2019, decided to visit the address listed as the ‘Government of Malaysia’ during a trip to the country.
梅纳德说，他对之前的骗局有直接经验，在 2019 年收到其中一封信件后，他决定在访问该国期间访问被列为“马来西亚政府”的地址。

” went to the Kuala Lumpur office listed on what I knew was a scam ‘2nd prize’ … that I had received in the mail before travelling overseas,” he said.
“去了吉隆坡办公室，我知道这是一个骗局的’二等奖’……我在出国旅行前通过邮件收到的，“他说。

Unsurprisingly the address on the ‘prize’ letter was actually a park; the Malaysian Government’s Pension Fund building, which the fraudsters were using as a front., was just across the road.
不出所料，“奖品”信上的地址实际上是一个公园;欺诈者用作幌子的马来西亚政府养老基金大楼就在马路对面。

“I left my ‘2nd prize’ ticket with the Malaysian government representatives to alert them about their building being used as a front to scam millions of dollars from residents in Aotearoa, New Zealand,” he said.
“我把我的’二等奖’彩票留给了马来西亚政府代表，提醒他们他们的大楼被用作幌子，从新西兰 Aotearoa 的居民那里骗取数百万纽币，”他说。
