Sixty-three telecom fraud suspects, repatriated from Cambodia, arrive at an airport in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, June 26, 2019, under the escort of police. The suspects are part of a group of 73 people caught in a joint China-Cambodia police operation earlier this month. The suspects allegedly made phone calls to people on the Chinese mainland cheating victims out of money in dozens of cases involving more 5 million yuan ($730,000). (Photo: China News Service)

Police had to call in the husband of a woman to help persuade her to report con artists who had cheated her out of 3.11 million yuan ($444,000) after she repeatedly told police that losing the vast sum was no big deal.

The anti-fraud center of public security bureau in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu Province detected the woman had transferred large amounts of money to multiple suspicious accounts for multiple times, according to a video posted by Li Zhi Bo, a short video platform of Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation, on Tuesday.

The police called her to warn her that she was likely being scammed, but she continued to transfer hundreds of thousands of yuan to the accounts. 

The police called her again and received another nonchalant response.

"I'll call you when I find I'm being defrauded," the women is heard in the video telling police over the phone. "I really wonder why you keep calling me."

The police told the woman that public security organs have the obligation to file a criminal cases, but she argued that she has the right not to report her case.

After police showed the woman evidence of the fraud, she said being cheated out of several million yuan was no big deal and was still unwilling to cooperate with the police. 

"If I was scammed, then I was scammed," she said.

The woman's husband told police that he had no idea what his wife was involved in and he finally brought her to the police station and reported the crime. 

The case remains under investigation and there are no reports of arrests being made.

Many netizens sided with the police, saying citizens have an obligation to cooperate with police investigating criminal cases. 

"This is not only about protecting the woman, more importantly it is to prevent others from being scammed," another commented.
