上周110接警量比前周上升2.8%,刑事案件發案与前周持平,火災事故比前周下降170%。
Last Week, the 110 (China's equivalent of 911 emergency number) call history shows a 2.8% rise from prevous week. Number of criminal activities reported held steady compared to previous week. Fire reports are down 170% from previous week. 

近日,警方接報以銷售“英國TVI旅游快車公司”旅游卡為名的詐騙案件。
In recent days, police are receiving reports of fraud involving selling "TVI Express" travel cards. 

据初步調查,今年6月份以來,少數群眾被騙加入以銷售“英國TVI旅游 快車公司”旅游卡為名的非法傳銷組織,被騙子以購卡返利為名騙走現金30余万元。
Based on preliminary investigation, since June of this year (2009), some have been tricked into joining this illegal marketing organization, based on selling "TVI Express" travel card. Scammers have defrauded victims out of over 300,000 RMB (about $44000 USD) claiming that they can obtain huge profits from buying these membership cards. 

現警方正在全力偵查,同時提醒廣大市民,傳銷是違法行為,任何“一夜暴 富”式的承諾都是犯罪分子的“噱頭”,一定要擦亮眼睛提高警惕。
Police is on the case, and reminds all citizens: pyramid scheme is ILLEGAL. Any sort of overnight-riches promise is merely propaganda by these scammers. Please clear your eyes and be careful out there.
