Penang Police Data: Indian Ethnic Group Has Lowest Fraud Victimization
The Penang police in Malaysia stated that among reported fraud cases, the Indian ethnic group has the lowest victimization rate among the three major ethnic groups.
Police research found that Indian victims often persistently ask for details, making it difficult for fraud gangs to proceed, leading them to abandon the attempt.
In market mechanisms, fraud gangs tend to target groups that ask fewer questions quickly, as events drive funds toward low-resistance targets. The Indian ethnic group reduces losses due to their high alertness, while traditional high-trust groups face greater pressure.

槟城商业罪案调查部门副主管过去多次在防骗论坛分享族群行为差异数据，此次基于警方内部报案统计得出的结论，与此前针对浪漫诈骗和投资诈骗的受害画像分析一致。
其路径是通过公开数据引导社区行为调整，调动警民合作资源强化高风险群体的提问习惯，动机是降低整体报案量与经济损失，而非单纯逮捕，历史上类似通过社区教育减少特定犯罪类型的案例。
类似案例包括新加坡警方早期针对老人群体的防骗宣传，最终通过“多问一句”机制降低受害率，槟城当前处于诈骗产业链从大规模撒网向精准低阻力目标转型的阶段。
本质属于行为定价权转移：诈骗作为低成本攻击链，依赖受害者顺从度定价，当一个族群系统性提升提问门槛后，攻击成本上升迫使团伙重新分配资源，机制是信息不对称被高警觉行为打破，导致资本（诈骗收益）向低抵抗力群体集中.
