在美國被捕的一名來自中國大陸的偷渡客，涉嫌詐欺犯罪。這名32歲的薛姓男子來自中國福州，於2023年9月非法入境加利福尼亞州。因未提供合法文件而被視為偷渡客。他在2023年12月5日在俄亥俄州被捕，被指控涉嫌偷竊和偽造禮品卡。當時，警方在舉辦慈善活動，有人發現薛姓男子正在沃爾瑪超市竊取未開封的禮品卡，並在他的車上發現數百張禮品卡。

薛姓男子的手法是先偷走未拆封的禮品卡，然後竄改卡片資料後再放回。當消費者在不知情的情況下購買並進行儲值時，錢就會轉到詐騙份子的帳戶。他面臨309項罪名，預計於2024年1月30日受審。

A Chinese stowaway, suspected of committing fraud, has been arrested in the United States. The 32-year-old man surnamed Xue, hailing from Fuzhou, China, illegally entered California in September 2023. Due to the absence of proper documentation, he was considered an illegal immigrant. He was arrested on December 5, 2023, in Ohio, facing charges of theft and counterfeiting gift cards. At the time of the arrest, authorities, conducting a charity event, discovered Xue stealing unopened gift cards from a Walmart, and several hundred gift cards were found in his car.

Xue's modus operandi involved stealing unopened gift cards, altering the card information, and then returning them. When unsuspecting consumers purchased and loaded the cards without knowledge, the money would be transferred to the fraudster's account. He faces 309 charges and is scheduled to appear in court on January 30, 2024.
