  The one that particularly stuck with me is phonecalls from embassy numbers to people I know in Canada, claiming that I'm trying to enter China and that they would need to confirm details for me to gain entry. AFAIK this is an actual thing that they do for some entrants. Since most people don't record phonecalls, it's easy to deny this sort of thing; and since it's similar to an official activity of the government there, I suspect for a lot of people it goes unnoticed, if it is more common. I've never visited the PRC, and I have no intention of ever visiting it as long as it is run by the party. Chinese students here are under watch as well, and it's not all that subtle. You should read some of the things that go on in North American schools.

    Sounds like a fishing scam

    It's a simple scam. There is one about DHL as well you don't have to read so much into every little thing.

      I've received the "DHL" one before, where they read you off a tracking code in Mandarin hoping you'll call back and tell them you don't speak it, this is not that. You can think what you want, but this is not that.
