据北京广播电视台科教频道《法治进行时》10月4日报道，近日，北京警方接到男子报警，称其哥哥赵某来京后失联3个月，家人十分担忧，怀疑遭遇意外。A man who vanished for three months after falling for an online scam has been found in Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Beijing police said.
民警调查发现，赵某轻信网络高额中奖9000多万的骗局，专程前往北京想要兑奖，赵某到达北京后表示“没有见到人，路费也花完了”。民警曾帮他安排好从北京西站出发的返乡行程，不料赵某在车站再次脱离监控，踪迹全无。
The man's brother reported him missing after he traveled to the capital on the strength of an online claim that he had won more than 90 million yuan. After arriving, he failed to meet the supposed contact and ran out of travel money.
Officers arranged his trip home from Beijing West Railway Station, but he slipped away again.
顺着线索追查，民警找到一名中介，得知对方将赵某介绍到内蒙古赤峰放羊。专案组跨越北京、内蒙古两地追查，赶到赤峰仅找到赵某遗落的身份证。民警走访百余名牧民群众，驱车千余公里，最终在翁牛特旗找到了赵某。Investigators later learned from an intermediary that the man, surnamed Zhao, had been introduced to herd sheep in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia autonomous region. A special team travelled to Chifeng and recovered only his ID card. They interviewed over 100 herders and drove more than 1,000 km before tracking him to Ongniud Banner.原来，赵某毫无放羊经验，途中独自离开，不慎丢失手机，迷失方向，饿晕在路边，被好心村民救下收留，留在当地务农，并非遭遇不测。失联三个月，一场虚惊。
With no sheep-herding experience, he had wandered off, lost his phone, become disoriented and collapsed from hunger. A kind villager rescued him and took him in. He stayed and worked in local farming.警方提醒：切勿轻信网络高额中奖骗局，在外遇到困难，及时向民警求助。Officers have now confirmed Zhao is safe and has been escorted back to his family.
Police have reminded the public not to trust online high-value prize scams and to seek help from officers promptly when in trouble.
