More than 350 HIV/AIDS patients from across China have received scam calls as of Monday evening and said their personal information has been leaked, according to a major AIDS support group in China.
The patients come from all 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China, and they have shared their experiences with BHL China League, an online interactive platform for HIV/AIDS patients based in Beijing, according to Bai Hua, chief of the league.
"The actual number of patients affected by the privacy leak and getting scam calls may be much higher than what we have received," he said.
