Fishy, fishy, fishy, come and take the BAIT!!! From the Front Page Sections, translated…
A man, Kao pretended to be a Korean-born Chinese, took the identity of a grad student, Wu, and found a job at an afterschool program, and had found a “godmother” who was one of the students’ mothers, and used the reason that he’d needed the cash to invest in Korean trust funds, committed credit card fraud of five million two hundred thousand N.T. in total; yesterday the Shihlin District Courts found Kao guilty and gave him two years in jail, on the money front, he was given an eight month sentence, and he was to remain in police custody for 120 days.
Kao (age 27), a university drop out, his parents divorced when he was very young, he doesn’t have a set residence. Starting in the beginning of 2011, he’d claimed to Yang that he was a Korean Chinese, that he’d owned a pet shop, but it was running very well, too busy, wanted her to invest in his ventures; Yang put up $810,000N.T. to invest, but didn’t get the bonus from the earnings, and realized that she’d been scammed. After Kao successfully scammed in Taipei, he’d gone to Kaohsiung to “sell the high-end goods”, claimed that he could buy up the name brand purses from the international fronts, to scam the tourists from China.
Kao had an active arrest warrant on him, because of the multitude of scams he was involved in, at the end of 2012, he’d, moved back to Danshui, stolen the identity of Wu, the graduate student, and posed as him and found a job as a teacher at an English afterschool program, he’d also found a student’s mother, and became her “godson”; and, not only did he manage to steal the $150,000N.T. worth of the afterschool program, he’d also, stolen the wages of the janitor as well.
This March, Kao was caught, and his “godmother” kept on, begging on his behalf, “he loved my child, is a good man”.
Two days ago, the woman rushed to the subprecinct that was processing Kao, told them, “He scammed me for five hundred twenty million dollars too!”, she’d told them, that Kao kept persuading her to put her money in the Korean mutual funds, said that a gain of ten to twenty percent would be a sure thing, she and her husband both believed him, put their house, their insurance plans up to get the money, but in the end, he’d never invested the money they’d given to him, but in the end, the woman still showed up in court, and begged the judge to give him a lighter sentence, “So he can begin a brand new life”.
Yeah, uh, you’ve GOT to be shitting me right? This DUDE, he’d scammed your money, and at the end, you still spoke on behalf, why is that? Wait, don’t tell me, it’s ‘cuz of that SOB story that he told you about how f***ed up his life had been, blah, blah, blah, right, and, you’d still taken the BAIT! How many times, do people NEED to get SCAMMED, to know better???
and this, is what that looks like…
