Warning to scammers, don’t think that the ordinary citizens are just going to, take it, lying down!!! From the Newspapers, translated…
The twenty-seven year-old man, Yeou from Hsinbei City, zoomed in on the discussion board of N.T.U., the BBS, set up three separate user I.D.s, and claimed that he could help buy the items, or help with the depositing of credits, he’d managed to scam a total of over $135,000N.T. from six separate people he’d met online, the Hsinbei District Court prosecuted him based off of fraud.
The indictment papers pointed out, that back in June of 2013, Yeou started using the N.T.U.’s discussion board, that he has computers for sale, and scammed someone online for $7,200N.T., and was found guilty. This March, he’d set up the accounts of “Kevin2768”, “a126458”, “Iamirena”, three separate accounts for posting, and, he’d claimed to his buyers, that he can help the clients buy the Japanese goods, or given the buyers a discount.
From March to May of this year, at least six members of the online community had asked him to buy the air cleaner, the photo developing machines, the photo papers, professional cameras, along with an assortment of hi-tech products from Yeou, and Yeou asked them to wire the amounts to him first, and after he’d gotten the money from them, he’d, deleted their contact information.
There was one person who fell prey to the scams, Chang, who’d lost almost $60,000N.T.s, when Chang confirmed that he was, scammed, he’d set up an alternative identification, to counter Yeou’s bad behaviors, asked Yeou to put huge amounts of money into investments, and, claimed that the amount he was asking for is too high, that they must do the exchange in person, and when Yeou showed up, Chang was there, with the police to make an arrest.
At his interrogation by the police, Yeou admitted to never intended to help buy the items, that it was because he was in grad school, and needed some extra spending cash; after his own bank account was frozen, he’d used someone else’s bank accounts to scam. The D.A. believed, that the evidence was valid, and had asked the courts to impose a heavier sentence on him.
So, because he’d gotten a sweet taste of how much money he could get from scamming someone, that, was why he’d done it, over, over, and over again, but, in the end, he still couldn’t escape his own bad karma, he got caught.
