Suspected of Falsifying the Receipts from U.S. and Hong Kong, to Get the Victims to Trust Him, One of the Victims Bought a Knock-
Off of a Famous Ring for His Girlfriend, Not Expecting it to be Fake.
Kuo in Taichung with His Wife, Two Years Ago, Used the Fans Pages on FB, Streamed Live the Video Footages, They Were Suspected of Selling Knock-Offs of Name-Brand Items and Sportswear, the Police Confiscated 3,000 Supposed Level A Knock-Offs, and Found that the Couple Was Living in the Seventh Development High-End Apartment Complex, Driving a BMW, After the D.A. Interrogated Them, the Husband and Wife Were Taken into Custody with the Bails Set at $200,000N.T. and $100,000N.T. Respectively, and, the D.A. Went After the Earnings from Their Selling the Knock-Offs, and the Judge Warranted the Freezing Up of Their Bank Accounts.
A male victim was called by the police to make a statement, he’d stated to the officers that he’d bought a name-brand ring of over $10,000N.T. as his girlfriend’s birthday present, they both believed that it was real, and cherished the item so, but the officers called and notified that what they bought was fake, it was, truly difficult, for him to accept it.
The Police Squad investigated, that Kuo (age 40), and his wife, Chiao (age 36) were taken into custody for selling knock-off brand name couture, and after online shopping and FB were popularized, the couple started changing their methods, in 2015, they started setting up a brand name FB fans page, they’d sold an assortment of name brand class A knock-offs. Hired eight workers and set up the dummy accounts, and operated over 20 FB Fans pages, and attracted the buyers using “buy one get one free”, “at wholesale prices”, and sold the knock-offs at 75-percent of the real items.
Last month on the 18th, the police started scanning the areas, and confiscated the laptops, cell phones, bank books, cash, along with over 3,000 knock-off items; the police accused, that Kuo was suspected of forging the receipts from U.S., Hong Kong, the warranty cards, to get the trust from the consumers. The police estimated that in the two years, there are, over ten thousand members of the public who’d bought the knock-off products.
The officers investigated, that in the two years, Kuo and his accomplices made over $70 million N.T. in profit; the police also found, that Kuo drove a BMW, lived in the high-end multi-million dollar estates in west Xitun in Taichung, which was registered under his name; the police in order to assure that they can get him to pay back all of his illegally earned profits, they’d had the Taichung District Court freeze up Kuo’s bank accounts and properties.
The D.A. and police also told, that in order to evade arrest, Kuo had switched the warehouses every three months, and changed his studio every six month, making their investigation more difficult. But Kuo claimed, that everything he’d sold was based off of the orders of the employer in China, he’d not sold them on his own.
Who’s gonna believe that, huh? You’d made a TON of profits, cheating people, and, this still just showed, how easily it is, to fall prey, like all the victims here, they believed, that they could get the name-brand items for a very discounted price, without knowing, that everything has a cost, and, if something seemed too good to be true, then, it probably is, so, don’t fall for it, the rest of you!!!
