Because it’s, easy money, and, because they’d needed people from internationally who are, “expandable”??? From the Front Page Sections, translated…
The police department of Taichung had found the first of foreigners who’d come to Taiwan to work as a driver for a scam artist ring, the scam rings sent out the enticing deals, to attract foreigners who loved playing online games to Taiwan to work as drivers for the scam rings, a Malaysian man, Liu came to Taiwan to join in the scam artist ring, but, the second day after he’d withdrawn $20,000N.T. of stolen cash, he was arrested by the police, and charged with fraud.
The police found, that the Department of Police Forces recently set up a specialty group, catching the drivers, after the scam groups’ drivers were arrested by the dozens, they’d needed more people, and they’d started searching for people to work from the online games, zoomed in on those who enjoyed playing the online games, and needed quick cash, and the requirements were that the individual must know how to key using Chinese, and, the members of the scam rings started soliciting people online to work as drivers from the private messages of the online games.
scams had become, an INTERNATIONAL “affair” here, like this??? Image found online…
The Taichung Detective Squad on March 20th, at an ATM next to a shopping mall, arrested Liu (age 24). The police found, that the scam rings would use, “the more you withdraw, the more you’ll make” to entice these younger generation of inexperienced people to work as drivers. Liu originally sold durian in Malaysia, and only made about $40,000N.T. locally, considered well-to-do locally at his home country. but he’d gotten addicted to playing online games, he’d run out of money, and, the scam artists found him on an online game, and, in a private chat, learned he was a foreigner, and, offered him a special to attract him to come to Taiwan.
The scam artist ring first gave out a free airfare, and set up the rule, that after the drivers made “the first bucket of gold”, and get the cash of a million, they’ll give him a return ticket back home, and, they would get a three-percent bonus from the stolen cash withdrawals they’d made, Liu was enticed, came to Taiwan on March 19th.
In order to test him, the scam ring handed him an ATM card, and told him to withdraw $20,000N.T. at an ATM in the malls. But, the very next day after Liu got the money out of the ATM, he was arrested by the police department in Taichung.
He’d started by saying, “I’m visiting here as a tourist”, the officers told him, that the police here will protect him, and threatened him, “Don’t think that the police in Taiwan are dummies”, until he was cuffed, did Liu finally told the truth about how he’d come to Taiwan, and started working for the scam artist ring, and told the police he was willing to work with them to help with the investigations.
This is how easily they all fall! Because the scam artist rings gave out the incentives of free airfare to here, and, they’d given this man a little “sweet”, to get him hooked, and, on his first try to scam, he got caught, and, what do these Taiwanese scam artists lose? NOTHING, because these drivers are international, and, very expandable to them!
