A meat processor company in Taichung that’s been operating for many years worked with the Paraguayan provider company for many years on end, there was a scam artist ring that’s hacked into the Paraguayan business information sect, and, “stayed hidden” in the e-mail systems for a year, then, e-mailed the meat processing company here, to change the account number for the transferred, and, they’d, managed to scam over $5.4 million N.T.s worth of funds from the meat processing company.
The police investigated and found, that the security breach was from the Paraguayan suppliers, the scam ring sued the same account name, a similar e-mail address, and, used the wordings of the Paraguayan providers, and contacted and received e-mails from the company here eight, or nine times total, including the greetings for New Year’s, and sending out the special promotional items for sale too.
The police pointed out, that the meat processing company in Taichung had worked with the Paraguayan providers for over three years to date, and the scam artists had been, staying low between the e-mail contacts about a year ago, and not made its first move, to reduce the guard of the victims, to wait for a better time, to strike.
Last month on the 22nd, the scam artist group seemed to have found out, that the companies are about to have business, and, masked themselves up as the providers, and changed the account information for the wires, and, limited the dates too, the meat processing company wired a total of $175,000U.S., roughly around $5.4 million N.T.s.
The business owners here received the message from the Paraguayan providers, that they’d “not received the amount” and was shocked to realize, and as they’d, sorted through the e-mailed messages, they’d found, that someone had, falsified as the providers and managed to scam the money away. Although right after the meat processing company realized this they’d, immediately notified the police, but, it’d been a long time since the wire’s been made, and it was to a foreign account, it became, hard, for the police to trace.
here’s what’s, on the “other end”…photo found online…
And, it would be, irregular, if this meat processing company here, started questioning the validity of the account information, and it’s because of the lack of guards, that was why, the business was, scammed, and it’d, lost money!
