Preying on women’s need for ROMANCE, and ladies, because you’re, THAT desperate, that is why, you get, SCAMMED!!! From the Front Page Sections, translated…
The scammers falsified themselves as men who worked in the banking industries, on a dating site, using the headshots of an online hottie, used the calls of needing money to invest, to trick women from China. A woman from China was scammed in the amount of $2.3 million N.T.’s, she’d come to report the crimes in Taiwan, the Detective Agency searched into the matter, and found eleven members of the scam ring here, and, as it estimated up to now, there had already been, at least, a dozen victims already.
The police investigated, that the ring rented two separate locations in Beitun District in Taichung, setting up the operating centers, and the money laundering units. In April, the members used the friendship app, found a woman from China, Lin (age 28), the member of the scam ring claimed himself as a consultant for a certain stock exchange company, and, used a photo he’d taken off online of someone famous, to attract the woman.
The individuals contacted through WeChat, the scam artist had shown care and attention to Lin every single day, waited until she’d fallen in love, then, he’d told her that he was having problems in making his sales quota, that he was, pressured by his superiors, that he needed her help to sign up for investment opportunities. The victim felt bad for the man, and, wired money into the dummy Chinese accounts, she’d lost a total of $519,000RMB, roughly $2.3 million N.T.s.

The suspect after being caught, claimed that he’d set up a stock account on Lin’s behalf, and, sent the falsified documentations to prove to her, to gain her trust, after he’d gotten her cash, he’d, cut off all contact with her; Lin realized she’d been, scammed, and, reported it to the local police in China, and, she’d gone online, and found many more victims like herself, some of whom suggested her to report the incident to police overseas, last month, she’d arrived here personally, to report it.
The international, electronic crimes unit of the Detective Agency chased the leads, and on the seventeenth of this month, they’d, zoomed in on the quarter, arrested seven men, on the 23rd, they’d, gone to bust the money laundering units, and the suspects’ home, took in Ma (age 23), Guan (age 29), and two other women, Chen, and, confiscated a total of $29,150,000N.T. in cash.
The police found, that Ma and Guan are in charge of the mechanic and money laundering units, and they’d, estimated, that there were, about ten women from China who were, scammed, and, they’d lost anywhere from ten thousand to a hundred thousand dollars each; the two men denied having scammed, claimed that they’d taken out the loans from a friend, but, couldn’t tell the police where exactly the money came from, and, some of the suspects admitted to conducting the scams. After the police took the computers, the cell phones, and the ledger into evidence, they’d looked closely, and found that the suspects drove Mercedes to launder the money, and there was the pepper sprays in the cars, and the police charged all male suspects with fraud, and laws against money laundering, the two females were sent home.
That, is why women are so easily targeted, because they have this desperate need for L-O-V-E, and because they’re getting older, and becoming MORE desperate, that, is why, they’re, easy targets, and, the scam artists are zooming in on these lonely, desperate women, because they’re, too easy, and this will keep on, happening in the world.
