This country is known, for its, SCAM ARTISTS, and it’s still, NOT a good reputation! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The scam artist ring led by Liu setup a unit in Hengchun, Pingdong, falsified as the public safety officers from China, zoomed in on the Chinese people living in Singapore, falsely claimed to the victims that they are involved in international money laundering, and needed to have their bank accounts under supervision to scam; the Criminal Investigations Bureau’s Southern Unit awhile ago found the location of the unit, Liu, the man who’d put up the money to set up the scams, a total of twenty perpetrators, they were all charged with fraud, organized crimes and other charges, sent to the district attorney’s office. The district attorneys asked the courts to have them taken into custody, and the custody of five other along with Liu was mandated by the judge.
Currently, the investigations found, that the targets were mostly Chinese students studying abroad in Singapore, and one of the victims lost 200,000RMBs (roughly $850,000N.T.s), the international unit of the Criminal Investigative Bureau contacted the victims, and took their statements, the case is currently being investigated by Taiwanese, and Singaporean police jointly right now.
The police investigated, that Liu was the man who put up the money to set up the mechanical unit for the scams, that he’d rented a property in Hengchun to use it as the unit, he’d hired Hsu and others, to collect the personal information illegally, then, falsified as the public security of China, or bank personnel, claimed to the Chinese students or Chinese nationals that they’d owed credit card debts, or that their accounts had been used by the money laundering rings, that they need to give out the personal information on their bank accounts, and to wire the money to get the matter resolved.
The Eighth unit of the Criminal Investigative Bureau chased the leads for over half a year, awhile ago, they’d found, that the group was moving into a local residence that’s, currently applying to become a bed and breakfast, the bureau had the police from Pingdong, and Kaohsiung to break the door down, to make the arrests of all fourteen members, confiscated a total of $440,000N.T. cash, the playbook, along with many cell phones, iPads, laptops in as evidence, then, they’d followed the leads, and, arrested six others including Liu.
After the twenty men were interrogated at the local police precinct, they were sent to the Pingdong D.A.’s office for processing, Liu, who’s put up the money to set up this scam ring, the five other key members who’d operated the mechanical units including Hsu were mandated to get placed into police custody.
The police said, because both in Singapore and Taiwan, the language used was Chinese, that’s why the scam rings had, targeted those in Singapore; currently, there are, confirmed drivers who are working to pick up the drop cash in Singapore right now, the two countries are working together, to catch them currently.
And so, this country, became, a WARMBED for scam artists, and, a lot of these scam artists are preying on people’s fears, falsifying themselves as bank official, district attorneys, etc., etc., etc., and because people are afraid of getting into trouble, having their accounts frozen, going bankrupt, that’s why, they are easily, victimized.
