The targets are of all socioeconomic statuses, all levels of, education, even those who’d, been around the world and back, and it’s all because the victims, didn’t, QUESTION anything! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
A famed female tourist author awhile back, received the calls, claimed that she was involved in a kidnapping, that she needed to turn over her bank account information to the police for the investigations, and she believed it, and, handed out her bank account savings books, ATM card, her passport, and nearly seven million dollars N.T.’s worth of her assets, and the police received a call and started chasing the leads, and, they caught the driver, Kao recently, and they’re, currently, chasing the lead upstream, to find out who is in charge of this scam artist ring.
Based off of understanding, the 35-year-old writer, Kuo published some tour guides, using her unique perspectives, shared her traveling experiences in the country, is quite famous in the local traveling atmosphere.
In July, Kuo received the calls from the scam artists, the individual told her that someone had hacked into her bank accounts, that her account was used in a kidnapping case, that she needed to hand over her bank account and other personal information to the police to investigate, the scam artist ring in order to get Kuo to trust them, made up bullshitting reasons of how her personal data was leaked out, wanted her to spend over four million dollars to buy the gold bricks, and to imprint her finger print on the package, and handing it off at their specified location to the investigators.
Kuo believed them, and immediately went to the banks to make the withdrawals, she’d made ten withdrawals in a month, and, took the amounts to the specified locations by the scammers, public restrooms, small alleys, and the drivers took the packages, and she’d lost a total of over $6.8 million N.T.s altogether, later Kuo found something quite odd, and called the police.
The police zoomed in on the driver responsible for picking up the cash drop, a man in his twenties, Kao, and they’d gone with a search warrant to Taoyuan to arrest him recently, and they accidentally discovered that he, his older brother and his mother were all abusing drugs, found traces of amphetamine in their residence, and Kao’s older brother had an active arrest warrant on theft and burglary charges, the police, after interrogating all three, charged them with fraud, and illegal substances, sent to the D.A.’s Offices.
And so, this is just, how simply any of us, can fall victim, to these, scam artists, and these are highly educated, worldly individuals too, because this woman didn’t question when she got that very first call.
