Alert bank staff at Cathay United Bank in Taichung, Taiwan, prevented a woman surnamed You, born in 1979, from falling for an investment scam involving withdrawing 350,000 TWD for virtual currency investment. Initially claiming to withdraw the money for employee salaries, You revealed under the staff's questioning that it was for investing in virtual currency. Promptly notified, the police intervened to educate and dissuade You from transferring the funds for verification, ultimately thwarting the fraud and saving her 350,000 TWD. The incident serves as a cautionary tale against dubious investment schemes and the importance of seeking legitimate investment channels.
