In Taichung, Taiwan, a retired woman was a victim of an online investment scam in February, losing over 12 million and her property. The Criminal Investigation Bureau warns against believing high-profit investment messages from online ads and groups, emphasizing that they are scams. The fraudsters led the woman to join a LINE investment group, tricked her into downloading a fake investment app, and coerced her to transfer millions; when she tried to withdraw, they made her mortgage her property to a private lending company. After realizing the scam, she reported to the police. The Bureau advises the public to be cautious, use authorized financial institutions, and consult official channels for investment opportunities to protect their interests.
