In Taichung, Taiwan, individuals fell victim to scams where they were tricked into investing in fake stock groups or virtual currencies, losing millions of dollars. Police were able to catch the scammers by setting traps with the victims and arresting them on charges of fraud and money laundering. One con artist even posed as a person in need of financial assistance and attempted to have a person send their ATM card and passbook through the mail, but was stopped by alert bank staff who then informed the police. Authorities advise the public to be cautious and seek help from legitimate channels when facing financial difficulties.
