Datong Precinct recently received a notification from the Minquan West Road branch of China Trust that a female citizen was suspected of being scammed and required police assistance. Despite bank personnel's continuous dissuasion, the citizen insisted on transferring NT$6,000 to a self-proclaimed famous analyst in a LINE group who promised tailored financial planning and stock trading guidance with guaranteed high profits. With patient explanations from the police and bank staff, the citizen ultimately abandoned the transfer, preventing a loss and potential further scamming. Datong Police Station reminded the public to be cautious of high-profit investments as they often come with high risks, emphasizing the danger of guaranteed profits and urging folks to avoid dubious investment channels or online links, especially those involving LINE. Citizens were advised to seek legitimate investment avenues on the Investment Trust and Consulting Association's official website and remember the three anti-fraud steps: 'listen, hang up, and call 165,' with the option to also dial 110 for police support in case of concerns.
