In Changhua County, an elderly farmer named Xu was prevented from being scammed by an investment fraud group after developing an online romantic relationship with a woman claiming to be a 'financial management specialist.' Encouraged by her, he went to a bank to open an account and transfer 100,000 NTD for investment. Bank staff recognized the suspicious activity and alerted the police in time to stop the scam. It took over an hour of persuasion for Xu to realize he was being deceived and ultimately decided not to proceed with the transfer, thanks to the police intervention.
