In Taipei, the Datan Police received a report from the China Trust Bank about a suspected investment fraud targeting a woman who was convinced to join a LINE group by a fake analyst promising personalized financial planning and stock trading guidance for a small initial payment, prompting the police to intervene and prevent a loss of NT$6,000. Despite warnings and advice from bank staff and police, the woman almost fell for the scam until the police confirmed the suspicious account history and successfully stopped the fraud attempt, emphasizing the importance of verifying investment opportunities and being cautious of promises of guaranteed profits.
