A scam group boldly left fake links in the comments section under celebrity videos, leading victims to believe without suspicion. Pretending to be a stock investment celebrity named 'Emily,' the group tricked victims into joining a LINE group called 'Changxing Investment' for more investment tips. As victims paid cash for purchasing subscription stocks, they grew suspicious and sought help from the police. Between May and June, nine suspects in the scam group were arrested, preventing a scam amounting to 5.09 million New Taiwan Dollars. The group's confident tactics were revealed under observation by the police, who then set up a task force to investigate further, leading to the successful dismantling of the scam ring.
