The emerging new types of drugs are being packaged with false claims of stress relief and weight loss, leading to unintentional consumption by community children and adults and causing serious physical and mental harm. In Taipei, the top 5 fraud methods analyzed by the Taipei City Government Police Bureau in May 2024 are related to installment payment scams, lottery notifications, fake online shopping, LINE account theft, and internet fraud, targeting victims primarily aged between 20-59. To address the issue, the Wanhua District's community resources unit organizes the 'Community Child Protection and Parental Education Against Drugs and Frauds' event in Taipei's Peace and Grass Park, featuring educational activities, games, and performances to enhance public awareness and self-protection skills against drug abuse and fraud, especially among youths and parents, during the summer season.
