A 64-year-old man in Taichung, Taiwan, almost fell into an investment scam after joining a stock trading group where a female netizen persuaded him to invest and withdraw 350,000 NT dollars from his insurance policy, claiming it was for surgery. The insurance manager sensed something was wrong and contacted the police, who intervened before the man could be scammed. With the recent boom in the stock market, scammers are exploiting the opportunity to lure in unsuspecting victims through fraudulent investment schemes.
