On June 17, 2024, at 3:51 am, officers from the Sanchong Police Station in New Taipei City, Taiwan, noticed a woman's phone displaying an investment advisory company while patrolling at a convenience store ATM. They discreetly followed the 69-year-old woman to a park where she was meeting a 20-year-old man, suspecting potential financial fraud. The police chief warned against investment scams and urged the public to verify online information, with this case involving the woman being lured by a fraudulent group through a stock discussion group and false promises of successful investments. Luckily, the vigilant officers intervened before the woman handed over NT$1.7 million to the scam group, leading to the arrest of the suspect on fraud charges.
