Scammers Impersonate Criminal Investigation Bureau to Extort Fines

Scammers are impersonating Taiwan's Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) by displaying fake pop-up web pages on adult sites, falsely accusing users of viewing child sexual exploitation content. These pages lock the user's device and demand immediate online payment of a hefty fine via credit card to avoid legal penalties. Police urge citizens not to panic, to close the page immediately, clear browsing history, and never provide personal or credit card information.
