It costs 200,000 to pay a fine and get a license? Unlicensed cyclist woman urgently withdraws money, police tries to stop her

A 60-year-old woman surnamed Jiang in Taichung City recently borrowed NT$200,000 from her sister and went to the bank to withdraw the entire amount. She claimed that she wanted to pay a fine for riding a motorcycle without a license and regain her seized motorcycle license. However, she did not explain the use of the money clearly and even changed the withdrawal amount to at least NT$100,000. The banker noticed something was wrong and called the police urgently, fearing that she was being defrauded. Fortunately, she gave up the idea of ​​withdrawing the money and saved NT$200,000.

The He'an Police Station of the Sixth Branch received a report from the bank the day before yesterday, saying that people were suspected of being defrauded and were preparing to withdraw 200,000 yuan from the counter. The patrol officers immediately rushed to the scene. After learning that Jiang was reported by the police for driving without a license, her motorcycle license was returned to the supervisory authority. She recently borrowed 200,000 yuan from her sister, transferred the money to her own account, and planned to withdraw cash to pay related expenses.

However, further inquiries by the police revealed that Ms. Jiang only repeatedly stated that she wanted to pay the ticket and apply for a license, but could not explain exactly what fees were required. What is even more suspicious is that she originally insisted on receiving 200,000 yuan, but later changed her story and wanted to receive at least 100,000 yuan. Ten thousand yuan, the withdrawal amount is inconsistent, but they are unwilling to further disclose the reason. In addition, if the license is just suspended, the original license plate is usually returned after the expiration, and there is no need to pay the license fee again. If the traffic fine for riding a motorcycle without a license is added, there is an obvious difference.

The police officers and bank staff were worried that Ms. Jiang would fall into the trap of a fraud group. They patiently asked and persuaded her repeatedly, and reminded her with relevant fraud cases. After continuous communication with the police and the bank, Ms. Jiang finally gave up the idea of ​​withdrawing money to avoid possible property losses. The Sixth Precinct reminded the public that if they encounter questions related to tickets, license plates or other administrative procedures, they should check with the relevant competent authorities first, and do not believe unclear statements.

After being persuaded by the police and bank staff, Mrs. Jiang gave up the idea of ​​withdrawing money.
