The fraud syndicate impersonated household registration and telecommunications personnel to defraud two people and demanded NT$30,000 each. Fortunately, they got help in time to save their deposits.

The two victims received phone calls from fake household registration and fake telecommunications personnel yesterday. The scammers used the same tactics to demand NT$30,000 from each case. Fortunately, they went to the police station in time to seek verification. (provided by the public)

The fraud group did not even change the script, and defrauded two people who did not know each other in the same morning. Yesterday, two people received threatening calls from fake household registration offices and telecom operators. The other party used the names involved in the case and demanded NT$30,000. Fortunately, the two rushed to the police station for help before remitting the money and successfully kept their deposits.

Yesterday morning, a man surnamed Cui and a man surnamed Wu each received phone calls from fake public officials at their homes. The fraudster claimed to be an employee of the Household Registration Office of Xinxing District, Kaohsiung City and a Chunghwa Telecom store. They claimed that their IDs had been used by criminals to apply for household registration transcripts or prepaid card numbers. They then threatened that these numbers were involved in serious criminal cases and immediately transferred the calls to fake police officers.

The fake police officer on the other end of the phone immediately asked Cui Nan and Wu Nan to cooperate in supervising their bank accounts and each remit 30,000 yuan to clear themselves. In order to prevent the victim from asking for help from the outside world, the fraud group even used the name of "investigation confidentiality" and sternly warned the two that they must not tell their family members about the contents of the call. They even threatened that if they did not comply, the prosecutor would immediately arrest them in accordance with the law, in an attempt to use fear to force the two to submit.

Fortunately, although Cui Nan and Wu Nan were deeply disturbed, they remained vigilant and went to Tainan City Anzhong Police Station in the morning to investigate. After receiving the report, the on-duty police officers Chen Zhengwei and Wu Guanying immediately calmed the two people's emotions and carefully reviewed the call information. They clearly pointed out that this was a typical method of pretending to be a public agency, and discouraged the two from sending money. They successfully saved the two people's hard-earned savings of 60,000 yuan.
