Mr. Lin, who is over 70 years old in Changhua, went to a special business place to spend money and revealed that he owned a large amount of land, which aroused the covetousness of a lady surnamed Wang inside. She lied about her daughter being injured in a car accident and had no money to pay for medical expenses to gain sympathy from Mr. Lin. She then set up mortgage loans, sold land and withdrew account deposits, defrauding a total of 4.9586 million yuan. The case was heard by the Changhua District Court and the princess was sentenced to 3 years and 2 months in prison.

During the prosecutor's investigation, the princess learned through another "Fang Xunke" that Lin was a "Tian Qiaozi" and his family owned a large amount of land and savings. The princess launched a "property seizing" plan. She first won Lin's heart, and then forged her national identity card named "Lin Baoling". She claimed to be widowed, her daughter had a car accident, and she had no money to pay for medical expenses. This aroused Lin's sympathy and induced Lin to provide information on his farmland, construction land, ancestral home and other real estate in Xinxing Section of Xizhou Township, apply for a mortgage loan, and tried to sell one of the construction sites for NT$4.658 million. Lin Nan's daughter discovered something was wrong, and the land transfer process was suspended. According to prosecutors' statistics, the princess defrauded Mr. Lin of a total of 4,958,600 yuan.

The crime was serious and he was sentenced to three years and two months in prison.

Open Questions

  • Does the princess have other accomplices?
  • Have the proceeds from the fraud been recovered?
  • Has Lin Nan received civil compensation?
