The fraud syndicate repeatedly sent drivers to "give away people's heads" to defraud a 70-year-old Wu woman of NT$2 million.

Last year, a 70-year-old woman surnamed Wu from Changhua County encountered "fake love and real money fraud". She was defrauded four times and lost about 2 million yuan. The fraud syndicate knew that Wu's wife had not yet been squeezed out, so they continued to defraud her in January this year. Wu's wife finally woke up and called the police. The police arrested a retired female civil servant surnamed Ni during the interview. Unexpectedly, the fraud group continued to send riders and servants to defraud Wu's wife, and they lost three riders in a month before stopping. The police analyzed that the reasons why the fraud group repeatedly sent riders to "send death" were due to the "breakpoint mechanism" and "sheep obsession", and believed that riders are consumables that can be sacrificed and replaced at any time.

The Changhua County police officer who investigated the case said that Ms. Wu was single and her children were out of town. Her biggest hobby was scrolling on her mobile phone. Last year, she accidentally fell into the old scam of "war medics" (also known as war field lovers), which is also commonly known as "fake dating (fake love) and real money fraud." After being defrauded four times in person, the fraudster knew that Ms. Wu still had savings and decided to continue to "scam" her.

In January of this year, the scam group pretended to be a "United Nations military doctor" and sent messages of concern in the morning and evening, and then asked to borrow money. Wu's wife reported it to the police and confirmed that it was a scam. When she handed over 180,000 yuan in person on January 30, the police arrested a retired civil servant named Ni. Unexpectedly, the scam group still took the initiative to contact Wu's wife. On February 10, after paying NT$400,000 in person, the police arrested the male driver surnamed Huang.

Both riders were detained, but the scammers did not stop. On February 28, Wu's wife was still asked to pay NT$60,000 in person, and the police arrested Mrs. Li, who was in her 60s. Within a month, three riders were arrested one after another, and the scammers stopped.

One is arrested and the other is sent. Three people were arrested in one month.

Why do scammers keep sending riders to kill people? Senior police officers and police officer surnamed Cai, who is responsible for anti-fraud, have determined that "breaking points" are designed for each step of the fraud group. The three parties responsible for "deceiving people", "sending drivers" and "collecting stolen money" are independent of each other. Therefore, the front-end driver was arrested and detained, while the back-end continued to send people to withdraw money.

Another reason is the "fat sheep obsession." Police officer surnamed Cai said that the scammers think the victim is easy to deceive, so they will label them as "fat sheep." Even if the victim notices something strange, the scammers will continue to pester them, use a "new trick" to continue deceiving, and will not give up easily.

Sacrificing a driver to build a firewall prevents the police from tracing the source and arresting the leader

As for the most critical reason, police officer surnamed Cai said that it is still rare for three riders to be arrested by the same victim in a short period of time. However, to the top management of the fraud group, the riders are just "consumables that can be sacrificed and replaced at any time." Even if they are caught and worn out, they can be quickly replenished. They even recruit foreigners. The purpose of the fraud group is to sacrifice the riders to build a firewall in order to prevent the police from tracing the source of the superior suspect.
