A man surnamed Zhang, about 50 years old, panicked to the Yancheng Police Station of the Sixth Branch of the Tainan City Police Department to report the crime on September 29. He received a call from someone claiming to be a pharmacist at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital saying, "There is a woman surnamed Wang holding Zhang's ID card and authorization. He went to the hospital to collect a large amount of controlled drugs and then left, and the police were called." Later, a police officer who claimed to be a police officer contacted Zhang and said that he wanted to monitor the 100,000 yuan in Zhang's account, which made him panic. After hearing this, the Yancheng police officer analyzed it as a scam.

Zhang Nan was busy with work at the time and asked the other party to call him later. However, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he went to the Yancheng Police Station of the Sixth Branch of the Nanshi Police Department for help. The police listened patiently to Zhang Nan's statement, and based on the common techniques used in fraud cases, they found that the other party used words such as "the identity was used forfeiture," "a large amount of controlled drugs were involved," and "the police have been involved in the case." They deliberately created a tense atmosphere to lure the public into a fraud trap.

The police officer explained to Zhang Nan that this was a scam and analyzed that most similar fraud techniques have three stages. First, a fake pharmacist calls; in the second stage, a fake police officer or fake prosecutor is transferred, and finally, the victim is asked to transfer the deposit on the grounds of assisting supervision. Zhang Nan suddenly realized after the police explained that he had been defrauded of 100,000 yuan.
