In recent years, there have been more and more fraudulent messages and scams. Many well-known people have been impersonated. Recently, unknown persons have even pretended to use the name of Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang to send emails or contact the public in other ways. The Ministry of Health and Welfare emphasized that the minister will not send messages to the public through non-official emails from the Ministry of Health and Welfare. If you receive suspicious messages, you must be vigilant.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare stated that it has recently received reports from the public that unknown persons are using the name of Minister Shi Chongliang to contact via email or other means. For example, the letter asks the other party to help set up a LINE working group, but there is no need to join other people. After completion, the group QR code will be sent back to facilitate the establishment of follow-up contact channels. It is not ruled out that the recipient's LINE contact information and personal information may be obtained through this method.

The Department of Health and Welfare reminds that the Secretary of Health and Welfare will not send messages to the public through Gmail, Yahoo, or other non-official emails of the Department of Health and Welfare, nor will he contact the public privately. If you receive relevant suspicious information, you must be vigilant to prevent personal data, account or financial information from being used by illegal parties.

In addition, the Ministry of Health and Welfare urges the public to remember to check before taking action if they encounter suspicious phone calls, text messages or online messages; if you have any questions, you can call the 165 anti-fraud consultation hotline for verification.
