▍Beware of dating and matchmaking scams
When you see dating ads online and a beautiful woman adds you on LINE
Be aware of the characteristics and methods of scam gangs
1.Establish trust: dating and hinting at sexual liaisons : Initially, they engage in enthusiastic chatting and complement individuals (praising their looks and personality) to quickly build rapport and trust
2.First inducement: ask for the payment of a membership fee : Using “arranging a face-to-face meeting” as bait, individuals are asked to pay a small “membership fee” (NT$1,000) for screening purposes, testing their willingness to make a payment
3.Switching platforms and scams: a fake investment platform : The individual is asked to join Telegram, after which an “agent” and a “specialist” take over. The victim is then encouraged to deposit money on a platform, using professional packaging to create the illusion of legitimate transactions taking place
4.Advanced scamming: cash withdrawals are blocked and additional remittances requested : At the start, individuals are allowed to make one or two small withdrawals to build trust and encourage them to invest more. Once a victim has deposited a large amount, the scammers say the “account is frozen” and demand payment of a “verification fee” to unlock it
5.Result: realize it has been a scam : Victims make repeat payments via bank transfers, in-person remittances and even send cash in parcels, but ultimately the platform disappears, the scammers became unreachable and heavy losses are incurred
Matchmaking services do not ask you to pay upfront Never use investment platforms recommended by strangers
