Case 1: Fake financial expert and LINE group
A 2026 CIB case involved stolen expert images, fake LINE groups, fake assistants and a fake app. More than 30 victims lost about NT$106 million.
Case 2: Fake virtual-asset platforms
Another 2026 case involved a fake exchange office and multiple fake apps. About 20 victims lost more than NT$84.66 million.
Case 3: Fake overseas “savings policy”
A woman nearly wired US$500,000 to Hong Kong for a supposed high-interest, participating overseas policy. Bank staff and police identified a suspicious collection account and stopped the transfer.
Case 4: Impersonation scam pushed a victim to surrender a policy
In August 2026, a Taiwan victim was told by fake telecom support and fake police that her assets were involved in crime. She nearly surrendered a USD savings-type policy worth about NT$1.4 million before intervention.
Case 5: Scammers may coach victims to lie to financial institutions
In another case, the victim was told to claim the proceeds from two investment-linked policies were for buying property. A request to hide the real purpose from a bank, insurer or family is a major red flag.
