In related news, the Shilin District Prosecutors’ Office yesterday said that a man in Taoyuan has been arrested for allegedly scamming a woman out of more than NT$3 million by impersonating postal and police officials in a scheme linked to the NT$10,000 universal cash handout program.
The suspect, surnamed Chang (張), faces charges including fraud and money laundering, prosecutors said, adding that he poses a high risk of colluding with accomplices or repeating similar crimes.
Chang first contacted the woman last month, allegedly posing as a postal worker and claiming that her identity had been used toapply for the government cash handout, investigators said.
He then allegedlyimpersonateda police officer, falsely warning that her bank accountwas involved in a money laundering investigation, and instructed her to transferfunds to an account number he provided.
Authorities said the 25-year-old acted as a “money mule” according to a scripted scheme, alternating between fake postal and police roles to instill fear and manipulate the victim.
Prosecutors warned that there could be more victims and investigations are ongoing.
Officials urged the public to exercisecaution. Anyone receivingsuspicious calls, messages or notifications related to the cash handout program should not follow instructions or provide their bank details.
