A total of 10 fraud cases in Nantou County were spotted and stopped by financial institutions, convenience stores, and the general public successfully in January and February, with an amount of NT$ 1,864,538, of which three cases exceeded NT$ 300,000. In the public security report meeting on the 17th, together with Commissioner Huang Yung-chih of Nantou County Police Bureau, Deputy County Magistrate Chen Cheng-sheng commended and presented awards to the meritorious personnel for their positive spirit and high vigilance on behalf of the county residents and the police. In January this year, an assistant manager of the Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Puli Branch surnamed Tsai successfully stopped a fraud case of NT$ 300,000, a teller of Zhushan Farmers’ Association surnamed Huang successfully stopped a fraud case of NT$ 400,000 and a teller of Sanhe Post Office surnamed Liu successfully stopped a fraud case of NT$ 700,000. The fraud cases include impersonating public officials, investment fraud with camouflage of making friends and other methods of operation. The personnel asked about the purpose of the applicants’ remittance and notified the police when they spotted unusual signs. As a result, they successfully prevented the public from being deceived, as well as protecting their wealth. Deputy County Magistrate Chen said that the police force is not unlimited, but the public is. The financial institutions did a really good job in cooperating with the police to stop fraud and robbery. The commendation was only a little reward and bonus for financial institutions, but it can make fraudulent rings more restrained and help people keep their assets, which is of great significance to society.
