The situation in Russia and Ukraine has aroused concern, and scammers on the island have also begun to emerge one after another, following some people pretending to be "Ukrainian officers" to cheat money, and then there are accounts posing as "Ukrainian Humanitarian Rescue Red Cross" to defraud donations.
According to the United News Network and other Taiwan media reported on the 19th, due to the influx of a large number of Ukrainian refugees into Poland, the Taiwan Red Cross Society donated 1,700 boxes and more than 240,000 pieces of materials, which will be sent to the Red Cross Society in Poland and other places.
However, the volunteers of the Taiwan Red Cross Society recently found that some people fraudulently used the name of the Taiwan Red Cross Society and other logos to raise funds in the name of the "Ukrainian Humanitarian Red Cross Society", and asked the people who intended to donate private messages to the fan page Xiaobian, and then invited the people to join line (instant messaging software) friends.
After the dialogue gained confidence, the criminals immediately demanded that the population transfer money. Screenshots of the conversation showed the scammers saying that the donations would "help Ukrainian refugees tide over the difficulties," falsely claiming that they would provide details of the donations within 5 to 10 working days after receiving the donations, and asking Taiwan netizens who were interested in donating money to send money to their Taiwan accounts first.
Wang Qingfeng, president of the Taiwan Red Cross Society, said that the Taiwan Red Cross Society has called the police to deal with such a trick of lawbreakers to deceive the public. The association also called on the Taiwan people to find out the relevant information of various non-profit organizations before donating money.
After the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, more than one scam occurred on the island.
According to Taiwan media reports, on March 16, there was also a "Ukrainian officer courtship and cheating money" incident on the island, a 68-year-old woman surnamed Zhuang in Chiayi County, Taiwan, recently met a man who claimed to be an officer in Ukraine in the LINE dating app, pretending to be waiting for the end of the war with Russia, to come to Taiwan to stay with her, but because of the current lack of money to spend, she first went to the bank near her home to remit NT$100,000 to the bank account, fortunately, the staff found that there was a different alarm, so that the woman was not deceived.
Regarding the incident of taking advantage of the situation in Ukraine to defraud, some netizens on the island left a message in the Comment Area of the Taiwan media: "This is what the global fraud center - The Taiwanese people will do!" ”
