Taiwanese Woman Indicted After Romance Scam Leads to Drug Smuggling
Posted on 2025-12-11 16:07:13
Authorities are reminding the public to be alert to overseas romance scams
... after a Taiwanese women was tricked into drug smuggling and indicted.

Officials say the woman met a man online who paid for her trip to Thailand.

Once she was there, the man instead asked her to bring back "gifts" to Taiwan
for a reward.

Customs officers later found over 16 kilograms of cannabis buds—a
Category-Two drug—hidden in her checked luggage.

Although the woman claims she did not know about the drugs, investigators say
she was used as a courier by an international trafficking group in a romance
scam.

She has since been transferred to the Taoyuan District Prosecutors' Office.

Police warn that transporting Category-Two drugs can carry life imprisonment
or at least 10 years in prison.
