Criminal Investigation Bureau: Online shopping tops scams
Posted on 2026-04-09 15:25:14
Data from the 165 anti-fraud dashboard shows that the top three reported
scams are online shopping, fake investment, and prostitution-related scams.

The Criminal Investigation Bureau said scammers would also impersonate
government agencies, claiming victims have unpaid fines.

Common scam keywords include “limited-time low prices” and “free
giveaways.”

If victims fail to verify and proceed with transactions, scammers typically
claim further steps are needed, such as identity verification.

They then say the verification has failed and ask victims to contact customer
service—often directing them to add a LINE account, where many ultimately
fall victim.



Taiwan recorded an average of 460 scam cases per day in March, with total
daily financial losses exceeding $150 million NT.
