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.
