Changhua Police Arrest Fraud Ring Members 男子誤信廣告訊息求職 遭拘禁民宿多日

A man surnamed Chang fell victim to a fake job ad on Facebook and was imprisoned for several days at a Changhua guesthouse by a fraud ring, during which he was forced to apply for bank cards. A bank employee notified the police after discovering suspicious transactions with Chang's account.

Police officers surround the vehicle. The three men inside the car are members of a fraud ring. 

One worked as a driver for the fraud ring, and the other two were members of the ring. The man inside the bank, surnamed Chang, was a victim. On Nov. 21, the Changhua County police received a call from a bank employee alerting them that Chang and two other men had arrived at the bank to apply for a bank card. The employee discovered suspicious transactions with Chang's bank account and that it was being used by a fraud ring.

Wang Kuo-feng, Captain, Changhua Precinct, Changhua County PD: “The fraud ring kept (the victim surnamed Chang) under surveillance and forced him to go to the bank and withdraw money. (A bank employee) discovered there were numerous suspicious transactions with his account.”

Chang told the police that he answered a job ad on Facebook on Nov. 16. He met up with the fraud ring members in New Taipei City and was detained. They took away his phone and ID card, and took him to a Changhua guesthouse where he was imprisoned for several days.

Wang Kuo-feng, Captain, Changhua Precinct, Changhua County PD: “He was detained and moved around several guesthouses and hotels, but was not maltreated or beaten.”

The police confiscated NT$9 million in illegal profits that the suspects were preparing to remit overseas, and the two fraud ring members were arrested on suspicion of fraud, obstruction of freedom, and violations of the Money Laundering Control Act. The police will now determine the source of the funds and if there were other accomplices. They will also step up inspections of hotel and guesthouse operators to ensure they won't be used by fraud rings as places to imprison victims.

重重警力將轎車包圍，車上3名男子故作鎮定，實際上他們都是詐騙集團的成員。

員警小心盤查，其中一人是詐騙集團司機，另外兩名男子都是成員，而銀行裏頭的張姓男子，則是詐騙集團的受害者。上個月21日，彰化警方接獲銀行行員通報，張姓男子和另外兩名男子臨櫃要辦金融卡，但行員發現張姓男子的帳戶有異常金流，發現是詐騙集團的人頭帳戶。

彰化縣警察局彰化分局分局長王國峯指出：「（張姓被害男子）受到詐騙集團監控下，要到銀行辦理提領款，（行員發現）他的帳戶裡面有大量異常金流出入，非常可疑。」

張姓男子向警方供稱，上個月16日透過臉書找工作，在新北市和成員接洽後就被控制行動，不僅手機和證件都被沒收，也成為人頭帳戶，被帶到彰化的民宿，監視囚禁多日。

彰化縣警察局彰化分局分局長王國峯表示：「輾轉在幾間民宿、旅館受到控制，但尚未受到凌虐或毆打。」

警方查扣嫌犯準備匯往國外的900萬不法所得，兩名集團成員也被依詐欺、妨害自由及違反洗錢防制法等罪嫌移送法辦。後續除了追查金流以及是否有其他共犯，也將對旅館民宿加強清查，避免成為詐騙集團的囚禁據點。
