Taiwan Immigrants' Global News Network-National Fraud Fighting Team brings together ministries, banks, and businesses to combat fraud

The largest fraud, money laundering, and hostage account gang in northern Taiwan has been discovered by the New Taipei City Police Department. According to the Minister (林右昌) of Ministry of the Interior, fraud cases are getting more and more varied and encompass industries including technology, banking, violence, and narcotics. The "Fraud Fighting Action Program Version 1.5" (打詐行動綱領1.5版) and the " National Fraud Fighting Team" (打詐國家隊) were developed by the government to implement the concepts of fraud detection, fraud prevention, and fraud punishment for fraudulent groups.

The law will likely be amended in the future to strengthen the punishment for fraud crimes. Financial controls will also be put in place, such as the real-name system for investment ads and an extension of the agreement to transfer funds until the morning of the following working day, to help control the scam's source. The Minister (林右昌) of Ministry of the Interior, aspires to use enterprise strength and public-private partnership in order to effectively combat Scam gangs.

The Police Department has also developed a systematic anti-crime strategy to combat gangs and has directed all local police departments to establish specialized anti-crime teams to entirely cut off the criminal activities of gangs. The public may benefit from a safe living environment if all relevant agencies work together to comprehensively combat gangs, prevent fraud crimes, and entirely cut off the fundamental causes of crime.
