There's still, NO "vic" in this case, only, ENABLER, and you are the one, too, desperate for love, that's why you got, SCAMMED, "honey" (pardon the sarcasm!)…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The Police Set up a Sting, Pretending to be the Relatives of the Woman, Using the Lines from a Movie as a Cue, to Catch the Two Suspects Arriving to Get the Cash Drop, One Suspect Out on Bail, the Other in Custody
The man, Chen claimed himself as an engineer with a degree from abroad, looking for love online, causing a woman, an immigrant to the States from Taiwan, Kwan to fall head over heels, used the excuses of his families falling ill, losing in investment, scammed her a total of two million dollars, the woman hired an attorney to report the case in Taiwan. The police falsified themselves as the woman's next-of-kin in Taiwan, to deliver the drop, and arrested Chen and Hsiao this month, charged them on fraud, the D.A. set the bail for Chen for eighty thousand dollars N.T., and fifty thousand N.T.s for Hsiao, Chen didn't have anyone to get his bail, was kept in custody.
The police investigated, that the suspect, Chen (age 24) is unemployed, was caught with drug possessions, used the function of "someone nearby" from WeChat and zoomed in on the woman, Kwan on the eastern coast of the U.S. as a target, used the photo of a good looking male as his I.D. photo, claimed that he is an American engineer who is sent on business trips to China, Hong Kong, Macau, U.S., Japan, and other Southeastern Asian countries to work, that he's getting older, wanted to settle down with someone.
Chen had texted the woman every day, to make her feel loved, stated that he wanted to fly to the U.S. to meet, Kwan thought she'd found true love, after a month of chatting online, they'd begun, dating, and referred to each other as "honey", Chen even told her, "honey, go to bed now, and, dream of me, I love you, give me a kiss!", then Chen told that his family members are ill, that he'd lost in investments, scammed Kwan to wire him more than a dozen times, in the total of $60,000U.S. (about two million dollars in N.T.), this February, he'd told her, that he'd been arrested for a crime in Cambodia, needed $60,000U.S. in ransom to get out.
how many times do people NEED to fall for it for this repeated cycle to finally come to that dead halt??? Illustration from online
Kwan started getting suspicious, and started, googling the man's name and photo, and the online community told her that he was a scam artist, she'd confronted Chen, Chen then told her, that he was forced to falsify himself as another, that he was in custody in Cambodia, that he couldn't trust anyone, that's why he'd used a false identity, and showed his identification card to her, she took a shot of it, and called the attorney in Taiwan to file a case.
The Wenshan First Substation chased the leads, asked Kwan to send the message to Chen, that her relative will be handing over the two million to him in person, Chen told that he will have a friend to pick up the drop, and they'd agreed on using the phrase from the movie as a way of identification.
The relative who was actually a police officer used the secret words to confirm the identity, arrested the twenty-three-year-old Hsiao and the man who was on the lookout outside, Chen. Chen admitted to running the online relationship scams, claimed that he'd paid Hsiao thirty thousand N.T.s for him to pick up the cash drop; Hsiao claimed, that he'd only, answered to a high-paying job, that he'd not known he was working as a pickup for a scam.
The police traced the wire of the money that Chen managed to scam, found that most of the amounts were wired into the bank accounts in China, and Hong Kong, of the total, $5,400 U.S. had been wired into the post office savings account of Chen's, that he'd, spent every dollar. The police analyzed the mechanical units, the drivers, and the money laundering means, and believed that Chen was "operating independently", that he'd scammed the woman online, while, working to get the scammed amount into his account.
So, desperation still made you into, the BIGGEST VICTIM here, because you are so thirsty for love, too desperate, because, you're biological clock's ticking (??? How the hell should I know!), that's why, you got, victimized, and you are STILL not a "vic", you're, THE enabler in this case, and, despite how this two-man crew got found, caught and arrested, there are bound to be, more scammers that will pop up, like those, moles inside that game of WHACK-a-MOLE, and these "moles", can never get, completely, HAMMERED down! Because there's this need for love, and there will always and forever be those who will keep on, falling victim to this SHIT!
