The police rushed to check with grandma’s relatives and friends, and finally confirmed that there was a fraud, and saved the 150,000 capital in time.

The Wenchang Police Station of the Fifth Branch of Taichung City received a report from the post office in its jurisdiction last Friday.

Then the money was transferred abroad. Grandma rushed to the post office to prepare the remittance. The police did not dare to be careless. They tried to contact grandma’s daughter who was abroad, but they turned to other family members to check, but there was no one from relatives and friends. Upon learning of this, he also begged the police to help stop the fraud as soon as possible.
