[Reporter Yao Yuehong/Taipei Report] In early December last year, a man surnamed Wu saw on Facebook that he was asking for work to help Douyin merchants and Internet celebrities increase the click-through rate. The TikTok account asked Wu Nan to follow and like the video. He did get the money at first, but when he continued to accept orders, the other party asked him to store value and transfer money to increase the "member authority" before he could accept tasks with a larger amount. Until he wanted to withdraw his salary and principal for the New Year at the beginning of this month, he found that he could not withdraw it, and was defrauded of 230,000 yuan.

The Criminal Police Bureau reminded that Facebook is full of various job-seeking information, and under the advertisements of emerging industries such as "part-time jobs, low entry barriers, and high profits", job-seeking fraud cases have been derived.
