People who report fraud cases now have a chance to win millions. To promote fraud awareness and prevention, the National Police Agency is encouraging people to report anyone they suspect of fraud. If it leads to a substantiated case, the informant could receive a reward of up to NT$10 million.

A store clerk calls the police after this person used the ATM for a long time, suspecting they might be involved in fraud.

The woman said she was using her friend’s ATM card, but failed to answer follow-up questions. It turns out the money she withdrew was stolen through fraud. Thanks to the store clerk’s initiative, the police caught the fraudster.

The National Police Agency is encouraging people to report anyone they suspect of fraud, incentivizing informants with rewards of up to NT$10 million.

Our current regulations say that people have to report the case before it has been discovered. The informant must provide a formal statement to the judicial or prosecutorial authorities. If police later catch the suspects and they are prosecuted with a sentence of three years or more, the maximum reward would be around NT$10 million.

Police said that in the past, people often hesitated to report fraudulent activity out of fear that criminal groups would retaliate.

Criminal Investigation Bureau official
When people make a formal statement, we conceal the source of the information, as there are safety concerns if their name is made public. The judicial system has legal regulations for protecting witnesses and we have a system for anonymous reporting. Rewards will also be given confidentially in the future.

Informants’ identities will be well-protected, so people can report suspicious activity without fear of repercussions. By offering rewards, the National Police Agency hopes to make fraud prevention routine.
