台灣電信詐騙集團臭名遠播，美國國務院在一份最新全球犯罪與安全報告中，特別點名台灣，雖然稱讚暴力犯罪少，但卻指出電信詐騙案時常發生，犯罪者往往假冒警察或檢方，讓受害人放下心防，因此報告也提醒美國民眾要特別注意。
美國世紀大騙子法蘭克艾巴內爾，上天下地無所不騙，不過現在台灣的騙子臭名遠播到了美國，美國國務院海外安全顧問委員會OSAC，2017年度犯罪與安全報告中先是讚賞台灣治安良好，很少街頭犯罪，暴力犯罪也很稀少，不過卻提到在台灣詐騙「經常發生」，受害者通常會接到自稱是警察、檢方、政府機構、銀行人員、保險公司或其他金融機構詐騙電話，很多犯罪者是從中國大陸或東南亞撥打詐騙電話，對犯罪者身分查驗逮捕起訴造成很大挑戰，台灣警方每年耗費大批人力追捕詐騙嫌犯，不過依然還是抓不勝抓，根據統計89%詐騙電話集中在星期一至星期五，詐騙集團也有周休二日而詐騙電話每個月浪費了台灣民眾15萬小時在接聽和回應，而每月詐騙金額高達數億元，可買386萬份雞排與珍奶。
台灣詐騙猖獗甚至變成國際犯罪，將基地設在不同國家詐騙當地民眾，近來甚至還有泰國嫌犯到台灣來取經學習，電信詐騙的SOP，現在連美國國務院都提醒美國公民要小心，電信詐騙也成為讓國人蒙羞的台灣之恥。

Taiwanese deported from Kenya 'suspected of fraud in China'

In a case that has enraged Taiwan, which has accused Beijing of kidnap, the Kenyan government said the people were in Kenya illegally and were being sent back to where they had come from.
Kenya does not have official relations with democratic Taiwan and considers the island part of “one China”, in line with the position of Communist Party leaders in Beijing.
China’s Ministry of Public Security, in a statement released via the official Xinhua news agency, said Kenya had decided to deport 32 Chinese and 45 Taiwanese to China, of whom 10 had already arrived and another 67 would leave on Wednesday.
Xinhua showed some of them arriving in Beijing with black hoods over their heads, escorted by police.
Taiwanese had been heavily involved in telecoms fraud in China and had caused huge losses, with some victims killing themselves, the ministry said.
Taiwanese criminals “have been falsely presenting themselves as law enforcement officers to extort money from people on the Chinese mainland through telephone calls”, the ministry added.
ADVERTISING
The group detained in Kenya had operated out of Nairobi and were suspected of cheating people out of millions of yuan across nine provinces and cities in China, and as most the victims were in China, they would be prosecuted there, it said.
China had informed Taiwan of the situation and would invite Taiwan law enforcement officials to visit to discuss how best to tackle such fraud, the ministry said.
An Fengshan, spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, said Taiwan needed to view the case rationally.
“The victims abhor this kind of fraud. I hope the Taiwan side can give more thought to the victims when it looks at this issue,” he told a news conference carried live on Chinese television.
According to Taiwan’s foreign ministry, one of the Taiwanese sent to China was also a U.S. national. The U.S. State Department said on Tuesday it was aware of this report, but was not able to discuss it “due to privacy considerations.”
On Wednesday, a spokeswoman for the department, Anna Richey-Allen, said the United States was following the issue closely and added: “We encourage Beijing to engage with Taipei to resolve this issue on the basis of dignity and respect.”
CHINA‘S JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN QUESTION
China views Taiwan as a wayward province and has not ruled out the use of force to ensure unification. Defeated Nationalist forces fled to the island in 1949 after the civil war with the Communists who have remained in control in Beijing since then.
Only 22 countries recognize Taiwan as the Republic of China, with most, including Kenya, having diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China, with its leaders in Beijing.
Taiwanese lawmakers grilled government officials during parliamentary committee sessions about the case.
“The Chinese judicial system is in question for many people in Taiwan,” said Lo Chih-cheng, a lawmaker for the ruling pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party. “They are wondering if those people can get a fair trial in China.”
Rachel Liu, the mother of 28-year-old Liu Tai-ting, who was deported to China on Tuesday even though a Kenyan court had acquitted him last week, also said she did not know about China’s judicial system.
“We hope any trial can be conducted in our own country no matter if guilty or not guilty,” she told Reuters.
Some comments on Taiwan social media questioned whether a precedent was being set of Taiwanese abroad being “taken away” by China, drawing a parallel with the case of five booksellers in Chinese-controlled Hong Kong who temporarily went missing in mysterious circumstances.
Hong Kong authorities are still waiting for detailed explanations from China regarding the booksellers, who produced and sold gossipy books critical of Chinese leaders, amid suspicion among some that they were abducted by Chinese agents. China has denied any wrongdoing.
China’s influential state-run Global Times said Kenya was right to send the people to China and added: “The mainland’s handling of the case is supported by international laws.”
