The coffin is gone! More than 60 people were victims of the charity for cheating money | Apple News | Apple Daily

(Update: new lawyer suggestion)

A mutual aid charity in Kaohsiung asked to save the coffin to recruit older people from all over Taiwan. Regardless of their medical history, no age limit, or even cancer, they can participate. They pay 2,000 yuan a month. After the member passes away, you will not only protect the capital but also increase the amount. Receive more than 20% of the condolence money. People surnamed Yunlin Dong paid more than 230,000 yuan for their paralyzed grandfather over 4 years, but last month he was shocked that his association was robbed and his account frozen. Members of the mutual aid association went to the building. that there are more than 60 in Kaohsiung and Yunlin. The old man was defrauded and the loss was estimated in the tens of millions. The victims scolded the Mutual Aid Association for “false charity, the truth of the fraud.” They have assembled groups to gather information and prepare a collective report.

An audience surnamed Dong in Yunlin Gukeng complained to Apple News that he and his three brothers and sisters, and his 84-year-old grandfather who was lying in bed four years ago, participated in the Kaohsiung Mutual Aid Association “Association. Charity Care Council of Taiwan “. In the end, 2000 members will be recruited from Taiwan. Each member will pay 1,500 yuan for membership and pay 2,000 yuan per month. If a member passes away after participating for more than 6 months, they will receive a death condolence payment and will recover the principal and more than 20%. interest.

“It is like saving money, and it is similar to paying for insurance, so that the grandfather can have money for his children and grandchildren in the future.” Due to the highly recommended by family and friends, Dong’s grandson does not suspect that he has it. Since October 2016, he has signed up for his grandfather to pay. He also doubled the payment of a fee and paid 4,000 yuan a month to the Mutual Charity Association. Unexpectedly, after paying for four full years, I went to remittances in early October this year, but found that the Mutual Aid Association post office account had been frozen. I asked him that the president had collected the bill at the end of September and that the Association for Mutual Aid of Charity had come to the building.

Dong Nan called the charity club, but Wang Wenting, the CEO named “volunteer team leader,” said that Chairman Lin Xian helped collect the money. This person did not answer the phone and did not avoid meeting. She was also a victim herself. Aside from actively looking for someone also consider applying.

According to Dong Nan’s calculation, he has paid 193,500 yuan for the first membership fee of 1,500 yuan plus 4,000 yuan per month for 4 years and 48 terms. If calculated according to the association’s formula, it would have to recover 230,000 yuan by the end of September this year.

A victimized member in Kaohsiung also bitterly complained that she had paid around 160,000 yuan for 7 years and 8 months, but was told to unilaterally terminate the contract. So far you have panicked and don’t know what to do. A few days ago, I made a request to Kaohsiung City Councilor Li Shunjin and I hope to receive help. Local victims are also connected through the LINE group. According to preliminary statistics, 21 people are known to have been victimized. The number of hoaxes ranges from 100,000 to 4,500,000, and the loss is estimated in the tens of millions.

According to the official website of the Ministry of the Interior, the Taiwan Charity Care Association was established on June 30, 2012. The place is located in Qianzhen District of Kaohsiung City, belongs to an established social organization, and the president is Wang Wenting. According to the “Information Retrieval of Legal Entities of the Consortium”, the association changed in September 2012, with the purpose of saying “Through the interaction of the association, people can have a kind heart, reestablish themselves and make this society more harmonious and stable. “The chairman of the board was changed to Lin Xianzhu, with 4 permanent directors, 10 directors and 5 permanent supervisors, including the original chairman Wang Wentian.

According to the “Apple” poll, the association’s website advocates a system of mutual benefit for members, using “Spring of the family refusing” as propaganda. The membership fee is paid at a monthly fee of 2,000 yuan and is sold to the silver-haired family who are often denied insurance by commercial insurance companies. You can join the above membership, but you must request medical history and there is no seniority limit. It also emphasizes that cancer patients can participate. The literature shows an example that a member who died 2 years after joining already paid 47,500 yuan in mutual aid to calculate, and then can receive 80,000 yuan. Condolences on the death of 1,318 yuan.

A piece of filial piety prepared a coffin for his grandfather, all doubts were deceived, causing Dong Nan to be saddened and dumbfounded. Go to the Yongguang Local Police Station to report to the police. The police advised him to seek out the Kaohsiung city government for an investigation. He called the Kaohsiung city government, but the People’s Organization Section of the Social Bureau said the association had been approved by the Interior Ministry and was not under the control of the Gao city government. Dong Nan called the Ministry of the Interior to refer someone to ask, and was told that the case was suspected of being fraudulent and a criminal case, so he suggested that he seek a lawyer to file a complaint.

Dong Nan said helplessly that he was deeply confused when he asked for help and received the reply “You must find another competent authority to deal with it.” He was deeply confused, “I feel like a ball, kicked and kicked, and there is no way to ask for help!” “Apple” exposed the case and appealed to other victimized members inadvertently for compensation.

Subsequently, the Yunlin County Interpol Brigade and the Dounan Investigation Team intervened to clarify that “this type of case has been around for a long time and continues to change …” It was discovered that this case was not the first. After the police explained, Dong Nan decided to go to Kaohsiung to report the case for himself.

“Apple” sent a call to the Social Organization Section of the Preparatory Office of the Department of Cooperation and Popular Organizations of the Ministry of the Interior. The organizer responded that the Taiwan Charity and Care Association was indeed approved in 2013, but did not request the mutual aid business for the deceased. The association and its members The signing of a contract is an act of private law, and if the rights and interests of individuals are harmed, it is recommended that they be processed through the courts.

“Apple” continued to call the association for several days, but officials Wang Wenting, Lin Xianzhu and others did not answer the phone. They tried calling again at noon on the 5th and finally contacted “President” Wang Wenting, but he assumed all responsibilities. They pushed him to Lin Xianzhu, emphasizing that he was forcibly appointed by Lin Nan, but all the affairs and finances of the conference have always been handled by “president” Lin Xianzhu. At the end of September this year, Lin Nan said that she wanted to save money, so she decided to transfer the association to him. The place, then the world evaporated, so far I can’t contact, “Let’s find someone!”

Wang Wenting said that Lin Xianzhu, who is in his 70s, was engaged in the insurance industry in his early years. He had worked in many life insurance companies such as Nanshan and Hongtai, and served as the deputy general manager of the Southern District. He had never heard of the financial situation, the running of the conference business and the payments. There was no abnormality in the payment and there was no signal, so everyone did not realize that he would reject it.

Wang Wenting estimates that, along with the 60 local people in Kaohsiung, the Taiwan Mutual Aid Association has a large number of victims, and it is difficult to estimate the number and quantity of them so far. He himself suffered up to more than one million yuan. In addition to finding the local police station for the record, he also reported an investigator surnamed Xu at the Kaohsiung investigation station last week. Then if other members want to call the police, they will also accompany you. Introduce oneself.

Lawyer Weng Chenmao said similar situations are common in the collapse of many mutual aid associations in the private sector. Members cannot find the head of the meeting to claim compensation and it is difficult to recover after the event. Also, victimized members have different opinions on whether or not to sue and what crimes to sue, even if they report to the police. The complaint, usually when the other party comes forward afterwards, they often spread both hands and have no money to pay. It is recommended that victims can file fraud, embezzlement, and breach of trust lawsuits after collecting data, but most importantly, be vigilant when participating in mutual aid associations.

The Gao City Social Bureau stated that the Taiwan Charity Care Association site is located in Qianzhen District, Kaohsiung City, and is currently not rented to anyone; The organization is a national organization administered directly by the Ministry of the Interior. The victim surnamed Dong presented to the Yunlin County Police. The Kaohsiung City Police Department has yet to receive the relevant information from the victim’s report. He will take the initiative to contact the president and staff of the association to clarify the situation and investigate the case, and will also help the deceived persons.
