Scam in Taiwan

Before I went to Calgary, I worked as a secretary in a Law Studio.  My boss is a lawyer.  We had two cases about the fraud. 

First one is about con men who were selling fake Chinese medicine to old people.  They often worked as a group.  Our client was also old men.  He was already up to 70 years old.  They tried to find old people who were stay lonely in the hospital waiting for the doctor.  One of them seated beside the old people, and chatted to them.  He told the old people that he had the same health problems.  He treated these old people like family.  Old people trusted him.  Then he sold the fake Chinese medicine to old people in high price.  The victim’s family found the fraud, and called the police.  Our client was found guilty of fraud. 

The second one is about a girl who was used by the Scam clan.  Let me tell you the story.  The girl bought something online.  She transferred money by ATM.  After several days, she received a phone call.  The con man, who called her, personated a bank employee.  And told her that she press the wrong button on ATM, that she could be transferred the same mount of money periodical to the seller.  He let the girl go to ATM again and he thought the girl how to use the ATM correctly, and used the ATM in English.  The next day, the girl found that she had no money in her account!  The girl was very nervous!  At the same time, the con mad called the girl again.  She asked the man what happened.  The con man told her it must have problems on her cash card.  The con man asked her to put her cash card with a note which write down the code number into a bag then give it to a betel nut shop.  Then they can figure out her account problem.  The stupid girl followed the con man’s directives.  Of course, the co man disappeared for ever.  Until the girl receive the arrest warrant from District Court.  The charge was conspiracy to fraud.  She realized that the scam clan used her account to transferred money.  She knows that she was not only cheated but also used by the scam clan!

Why Calgary?

When I decided to study abroad in Calgary, lots of my friend asked me:” Why did you choose Calgary?”   Even though I’ve been living in Calgary 23 days; my classmate who also come from Taiwan asked me the same question.  Maybe I can post the reasons on my blog.

At first, I made a decision that I want to study English instead of work in Canada.   I’ve been worked for 2 years, since I graduated from university.   I would like to return to be a student and keep learning English which is my favorite subject.   And I prefer to learn American English.   I’ve been told that American is not a friendly country.   I searched lots of information about studying abroad.   I found that people, who studied English in Canada, said Canada is a wonderful country!  Canadian is kind and friendly.

Second, I need to make another decision.  Which school do I like?  I think that it will be much easy to find a school which is suitable for me by choosing the province as step1.  Step 1, I chose province of Alberta, because it’s in the west of Canada.  It’s not so far as Ontario.  The weather is comfortable at summer, cold at winter.  But it’s not cold as Manitoba and Saskatchewan.  The most important reason is the tax!  There is no Provincial Sales Tax in Alberta.  Step 2, I have to make a decision between University of Calgary and University of Alberta.  I visited each website of these two schools.  I found that it only takes 1 and half hours to drive from University of Calgary to Banff!!  And the activity program!!  Olympic Oval!!  Great!  That’s it!!  That’s what I want!!!

That’s why I’m studying English here now.  And I am so happy that I made a right choice.  People here are really friendly.  I’ve been helped by different people twice when I got lost and missed the bus.  I have a nice host family.  I meet lots of classmates come from many countries.  All of my teachers are hard-working.  I went to Banff last weekend!!  And now, it’s snowing.  I love snow!  Let it snow!!

Do you have a Holstein in your house?

Kwai Lun-Mei, who is a famous movie star in Taiwan, the scene is in a kichen.  A bottle of milk was on the table.  She seated on a chair and said : ” Your body care about what you eating.”  She gave a simple introduce about the milk –Lin Fong Ying Hight Quality Milk.  Then she drank a cup of Lin Fong Ying.  Milk mark was on her mouth.  When she enjoyed drinking the milk, a Holstein appeared.  The Holstein cow mooed. 

Ling Fong Ying is one kind of products in Weichuan.  They named the milk “Lin Fong Ying” because it’s a famous ranch in Tainan which is in the south of Taiwan.  Water and air are clean and fresh there.  It’s suitable for feeding Holstein.  The advertisment try to convince people that the milk is so thick that you will have milk mark on your mouth after you drink the milk.  And the milk is so fresh that feel like you have your own milk cow in your house.  They only use the A level milk from Lin Fong Ying ranch.  It’s a successful advertisement.  Nowadays people all believe the “Lin Fong Ying Hight Quality Milk” is the best choice.  While a drinking shop make the milk tea with the “Lin Fong Ying Hight Quality Milk”, the price of milk tea can be higher, and people still love to buy it.

I like the milk mark in this advertisment.  Everytime I drink milk, I also like to leave the milk mark on my mouth.  Then I will lick it.  How about you?
