• Should you have any question or concern, please dial the "165" anti-fraud hotline to verify. Most fake websites use "gov.tw" as their domain, for example: "ksigov.tw" or "gv.tw" to mislead the public into believing that they were authentic government websites. However, true government websites use ".gov.tw" in their websites. One missing dot makes all the difference!
• If you accidentally entered a non-official, unknown website, please turn off the page immediately and do not click on anything else. For instance, if you have entered any personal information, credit card, or bank account information on an unknown website, please contact your bank immediately to check for any unknown transactions. You should immediately cancel or replace your credit card, or apply for payment termination if necessary.

• First, you should verify and confirm the person's place of work, job title, and real name to make sure that the person is who they claim to be. You can search for the said government agency's phone number online, dial the "165" anti-fraud hotline, or dial "110" and ask the police for verification.
• Do not dial any phone number that the person provides you with, nor should you redial their phone number.
• Before you verify their identity, do not provide any personal information, identification documents, bank account, ATM card, your seal, or cash to the person. In addition, you should not follow the person's instructions.
