New scam technique,bets on ring toss.
There's an infinite variety of scams. Recently a new scam technique has appeared in Nantou. By using a ring toss booth, the suspects first pretended that they had no technique and made monetary bets with onlookers for 2 to 3 thousand NTD. The suspect actually got more than NT$200,000 in Nantou's night markets and traditional markets before being busted recently by the police.

The criminal first sets up a ring toss booth by the roadside near a night market or traditional market to attract people into playing the ring toss game. Then the booth owner will start to pretend that he has little technique and cannot make the tosses. His counterparts on the side will encourage onlookers to bet against the owner on whether or not he will be able to make the toss. In actuality, the owner is very familiar with the techniques required for the ring toss, so it is no wonder that any member of the public that bets loses repeatedly.

The scammers took advantage of people's unwillingness to admit defeat to continually scam them. Sources say that a woman lost a grand total of NT$120,000 this way. This even resulted in a victim's family member being so angry and resentful of being scammed that they got sick and had to be hospitalized. After learning of this, the police saw through the scam, latched onto the criminals' trails, and caught them. Hopefully no one will be scammed in this way in the future
