Women tricks stores into giving extra change
Women tricks stores into giving extra change
2025-10-27
Several shops on Fushou Street in New Taipei’s Xinzhuang District were recently scammed by a woman whose sleight of hand fooled them into thinking they had given her incorrect change. One restaurant gave her an additional NT$500, only to later discover they had been tricked when checking surveillance footage. A nearby fruit vendor was also initially fooled, but quickly realized they had been tricked and chased the woman down.
In what seems like a normal interaction, a customer gives the employee NT$1,000 to pay for her meal. The employee takes out a NT$500 bill along with several NT$100 bills and hands the change to the customer. But the customer quickly sneaks the NT$500 bill into her pocket, then claims the employee didn’t give her enough change. The employee hands her another NT$500, cheated by the woman’s sleight of hand.
Ms. Huang
Restaurant manager
The woman was chatting with the employee as they were giving change, which distracted them while she quickly hid the NT$500 bill. She was wearing a hat and mask, so you really couldn’t see her facial features.
Zooming in on the surveillance footage, it’s clear that the woman quickly took the bottom NT$500 bill and slipped it under her black bag and into her pocket with her right hand. She then brought her hand back to the remaining bills to count them and claimed she hadn’t been given enough change. Later the same day, the woman tried the same trick at a fruit store down the street. But this time, they weren’t so easily fooled.
Mr. Huang
Fruit vendor
When she turned to leave, I immediately looked at the surveillance footage and saw her trick. I caught up with her and after speaking briefly with her, she admitted her fault and handed me back the NT$500.
This woman visited multiple stores on Fushou Street in New Taipei’s Xinzhuang District and tricked employees into giving her extra change. She may have used the same tactic at many stores across the city.

客人"變魔術"謊稱找錯錢 新莊福壽街店家接連受騙
2025-10-27
新北市新莊福壽街，接連有店家，碰上婦人以魔術手法，"變走"店家找的五百元，一間滷肉飯業者，真的誤以為找錯錢，再拿出五百元給婦人，調閱監視器，才發現上當受騙，至於另外一家，差點受騙的水果行老闆，越想越不對，識破婦人伎倆，追了上去，婦人才摸摸鼻子還錢。
婦人來到小吃店點完餐，掏了一千元給店員，店員拿出一張五百，以及好幾張百元鈔票，找給眼前的客人，但只花短短一秒，最底下的五百元，竟瞬間收進，婦人白色外套的口袋裡，店員絲毫沒有察覺，客人質疑店員找錯錢，對方再拿了一張五百元給她，直到調閱監視器，才驚覺受騙。

“店員找錢的時候，她一直跟店員交談，應該是這樣子來分散店員的注意力，快速地把找的五百元藏起來。因為她帽子口罩都戴好好的，所以說你根本沒有去，正面看到她的五官。”
透過畫面放大來看，拿到錢的婦人，先把放在最底下的五百元鈔票，用右手折了起來，利用黑色包包遮掩，瞬間放進右邊衣服口袋，隨後再把右手放回到鈔票上，質疑店家找錯錢。同一天同一套穿著打扮，婦人來到同一條路上的水果行，利用討樣的手法，謊稱找錯錢，卻遭店家當場識破。

“她轉頭走的時候，我就馬上開監視器下去看，結果就看出她的手法。我有追到，跟她講兩三句也就認了，把五百元再拿出來還給我。”
