A woman, with limited education, previously worked as a hotel hostess when she was young. She is the mother of two young children and a single parent who diligently manages her household. Due to her unstable and meager income, she was meticulous in financial planning. A long-time friend of A woman, B woman, recognized this and introduced A woman to work as an accountant for an entertainment establishment. A woman would receive a monthly salary of 45,000 NTD and was told she could work from home to accommodate her childcare responsibilities. A woman agreed to this arrangement.

 

Unbeknownst to A woman, B woman was, in reality, the leader of a fraudulent "CALL客" group. The group operated by having "CALL客秘書" (secretaries) make phone calls to victims using fraudulent schemes. Then, "取款小姐" (withdrawal girls) would collect money from the victims at specified times and locations. Subsequently, the withdrawal girls would transfer the funds to group members through various methods, and the members would pass the money to A woman for accounting purposes. A woman would then follow B woman's instructions to remit the funds to unknown individuals in Mainland China.

 

Throughout this entire process, A woman genuinely believed she was only performing accounting and bookkeeping tasks for the entertainment establishment and had no knowledge of any fraudulent activities. She had absolutely no contact with the group members, withdrawal girls, or any other individuals involved. Even her longtime friend B woman never disclosed any details about the nature of the work. Unfortunately, A woman found herself prosecuted by the authorities after the case came to light. Moreover, due to her financial difficulties, she was unable to afford legal representation and initially had to rely on the attorney appointed by B woman, leading her into the depths of a wrongful conviction.
