- ① Does the company really exist?
Use the official Taiwan company registry to check the unified number and registration status (must be 'approved'). You can also use AI DD Map to check registration, responsible person, and directors/supervisors at once. - ② Does the responsible person/company have a bad record?
Check if the responsible person is linked to multiple suspicious companies or has public records of environmental, procurement, or labor penalties. - ③ Is it legally qualified?
Check the FSC's approved list for securities/futures/investment consulting/banking—if not listed but soliciting investments, it's illegal. - ④ Where does the money go?
Is it going to a regulated brokerage/bank account, rather than a personal, nominee, or crypto wallet? - ⑤ Is the return reasonable?
Is the promised return far above the market? 'Guaranteed profit, risk-free' should be treated as a scam. - ⑥ Is withdrawal smooth?
Test withdrawal with a small amount to see if you can fully withdraw. Having to pay a "deposit/tax/unfreeze fee" before withdrawal = scam. - ⑦ What are online reviews?
Search "platform name + scam / withdrawal / PTT / Dcard" to see if there are any victim reports.
If all seven checks pass, risk is relatively low; if just one fails, it's worth stopping and investigating further. Investment can wait, but scammed money cannot be recovered.

❓ FAQ
Does verification really take only 10 minutes?
Basic three checks (company registration, FSC approval, online reviews) can usually be completed within 10 minutes, which is enough to weed out most scams. Going deeper into the responsible person's affiliations and penalties takes a few more minutes, but it's worth it.
