Chiang Wan-an campaign targeting misinformation and fraud

Overview

The campaign office of Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an has faced multiple instances of unauthorized activity. Initially, the office filed a police report regarding an unauthorized election poster titled ‘Wan-an Eliminates Three Evils’. The poster used violent imagery and a fake government label to mislead the public. The social media account used to spread the material was reportedly closed following the incident.

Subsequently, the campaign reported a fraudulent website to the police. This unauthorized site used the campaign name to sell merchandise and trick supporters into making payments. The campaign office condemned the scam and urged the public to use only official channels for information.
