ASUS: Scam Groups Fabricated Investment Contracts, Reported to US Law Enforcement

(Central News Agency Reporter Wu Chia-hao, Taipei, May 11) Computer brand manufacturer ASUS today issued a statement saying that it recently discovered that unlawful elements have been impersonating "ASUS Computers," its invested company "Huamin Investment," and ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih, maliciously fabricating investment contracts and false documents to deceive US citizens into investing funds and suffering asset losses. This fraud case has been reported to US law enforcement agencies and has entered judicial investigation procedures.

Regarding this cross-border investment fraud case, ASUS solemnly declared: ASUS and its chairman have never authorized any institution or individual to conduct public fundraising, joint investments, or managed investment activities. Such situations are entirely false and fabricated. The scam group, by stealing company registration information and the name of the responsible person, has violated multiple criminal offenses including forgery of documents and aggravated fraud.

ASUS urges the public to be discerning and to remain vigilant against such highly fraudulent investment information.

As early as 2024, ASUS was targeted by scam groups, with investment-related fan pages appearing on Facebook impersonating ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih, inviting the public to join. At that time, ASUS stated that Jonney Shih and the management team have never operated public social media accounts or groups, nor have they participated in any investment communities or shared financial experience.
