Filipino Victims of a Remittance Scam in Taiwan filed a Complaint in MECO

One Filipina is being complained of remittance scam by eight OFWs in Taiwan. The issue had started when Filipinas were enticed to remit money through the banker named Nelsa.

It was told that Nelsa had invited OFWs in Taiwan through a Facebook post to remit money through her. She even promised that these people’s money can earn interests if they send their money through her.




One issue that arose from the system of Nelsa is that it will take one to two months before the receiver will get the remittances sent by their loved ones from Taiwan.

Through Nelsa’s agents, receivers had immediately acquired the remittances of their loved ones from July to August but starting from September of this year, their loved ones in the Philippines have not yet received their remittances since September.

The interest earnings that Nelsa promised were not also delivered to her customers.

Her victims went to the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taiwan to complain about Nelsa’s remittance scam.




One of her victims had shared in an interview by the TFC News that at first, she had received all of the benefits of transacting through Nelsa in sending remittances to the Philippines. She even added in her statement that she had recruited her friends in Taiwan to send remittances through Nelsa. But after a couple of months up to the present, all of the benefits and the remittances are still pending.

One of Nelsa’s agent had also said that she had transacted with Nelsa to remit NT$200, 000 or approximately P300, 000 to the Philippines. She was promised by Nelsa that her remittance will increase to P700, 000 after one month.

Some of Nelsa’ agents’ and their families’ lives are already being threatened by the victims of Nelsa’s remittance scam.

Nelsa had rejected all of the accusations being charged against her. She said that all of the agents’ remittances were already sent to the agents’ families. She also said that one of the probable reasons why the remittances did not reach the receiver was because the families of the agents who received the remittances did not remit it to the designated receivers.

MECO warns OFWs to remit only through licensed remittance centers to prevent scams.
