“Fake it until you make it,” must have been the motto of Mr. Chiang, a fake teacher in Pingtung. For six years, the imposter taught at schools in Pingtung, Tainan and Kaohsiung, and even cleared admission exams for faculty. But it turns out it was all a sham. The man had spent NT$30,000 on fake bachelors and masters diplomas, forged teaching licenses and even a falsified clinical psychologist certificate. The scam only came to light after the Ministry of Education requested him to supply additional documents. He’s been sentenced to two years in prison for forging official seals and documents. Let’s hear more.

Voice of Cheng Chih-lung
Elementary school principal
Our faculty was shocked. I’ve been in this profession for such a long time and never had I ever heard about someone falsifying their academic credentials. It all seemed normal while he was at our school.

Chang Yu-chin
Elementary school principal
Our admin staff asked him for more documents, but he kept putting it off. In the end he told us that he had other career plans and he quit.

Yang Tsung-han
Pingtung District Court Deputy Spokesperson
He has been sentenced to four to six months in prison for each of the offenses of forging official documents and forging official seals, with a combined sentence of two years in prison.

The photograph shows Mr. Chiang holding up a banner saying “You’re amazing!” He received to celebrate his new position as a school counselor at an elementary school. But this real-life Taiwan version of the con man movie “Catch Me If You Can” has finally come to an end. Police arrested Mr. Chiang at his home in March this year, and found many forged certificates in his residence. Pingtung County’s Education Department says it will seek to recover Chiang’s illegally obtained salaries once the verdict becomes final.
