A small case of electrical fraud
led to a huge
marriage and dating fraud group of more than 500 people
In June this year, Mr. Yang, who was working at a construction site in Shuangyu, Lucheng, reported to the police, saying that he was cheated of more than 10,000 yuan by a female netizen. A few months ago, the female netizen took the initiative to add him as a friend in the WeChat group. "She was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to chat with me. In just ten days, we confirmed the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend." Mr. Yang said that the female netizen also sent him her ID card and household registration photos, which convinced him even more. No doubt.
In the chat, female netizens repeatedly asked him for red envelopes on the grounds of holiday gifts, lack of money for medical treatment, etc. In order to make his girlfriend happy, Mr. Yang sent out more than 50 red envelopes in just a few months, with the amount ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan.
In May of this year, at the repeated request of Mr. Yang, the two made an appointment to meet in Hangzhou. "Along the way, she kept asking me to send red envelopes by taking taxis, buying train tickets, eating on the road, etc." Thinking that he would see his girlfriend soon, Mr. Yang sent out many big red envelopes in succession. When Mr. Yang arrived in Hangzhou as scheduled, the female netizen blocked him directly after taking away the last red envelope.
This case seems to be simple and the amount of money involved is not much, but it has attracted the attention of Wenzhou police. "Not long ago, we cooperated with the Henan police to detect a large-scale online marriage and dating fraud case supervised by the Ministry of Public Security of , and arrested 270 suspects." From the perspective of the crime pattern, Mr. Yang’s deception experience is very similar to the “4.21” huge fraud case cracked before. “We suspect that there may be a large criminal group hidden behind this case.”
Starting from Mr. Yang’s deception case, The police tracked down the vines and found a very large online marriage and dating fraud gang entrenched in Dalian City, Liaoning Province for a long time. Preliminary research judged that the gang involved more than 500 people. This research and judgment clue has been highly valued by the higher-level public security organs. On August 12, under the unified coordination of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, it was decided to adopt a cooperation model in which the city's police sent personnel to provide research and judgment support, and Liaoning Province established a special case team to be responsible for network collection and investigation. On August 14, the Municipal Public Security Bureau sent the first batch of 18-member task force to Dalian to form a joint task force with the local police to carry out preliminary work. A big net was laid quietly.
The 46 dens were collected in the net
All the suspects were arrested
Not long after the Wenzhou special case team arrived in Dalian, the local epidemic broke out and the main urban area entered a state of control. "Our troops are divided into two groups, one group is located in the urban area of Dalian, and the other group is located in Wafangdian City, Dalian City." Said Lin Jiesen, a member of the task force and deputy head of the Second Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. , He and his colleagues in the urban area group could only live in a hotel and continue to advance the preliminary research and analysis work through the computer. The gang is located in , Wafangdian, and other places of 46 dens, and has locked the identity information of dozens of gang backbones and more than 500 members one by one, and basically figured out the gang’s organizational structure.” Diwa, the main gathering point of the den Fangdian, and the police on the other road visited and checked the 46 dens one by one based on the research and judgment information, making sufficient preparations for the final closing of the network.
On the eve of closing the net, our city once again organized , Lucheng, and other key public security forces to go to the local area to cooperate in the arrest and interrogation. "In recent years, including Lucheng, the city's public security organs have successively investigated and handled a number of large-scale communication network fraud cases with national influence, and accumulated combat experience." The police were all scattered to various teams of the Dalian police, and they played an important role in the arrest operation and subsequent interrogation.played an important role.
At 2:30 a.m. on October 10th, under the unified deployment of the Ministry of Public Security, the public security organs of the two places mobilized more than 2,700 police officers to attack in Wafangdian City, Pulandian District , Jinzhou District and other places under the jurisdiction of Dalian City. Centralized network collection. Thanks to the solid research and investigation in the early stage, all 62 backbone members of the criminal group were brought to justice, and none of the 46 target dens slipped through the net. Of the 589
arrested, 398 have been criminally detained and have been given administrative punishment to 108. In addition, 706 mobile phones, 13 computers, 271 bank cards, 156 account books, 150 "study manuals" for fraudulent gangs, and 485,900 yuan in cash were also seized. More than 2,000 cases involving more than 3.7 million yuan were initially cracked.
After police interrogation, it was found that since 2019, Zhu Mouping, the main criminal of the gang, has gathered Li Mouyong, Dai Moudong and others to organize the recruitment of unemployed people from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and rent houses in Wafangdian City and other places as fraud dens. The internal hierarchy of the gang is clear, including more than 500 salesmen, 46 den directors, 12 big directors and 7 managers including the main criminal Zhu Mouping. In order to increase the success rate of fraud, they also hired a lecturer from other places with a high salary to provide regular training on psychological knowledge and chatting skills for salesmen.
"Most of the dens are rental houses located in old communities. There are more than 10 salesmen and one director living in a house of 60 to 70 square meters." Lin Jiesen introduced that under the command of the "director", the salesmen lived in beautiful As a single woman, use WeChat, , QQ, Momo, and other dating software to find out-of-town men and chat online. According to the established chat script, they will gradually establish an online dating relationship with the victim. After gaining the victim's favor and trust, they will fabricate reasons such as relatives' illness, car accident, and travel expenses for meeting to defraud the victim of money.
The monthly salary is only 1,000 yuan
The living conditions are very poor
The police revealed the truth about the fraud dens
During the interrogation, the police discovered a strange phenomenon. Many low-level salesmen in the gang were once deceived. "These victims were deceived to Dalian in order to 'run away' with their so-called girlfriends. The director of the den would arrange for a female salesperson to take him around and take the opportunity to reveal to him the 'wealth password' of the online fraud." Lin Jiesen introduced According to the big pie described by the liar, after joining the gang, as long as you "work hard" and complete 100 orders, you can be promoted to director, and you can make money lying down from then on.
In order to increase the temptation, the scammers also placed stacks of cash in a den, and took the newcomers to visit the "results of battle". "Most of the victims are migrant workers with low income or college students who can't find a job. After some brainwashing, many people choose to stay and pursue their 'dream of getting rich'." Layers upon layers of exploitation, "every money cheated by the salesman has to be shared with the management. After deducting the director's, senior director's, and manager's commissions, only 15% is obtained."
According to the salary book seized by the police, most of the business The monthly income of a member is only about 1,000 yuan, and the lowest is not even two or three hundred yuan. In order to complete fraudulent tasks to achieve promotion, individual salesmen also borrowed money from relatives and friends as fraudulent income and handed it over. However, Zhu's equal management only needs to remotely control various dens by phone, and can make tens of thousands of yuan in profits every month.
was at the scene of the arrest, and the poor living conditions in the den surprised the police even more. "More than 10 people, regardless of gender, eat, drink, sleep, and commit crimes in the small rental house. They hardly go out except for regular nucleic acid tests." The police saw at the scene that the salesmen slept on the floor. There are only potatoes and Chinese cabbage on the dinner table. "There are potatoes and cabbage in sacks in the kitchen. It is said that only the 'leader' can eat a meal of meat when he inspects. The living conditions are very poor." Paying 7 yuan for living expenses, some people with poor performance will even be unable to make ends meet.
"In fact, the bottom-level salesmen are not only the perpetrators, but also the victims." Yang Guoqiang said that many people in the management of the gang have a history of pyramid schemes. Exploitation, "The successful cracking of this case not only effectively curbed the high incidence of marriage and dating online dating fraud cases across the country, but also freed more than 500 accomplices who were deeply involved in pyramid scheme fraud dens from the personal and mental control of pyramid schemes."
Exploring joint strikes Tactics
Wenzhou police pioneered the prevention and control of the epidemic
New anti-fraud model
"Under the current normalized epidemic prevention and control background, public security organs in various places are faced with the situation that when cracking down on telecommunications and network fraud crimes, the investigators cannot leave, and the criminal suspects cannot be brought back and locked up." Municipal Public Security Bureau According to Ke Haiou, head of the criminal investigation detachment of the bureau, the deputy mayor and director of the Public Security Bureau Mao Weiping proposed to adopt an innovative method of cross-provincial joint investigation and intensive strikes after the special investigation, that is, to pass the research and judgment results of Wenzhou to the location of the den, and dispatch The special team cooperates with the local area to jointly organize research and judgment, arrest, review, investigation and other work, taking into account the needs of epidemic prevention and control, so as to minimize the cost of combat and maximize the results of combat.
With the strong support of the higher-level public security organs, the Wenzhou police's original cross-provincial joint strike tactics have achieved fruitful results one after another. In April this year, under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security and the Provincial Public Security Departments of Zhejiang and Henan, the police from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and Nanyang, Henan jointly mobilized more than 500 police officers in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, and Bijie City, Guizhou Province. The suspects in the marriage and dating fraud project carried out centralized network collection, destroyed a total of 35 fraud dens, captured 270 criminal suspects, and explored and refined a set of intensive and efficient cross-provincial joint combat tactics. The large-scale online marriage and dating fraud project cracked in Dalian this time has optimized and perfected this combat mode. Next, the Wenzhou police will further leverage our city's capabilities in anti-fraud investigations and strikes, and continue to carry out cross-provincial joint strikes.
