The Jing’an District People’s Procuratorate launched a public prosecution against the criminal suspect Wang Moumou and others in this fraud case. In the case, the defendant first added friends of the potential victim to follow online, and then used words to gain the other party's trust. When facing the public prosecution, the defendant once confessed that the more emotional value he provides to the victim, the more money he can receive. "Making the victim think he is in love" makes it easier to induce the victim to transfer large amounts of money.

All salesmen were instructed by Wang Moumou to publish videos or audios of fake stars or celebrities such as "Jin Dong" on Douyin and Kuaishou short video platforms to attract middle-aged and elderly women, defrauding their trust, and then using the fake celebrities or celebrities as mentioned above. Celebrity identities and victims engage in online chatting and online dating on the WeChat platform, inducing the victim to establish an emotional connection with the "celebrity".

The money of multiple victims totaled more than 310,000 yuan.

In this case, the prosecutor of the Jing'an District People's Procuratorate learned that until the incident, one of the victims, Aunt Zhang, had always denied being defrauded.
