Previously, many aunts in Shanghai encountered online fraud. The scammer pretended to be "Jin Dong", gained the trust of the aunts by "falling in love" and other methods, and then defrauded the money in the form of "pig killing plate".
What is shocking is that behind the "Internet Beauty" is a man who picks his feet, but behind the "Fake Jin Dong" are nine young women, with an average age of less than 30 years old.
As 9 criminal suspects arrived in the case one after another, the prosecutor determined after review that the gang headed by Wang defrauded multiple victims totaling more than 300,000 yuan from May 2022 to June 2023, and transferred these to The illegal profits were used for shopping, paying salesperson wages, etc., and they were squandered. This behavior has violated the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China".
On October 27, 2023, the Shanghai Jing'an District Procuratorate prosecuted 8 criminal suspects (1 separately) on suspicion of fraud in accordance with the law.
The fake "Jin Dong" who defrauded Liu Peiling of 190,000 yuan has been sentenced, but other fake "Jin Dong" attracted Liu Peiling on the Internet and fell in love with her.
In fact, although fake "Jin Dong" scams are not uncommon, such accounts have never been eliminated. "Jin Dong" never appeared. One fake "Jin Dong" has fallen, but there are still other fake "Jin Dong" active.
On a certain short video platform, fans took photos with the fake "Jin Dong" account
The mother fell in love with the fake "Jin Dong"
The son secretly became a "policeman"
After the mother fell in love with the fake "Jin Dong", Zhang Jinzhi secretly became a "policeman" police".
After the divorce, Liu Peiling took hundreds of thousands of yuan given by her husband and rented a house alone in Shanghai. Every day at two o'clock, she goes back and forth between her workplace and her residence. No one knows what she is doing on a daily basis. Zhang Jinzhi quietly follows his mother's social platforms and understands her life dynamics through the short videos she posts.
The relationship between mother and son has become delicate. From the moment the son checks his mobile phone, related words such as "Jin Dong" and "love" have become sensitive words in the family. Liu Peiling became extra vigilant. She would not let anyone touch her mobile phone. When she went to take a shower, even if her mobile phone was out of battery, she would take both mobile phones into the bathroom to charge.
But Zhang Jinzhi would still wait for an opportunity every time he went to visit his mother. Every time his mother unlocked her phone, he would pay attention to the position of her fingers out of the corner of his eye to decipher the password, and secretly check his mother's phone whenever he had the opportunity. He would not let go of any fake "Jin Dong". When he saw the transfer records or WeChat IDs, Zhang Jinzhi would secretly take pictures of them for future evidence collection.
In Zhang Jinzhi's heart, everything is far from over. According to his calculations, before the police filed the case, his mother spent almost 500,000 yuan on the fake "Jin Dong", but in the end, only 190,000 yuan was filed and the compensation was refunded. After investigation, it was found that the remaining money was defrauded by other fraud gangs and has not yet been processed. The 190,000 yuan refunded by
was firmly controlled by Zhang Jinzhi. He was afraid that his mother would get deeper into trouble and squander all the money, and even start thinking about real estate. What he was most worried about was that his mother had lost her purest feelings, but there was nothing he could do about it, after all, his mother was still addicted.
Zeng Yuezhen, who is over 70 years old, is also a victim of this fake "Jin Dong" case. Unlike Liu Peiling, Zeng Yuezhen's friendship with "Jin Dong" has always been a secret. No one knows about it except the police and herself.
After meeting "Jin Dong" online last year, Zeng Yuezhen successively sent multiple small red envelopes to "Jin Dong" and gave rewards in the live broadcast room to support him in "setting up factories across the country." It was not until the end of the year that lawyer Xie Haitao came to her door and offered to compensate the defendant, and the police also approached Zeng Yuezhen for investigation. Only then did she realize that the person who called her "sister" every day was indeed pretending to be "Jin Dong" people.
did not have any certificate, but Xie Haitao still refunded Zeng Yuezhen based on the transfer records. In People's Park, Zeng Yuezhen quietly resumed her old life with the thousands of dollars she had lost, without telling any of her children.
Also keeping this secret is Cheng Xiaoyu who lives in Beijing.She kept it secret and always wanted to get her money back, but she was even more afraid that her children would find out about it. "My family members are all around, so don't talk about it anymore. They don't know. It's okay," she said. Make a big fuss! "
On a certain short video platform, an account that posted videos in the tone of "Jin Dong" opened a small store with many products.
Meet "Jin Dong"
In the case of fake "Jin Dong", fake " "Jin Dong" called the fans opposite him "sister" and used ambiguous words to attract them to pay.
Zeng Yue really likes Jin Dong's upright look. She has watched many TV series played by Jin Dong. The characters he plays are always polite, keeping a polite distance from girls, taking care of others like a gentleman, and among girls. The protagonist always comes forward in times of crisis. In the past two or three years, Zeng Yuezhen always likes to watch "Jin Dong" videos on short video platforms, sometimes liking them and sometimes commenting on them.
When her grandchildren grew up, Zeng Yuezhen's life suddenly became leisurely. She still loved to dress up as she did when she was young. She wore dresses, dyed her hair black, and walked in high spirits. Her former co-workers organized parties or trips. , Zeng Yuezhen’s figure is always indispensable. She learned to use her smartphone to post these clips of her life online, and some sisters of the same age exchanged likes and attention with her.
Zeng Yuezhen and her husband were very loving. They fell in love freely while working in Xinjiang, and spent many years caring for each other. After being widowed, she lived alone for a while, and then lived with her children to help take care of her grandchildren. Nearly 20 years have passed since her husband passed away. Zeng Yuezhen still feels sad occasionally when seeing other people in pairs. In real life, there were friends who helped Zeng Yuezhen connect, but they failed in the end.
There is only one exception, and that is "Jin Dong".
In 2023, someone on the short video platform sent a private message claiming that he was the star "Jin Dong". "Jin Dong" kept calling "sister" one after another every day. Zeng Yuezhen gradually softened her heart and successively sent "Jin Dong" multiple small red envelopes and gave rewards in the live broadcast room to support him "to set up factories across the country." .
But Zeng Yuezhen quickly woke up and severed contact with "Jin Dong". She has experienced being defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars by financial scams. In this case, some victims, like Zeng Yuezhen, doubted the authenticity of "Jin Dong". Xie Haitao, the main criminal's attorney, has read the file. He said that some victims raised questions, "They said you defrauded me of my money and then ignored me." If they were suspected, the other party would send a "Jin Dong" ID card. ID photo.
Only Liu Peiling is the victim who is still addicted to this day.
Zhang Jinzhi has seen the chat records. The two people talked ambiguously, "Husband, wife, baby, has sister eaten?" They were getting along as if they were in love. Her mother updated her short video account almost every day, and sometimes it was a "co-production" with the fake "Jin Dong" account. The two appeared on the same screen, and Liu Peiling responded to what "Jin Dong" said one by one.
Sometimes they talk on the phone, but girls always answer the phone. No one has ever doubted that the fake "Jin Dong" sent a lot of red wine and ladies' ointment, claiming to be gifts, but these were not free. Liu Peiling paid more than 190,000 yuan.
After a long time, even relatives felt that something was not right with Liu Peiling. Someone told Zhang Jinzhi that his mother told everyone that she had met "Jin Dong" and "Jack Ma" and fell in love with "Jin Dong". Zhang Jinzhi said that everyone's logic is clear, "A star is young, handsome, and rich. If he falls in love with you, what does he want?"
But Liu Peiling doesn't believe anything she says. Once When someone mentions it, they get very emotional. The money was controlled by her son, so Liu Peiling asked her mother for money. The son went to report the incident to the police, and Liu Peiling quickly reported the matter to "Jin Dong". But at this time, things were far beyond the control of the two people. Xie Haitao said that the principal criminal wanted to return the money, but because Liu Peiling's bank card had been locked, the money was not successfully returned twice.
After "Dong Lai Ye" added the reporter on WeChat, he sent an ID card to prove his identity and guide reporters to invest in his charity activities.
The 8 girls behind the fake "Jin Dong"
In fact, in this case, the fake " Behind "Jin Dong" are eight women with an average age of less than 30 years old. Some of them are relatives and friends, some of them met while playing mahjong, and some of them make a living selling swimming rings on the beach. None of them have a high level of education, and the youngest among them is a girl born in 2003.
They set up a shell company called an e-commerce company, but it was actually a fraudulent company. They have a clear division of labor. Wang Mouyan serves as the boss of the company and is mainly responsible for paying employees and keeping accounts; Gao Mou is responsible for attendance, managing salespersons, etc.; Cai Mou is involved in teaching some members fraud techniques; in addition, there is also a person responsible for communicating with employees. The salesmen Li, Lin and others communicated with netizens. In the first month, everyone's salary is a basic salary. After that, they will not be given a basic salary, but will be given a fraud commission, which is 25% to 30% of the total amount.
Wang Mouyan once said that on the platform, they searched for "Jin Dong" to find some related users and follow them. These people tend to be women and range in age from 40 to 65 years old. They usually don't directly admit that they are celebrities in chat, but when the other party asks, they don't deny it and just say that I am their younger brother. Sometimes, they will also say a few words from time to time about "going to film" and "catch up with announcements" to make the characters realistic. Tao Chenyi, deputy director of the Criminal Tribunal of the Jing'an District People's Court, is the judge in this case. He said that in addition to speaking skills, salesmen will also download some male voice strips from the Internet to confirm their male identity.
Joining a fan club is often the first step, which requires paying a membership fee ranging from 100 yuan to 200 yuan. Next, they will also ask these middle-aged and elderly women to buy linked products, such as ladies' ointment, facial cleanser, and red wine. If they upgrade to become partners, they can also become agents of these products and divide the money. Xie Haitao has searched and found that it is difficult to guarantee the quality of these products. For example, a lady's ointment only sells for 10 yuan on the 1688 website, but it sells for 300 yuan on some platforms. The price difference is huge.
The next step is the ambiguity and confirmation of the "love" relationship. They tend to be very fast. In this case, an old man just praised "Jin Dong sings so well" in the comment area, and then received a private message. The other party proposed a love invitation in the name of "Jin Dong". On November 13, the old man received the message. I agreed to the other party on the 15th.
had many excuses for asking for money, such as breaking his leg while filming in Russia, or lack of funds to set up a factory in other places. Middle-aged and elderly women who are greeted with greetings all day often give generous gifts of money.
As for the meeting, it is an indefinite "painting". As a mysterious star, he can be in Beijing for a while and in Russia for a while. All contacts are postponed, "I will go to Shanghai to meet you in the future."
In the same county, there are many similar scams going on. Perhaps he was worried that others would get a piece of the pie. In this case, the defendant pretending to be "Jin Dong" also instructed the old man in the chat log, "You can't add people randomly. I'm really worried about you." For this reason, They also made up a secret code for meeting each other: winter melon, watermelon, cantaloupe, you are my little fool.
"Dong Laiye" took the initiative to send private messages to reporters in the comments to guide reporters to invest in his charity activities.
The fake "Jin Dong" is still active.
The platform has long been aware of such counterfeit accounts. On August 9, 2022, Kuaishou’s announcement on the management of counterfeit accounts stated that the platform found that some accounts pretended to be other people’s identities to attract traffic, maliciously increase followers, and even realize profits. So far, the platform has punished 280,000 counterfeit accounts.
Yet the scams are still happening. The reporter found that such videos are still being updated on the short video platform. Without exception, their names contain "Dong", the video picture is "Jin Dong", and in the background music a male voice calls "sister" and talks about love, and a large number of fans in the comment area express their condolences to "Dongdi".After
reporters commented on the account that posted Jin Dong's video for many days, a user named "Dong Laiye" sent a private message from the comment. His avatar was a photo of "Jin Dong" and claimed that he was "Jin Dong" , he would ask whether his "sister" had eaten or not, and say good morning in private messages.
"Dong Laiye" refused the reporter's request for voice calls and video calls due to busy work and the regulations of the brokerage company, saying "unless you participate in our charity activities." According to "Donglaiye", this project requires investment. The project introduction is a paragraph of text, "This activity is to help poor families, disabled people, poor children's education in poor areas, etc. It is led and supervised by the government. We have more than 20 front-line The celebrities each bring 100 fans to participate in the charity event, which lasts for 20 days. If you participate in the event, you will receive 500 yuan of income every day. Participants need to use 20% of the income to participate in charity. "Sister, this is a public welfare activity, and there is no name for it." "Dong Laiye" said that there is no need to sign a contract to participate in this activity. "My brother will guarantee you." You can also transfer money through Alipay. Use WeChat to transfer money. In order to increase credibility, he also sent an ID card with obvious traces of photoshopped pictures, which he later withdrew. Some similar accounts of
are also continuously updated on the short video platform.
A user named "Dongdi misses you" wrote in a video, "Dear Bao, you are the person I care about the most." There is a series of numbers posted below, which is the WeChat account of "brother". Accounts such as "Dongdi is waiting for you" and "Dongdongdi" tell a lot of love stories in short videos, and then intersperse products such as "Queen's Brand Pien Tze Huang Pearl Cream" and "Russian Imported Milk Powder" to guide people to place orders.
Han Ningmeng is still immersed in "Jin Dong"'s live broadcast room. She is in her fifties and works alone in Yanjiao, Hebei Province. The restaurant provides food and accommodation, and her monthly salary is 4,000 yuan. It has been more than two years since her husband passed away due to illness, and she always suffered from insomnia during the long nights. Lying on the bed in the dormitory, Han Ningmeng's only entertainment was watching short videos. After chatting with "Jin Dong" for more than two years, Han Ningmeng was also asked to invest money. She never dared to transfer money and gave rewards in the form of a few yuan.
On the short video platform, some fake "Jin Dong" accounts are diverting traffic
Jin Dong talks about "fake Jin Dong":
The platform cannot be blamed Let’s talk about the “fake Jin Dong” incident again during the interview. Jin Dong said that when thinking about the reasons behind it, the platform cannot escape the blame. "Didn't the platform realize that many people use the name Jin Dong to communicate and publish information? I don't think so." He said that after careful consideration, he proposed He has proposed legislation on digital platforms and hopes to increase supervision of online platforms from a legal perspective. "This will also be beneficial to the physical and mental health of minors." He added.

On November 8 last year, actor Jin Dong posted on Weibo that he had received reports on the "fake Jin Dong incident" from dozens of friends. I can’t help but wonder what exactly have online platforms brought to us in recent years? Convenience in life and work, information communication, convenience in communication, economic income, resource sharing, changes in thinking, etc. There are many benefits, but what about the negative problems it brings? No one pays attention to the fragmented information that is manufactured to attract attention and is difficult to distinguish between true and false, complicated rumors flying all over the sky, video output without any substantial content, gaudy content, monopolized industries, etc.

Jin Dong said that the Internet platform has brought many negative problems, and any progress should not be at the expense of a country's fine quality, tradition, and foundation. This is not only a personal issue, it is a social issue in which we all live together. It is an issue where we must at least keep our bottom line. It is an issue that concerns each of us.
People's Daily Online once commented:
The "fake Jin Dong incident" is a "pig-killing plate" on the Internet
It is worth noting that as early as 2020, there were media reports that a 61-year-old woman was exposed to "Jin Dong" through a short video platform ", got in touch with the other party, and even ran away from home to meet "Jin Dong".
On October 13, 2020, Jin Dong’s studio issued a statement stating that Jin Dong has not opened an account on short video platforms such as Douyin, and that the account in question is fake and is suspected of infringing Jin Dong’s portrait rights and name rights. The studio will take legal channels Hold accountable. The occurrence of
-related incidents has repeatedly triggered discussions among netizens on topics such as "caring about the psychological problems of middle-aged and elderly people" and "giving parents more care and companionship".
In November last year, People's Daily Online commented that the "fake Jin Dong incident" was actually a kind of online "pig-killing plot". Scammers used illegal means to set up fake accounts, fake celebrity identities, and used sophisticated chat skills to satisfy people. The emotional needs of netizens gradually cultivate their trust in "Fake Jin Dong", and finally induce netizens to transfer money under various names such as "investment, charity, support, love" and so on. Taking the "Fake Jin Dong Incident" as an example, the reason why a large number of middle-aged and elderly female fans easily become "tools" for scammers is largely because the scammers accurately focused on their lack of spiritual sustenance, emptiness in life, and lack of ability to distinguish network information. Due to the weakness of poor ability, scammers easily break through the fans' defense line by using pictures, texts, videos and greetings that suit the fans' browsing preferences, causing them financial damage and mental frustration.
commented that with the development of network technology, technical means such as AI face changing and AI voice modification have also further upgraded online fraud. By using and processing downloaded celebrity photos, videos, and voice-changed audio, scammers can more easily Forging identities in order to gain people's trust to obtain sensitive information, money, or other personal benefits is often difficult to identify. The "Internet User Public Account Information Service Management Regulations" clearly mention that malicious counterfeiting, counterfeiting or misappropriation of organizations and other people's public accounts to produce and publish information content is a violation of regulations. At the same time, the actor fabricates himself as a celebrity to defraud the victim. Making the victim have a wrong understanding and delivering property based on the wrong understanding constitutes a crime of fraud, and it is also an infringement of the celebrity's portrait rights.
