His wife’s departure took away Wang Yang (pseudonym)
His last illusion about family life
He began to search frantically on the Internet
Ways to win back his wife
At this time
The emergence of the "emotional recovery master"
brought hope to Wang Yang
But Unexpectedly, a "hunt" has already begun...
On December 30, 2021, the Shanghai Jinshan District Court held a public hearing to pronounce the verdict on the "Emotional Recovery Master" fraud case, and 55 defendants including Xiao and Wang The people were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 11 years to four months of detention for fraud, with four months of probation, and were also fined from 200,000 yuan to 2,000 yuan.
The court hearing of the case
The short video advertisement met his needs
A few minutes later, a teacher Y who claimed to be a "gold medal emotional analyst" took the initiative Contact Wang Yang by phone to inquire about the situation. Wang Yang confided the long-suppressed depression in his heart, as well as his wife's indifference, cheating, and running away.
For 40 minutes, Teacher Y listened to Wang Yang’s emotional confusion and made “professional” comments: “Your wife has been accumulating negative emotions for many years and cannot release them.” “You don’t understand what she really wants. What is it?" and further stated that "emotional recovery will allow you to regain your life." After saying this, Teacher Y talked about his "brilliant" record: "I have handled seven or eight similar cases, and the probability of successful recovery is above 92. Your hope of getting back together is very high."
"Then what should I do now?" Wang Yang became more and more excited as he listened. Teacher Y said that the company has specialized emotional experts, all of whom have psychological counselor certificates, and will formulate specific solutions. The consultation fee for a month is 3,888 yuan. Wang Yang hesitated when he heard that there was a fee. Teacher Y immediately sent photos of the company's qualifications, office environment and honorary banners through WeChat to prove that the company was formal and legal, and further induced: "There is a golden opportunity to recover, you need to be professional What's more important, a marriage or a little tuition?" Wang Yang thought twice and paid a consulting fee of 3,888 yuan, and the two parties signed the agreement.
After upgrading the service, the relationship still cannot be saved
The picture comes from the Internet and has nothing to do with the text
After payment, Teacher Y said that there will be a special expert group to We will discuss Wang Yang’s situation, negotiate and formulate the best recovery plan, and select the most suitable mentor for Wang Yang to provide emotional recovery services. Subsequently, Teacher Y established a WeChat group of 9 people for Wang Yang, including analysts, consultants, customer service, customer complaints, etc., all of whom provided services to Wang Yang.
Soon, the "professional" Teacher Tian came online as the "preferred person". The first step in the "recovery plan" he proposed to Wang Yang was to disconnect, "Don't take the initiative during this period. I have contacted her, and in a few days you can send her flowers, buy a small gift, and create little surprises for your wife from time to time." Then, Teacher Tian sent a love type scale and student information form, asking Wang Yang to fill it out truthfully. I will push some chicken soup for the soul articles from time to time. A few days later, Wang Yang sighed to Teacher Tian: "The effect of giving gifts is not obvious, she still ignores me."
Teacher Tian suggested that he upgrade the service. After the upgrade, they can adopt "two-way counseling" To promote recovery, they will create a fictional character and provide psychological counseling to Wang Yang’s wife through WeChat to help repair her emotions. Under Teacher Tian's inducement, Wang Yang upgraded his service and paid an upgrade fee of 10,500 yuan. When signing the contract, Teacher Tian emphasized that the content of the "counseling" would be confidential to everyone, including Wang Yang himself.
After a few days passed, Wang Yang couldn't sit still: "Teacher Tian, ??what does my wife say now? Is she willing to look back?"
"There has been progress, but The specific situation cannot be disclosed yet." Teacher Tian asked Wang Yang to wait patiently and refused Wang Yang's request to view the chat history.
Almost a month later, Teacher Tian told Wang Yang: "It's a bit troublesome. Your wife has a deep relationship with a third party. If you want to save it, you need to upgrade the service again." He said that the company could take some measures The method of separating from the third party was to pretend to be a virtual character to contact the third party to achieve his breakup with Wang Yang's wife. This time, Wang Yang still chose to trust Teacher Tian. He upgraded the service and paid an upgrade fee of 20,500 yuan.
Later, the good news did not come, and Teacher Tian seemed quite embarrassed: "Your matter is more complicated, and we need to use our gold medal separation director." When I found out the price was 35,000 yuan, Wang Yang was silent, "I really have no money..."
After calming down, Wang Yang thought about it carefully. In more than two months, apart from receiving some chicken soup-like articles, there was nothing. No matter what service I received, I didn't see any recovery effect. This is more like a scam.
He was not the only one who was deceived
Wang Yang was not the only one who was "hunted" for lovelorn people. Xiaoyu, an 18-year-old high school student, also pinned his hopes for reconciliation on "emotional recovery" after falling out of love. "Master", because she could not afford the consulting fee of 2,880 yuan, the analyst suggested that she borrow money from Huabei. In the later consultation session, Xiaoyu followed the advice of her emotional mentor and carefully wrote reflections and summaries. However, what she got in the end was that her boyfriend blocked her.
In May 2021, the Jinshan Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau received a report from Niu. Niu claimed that he had encountered institutional fraud to save his relationship with his girlfriend. After receiving the report, the Jinshan Branch launched investigation work and arrested the suspect in Shandong.
The defendants Xiao, Wang and others in this series of fraud cases established psychological consulting companies to recruit employees who did not have corresponding professional knowledge and abilities, package them as emotional experts, and use company training or The "speaking skills" are taught in the old-to-new way, and advertisements are released online to attract victims. First, employees falsely claim in the name of "analysts" that the company has a professional team and business capabilities that can help victims solve their emotional problems, and promises that the company can help victims solve their emotional problems during the service period. It has a high probability of restoring the victim's emotions and collects fees in the name of service fees after gaining the victim's trust. The victim is then induced to the service department, where employees conduct online chats in the name of "consultants." The "consultants" launch related businesses that the company has not actually carried out and is unable to carry out, such as through third parties, on the grounds of improving the recovery rate. The technology is implanted into dating software such as WeChat where the customer needs to win back the target, and understands the relevant dynamics of the target; through virtual characters, the current boyfriend or current girlfriend of the target is contacted, so that the victim can break up with the third party if the target wants to win back; or use Victims are required to extend the service period for various reasons and are induced to continue signing contracts and making payments. Among them, the defendant Wang and others defrauded more than 300 victims of more than 2 million yuan through the above methods; the defendant Xiao and others defrauded victims of more than 1.7 million yuan through the above methods.
