"You give me 500 yuan first, let me see if you are sincere."

When you send such information from an online dating object you have never met on the dating APP, you must be careful. This is probably a "new trick" for telecom fraud. At the end of 20 16, in a huge telecom network fraud case uncovered in Guyuan city, Ningxia, the police found that this telecom network fraud gang set up a fraud team in the form of pyramid schemes, mainly through the dating APP under the guise of "making friends" and "falling in love", and defrauded single youths. The police reminded that we should be cautious about online marriage and making friends, and don't easily believe the financial requirements of friends under the pretext of "meeting expenses" and "treating acute diseases".

Online dating encounters fraud.

Blacken after transfer

Tan Xin (a pseudonym), a post-90s boy from yuqing county, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, has been working in an industry and trade company in Xiamen since graduation. With the growth of age, the pressure of urging marriage at home is increasing. 20/kloc-in may, 2006, Tan Xin, who wanted to end her single life as soon as possible, decided to try online, so she registered as a member on "city dating network".

"It didn't take long for a girl on this website to chat with me and add my WeChat. She told me that she is also from Zunyi, Guizhou, and works in the factory opened by her brother in Guyuan, Ningxia. After that, I have been chatting through WeChat, and I can basically talk about dozens of articles every night. " Tan Xin said.

After constant chatting, the two gradually got acquainted. "Later, she took the initiative to tell me that she was 22 years old and single. She wanted to fall in love with me and said that she would come to Xiamen to meet me. I agreed. But she also said that she wanted to come over but there was no fare. Let me give her a fare. " Tan Xin said.

Tan Xin had some doubts at first, but failed to withstand the repeated persuasion of his girlfriend, and finally transferred 1000 yuan to the other party through WeChat transfer. "After the account was transferred, we chatted for a while. When I sent her a message the next day, I found that she had blacked me out, and I realized that I was cheated. " However, due to a small loss of face, Tan Xin did not call the police.

However, not everyone is as "lucky" as Tan Xin was cheated 1000 yuan. Across the country, more than 2,000 people have encountered similar deception, and a victim in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province was defrauded for as much as 50,000 yuan. After the alarm, Jinhua police handed over the clue to Guyuan police. After careful investigation, at the end of 20 16, Guyuan police successfully smashed the fraud gang in Yuanzhou District of Guyuan City, arrested two suspects 1 12, and seized more than 400 bank cards and mobile phones 172.

Marriage APP becomes "entrance"

Magic sound mobile phone is an "artifact"

According to the police investigating the case, this fraud gang is responsible for daily life management and teaching fraud skills. Gang members use dating websites and apps such as dating bar, lovers network, Lily network and Jiayuan to collect information about single male victims, contact the victims through WeChat and QQ, pretend to be unmarried single women and "fall in love" with the victims, and then swindle the victims by asking for meeting fees and treating acute diseases.

In order to "fall in love" with many victims at the same time, the suspect also wrote a fraud script according to the different situations of the victims. In some fraud scripts seized by the police, the reporter saw that the criminal suspect first changed his WeChat avatar to a photo of a beautiful young woman, and then fabricated some poor life experiences to gain the sympathy of the victims. After confirming the relationship, he borrowed money under various excuses.

"I want to find you in the past. Can you lend me some money first? " "You give me 500 yuan first, let me see if you are sincere." This conversation can still be seen in the mobile phone used by the suspect for fraud.

Even if the suspect has been arrested, there are still victims who send WeChat and make phone calls from time to time in an attempt to contact their "online dating objects", and some even take the initiative to ask if they need money.

Among the stolen goods seized, the reporter also saw a mysterious tool. "This is a magic phone, use it to make a phone call, no matter whether the speaker is male or female, there is a sweet female voice on the phone. Some male criminal suspects pretend to be women to commit fraud. " Lu Yinbin, captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Yuanzhou District Public Security Bureau of Guyuan City, said.

The police investigating the case said that all the members of this fraud gang came from Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other provinces and regions, specifically deceiving foreigners. The victims are concentrated in the southern and eastern coastal provinces far from Ningxia. "According to the criminal suspects, they have' three don't cheat', cheating men don't cheat women, don't favor locals, and don't cheat extreme stubborn people. This reduces the possibility of victim alarm and police cross-provincial strikes. " Lu Yinbin said.

With pyramid schemes

Set up an anti-fraud team

The police investigation found that this fraud gang fully borrowed and integrated the way of MLM organization in its formation and management mode, and it is a fraud gang based on MLM organizational structure. The gang has a strict internal hierarchy and is divided into five levels from bottom to top: salesman, supervisor, director, manager and general manager. The gang implements dormitory-style closed management.

The reporter saw in the dens destroyed by the police that, like ordinary pyramid schemes, more than a dozen members of the rental house lived together and their living conditions were very poor. According to the police investigating the case, although gangs usually do not restrict members from going out, these people basically act collectively and supervise each other.

Lu Yinbin said that most gang members joined pyramid schemes and expanded their numbers by developing offline among relatives, fellow villagers, classmates and friends. After joining the gang, these people need to pay 3800 yuan to buy a so-called "product", and then continue to buy "products" with the proceeds of fraud. When the purchase quantity reaches a certain amount, it can be upgraded to the position of general manager.

According to the police, telecom fraud establishes and manages teams through pyramid schemes, which greatly improves the efficiency of criminal gangs. "According to the current trial situation, this gang should be established in 2065438+September 2006. Organizers went offline through pyramid schemes and quickly recruited more than 100 people from all over the country. This development and dissemination speed is very fast. " Lu Yinbin said.

Pu, deputy director of Guyuan Public Security Bureau, said that there is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up evidence collection and recovery of this case. The emergence of a new model of telecom fraud requires the public security organs to pay more attention to early prevention and crackdown, and also requires the general public to be vigilant. When making friends and falling in love online, the majority of single young people should be especially vigilant and not be carried away by "love". Be more careful in all situations involving capital transactions. Once you are found cheated, you should keep the relevant evidence and call the police in time.
