The Red Star journalist learned that in May 2020, after several months of investigation, the police in Dazhou, Sichuan Province discovered this mega-cross-border telecommunication network fraud group headed by Xia Mou and Sun Moguang. This case has also become the case of mobilizing the most police force and arresting the most people in other provinces at one time since the nationwide investigation of the "killing pig board" case.
The suspect was stopped by the police.
Thousand-person fraud gang:
Each person builds 300 WeChat to hunt down the victims.
According to police investigation, criminal groups headed by Xia Mou and Sun Moguang set up a number of fraud dens in Phnom Penh, Bei Bo, Guangzhou, Manila and other places in China from March 20 18 to June 2019, and defrauded domestic China citizens by means of investment and wealth management, involving more than 4 million yuan, involving nearly 10,000 members.
In view of the seriousness of the case, the large number of people involved, and the wide area involved in the arrest, the Ministry of Public Security directly supervised the listing.
According to the investigators, this case is different from the old routine of "killing pigs" in the past. Fraud gangs accurately target people with investment and financial needs. They use fake websites to divert investment and financial consultation, or buy consumer information with investment and financial experience, so as to establish WeChat contact first.
According to the suspect, the company requires everyone to establish at least 300 WeChat groups. After the victim is brought into the group, the daily task is to hold multiple mobile phones and chat with everyone in different WeChat groups in fictional identities to cultivate mutual trust. When the victims join the group chat and learn to exchange stock information seriously, they have become the targets of scammers.
Criminal suspects cooperate with each other and send a large number of false oral chats with stocks as the carrier every day. Two to three months later, a "lecturer" sings the stock market down, and then introduces a product, such as bitcoin or other virtual currency. Once an investor is attracted to the market, the swindler will transfer the victim's funds through false transactions, and then stabilize the victim on the grounds of 180-day closing trading period through the false App set by the fraud group itself, and then destroy the evidence and leave with the money.
The suspect was stopped by the police.
The biggest "pig killing" case in China;
Hide these fraud routines
From May 12 to May 14, 2020, under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security, Sichuan Public Security organized more than 3,000 police officers to go to 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) to carry out unified network collection operations, and 868 suspects were arrested. This case has also become the case of mobilizing and arresting the most police forces in other provinces at one time.
After a year's careful investigation, the case produced 1687 evidence file. At present, 559 people have been transferred and prosecuted, and nearly 100 million yuan of real estate and assets involved have been seized.
According to the police investigating the case, "killing the pig board" is the most common and destructive means of fraud at present. Generally, "killing pigs" are investment discs, some are gambling discs, and some are single rebate discs. And what are the routines for such fraud?
Step 1: Find the target through social software, self-media software, dating websites, etc.
Step 2: After adding you as a friend, I will establish emotional communication with you, care for you in every possible way, and open up his so-called circle of friends to you. In fact, his circle of friends is fake, which makes you attracted by his image and life.
Step 3: Tell you that he invested in stock futures online, bought competitive sports lottery tickets, and made bets in gambling sites. Claiming that a good friend is familiar with the rules and has inside information, telling you that with his help, he will definitely make money in his spare time; But at the same time, it tells you that there are risks, so that you can invest a small amount first and make money every time.
Step 4: after you fully trust him, encourage you to make a large investment. At this time, you will see that your funds have been rising, but they just can't. He will use all kinds of excuses to make you invest more until you have no money to invest again, and he will pull you out of your sight.
According to the police investigating the case, in this case, the victims were all brought into the stock market through the drainage team, further luring the water army and "teachers" played by the suspects, and then opening a live broadcast room to teach and brainwash. Next, the "teacher" led the team to join, using the false platform investment as a cover to increase the investment of victims, set the cycle, change the platform, and run away with money. After that, the original team continued to falsify.
The police reminded that it is a fraud to receive friends who call themselves "investment experts" and "investment platform staff" to pull you into platforms such as stocks and virtual currency for investment transfer. Meanwhile, online gambling is illegal and criminal. If citizens encounter such fraud, please report it to the public security organ as soon as possible.
It is good to want to make money, but don't be blinded by money and fall into the routine of a liar. If you encounter something similar, you must report it.
