According to reports, when fraud gangs contact companies to buy apps through overseas social software, the company will immediately arrange "one-on-one" docking and provide "buyout" and "service" services. "Buy-out" will package and sell customized apps and related background data, and charge development fees ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, which will be maintained and operated by fraud gangs after sale.
"Service-oriented" means that after the development of APP is completed, the technology company arranges staff to carry out daily maintenance operations on its behalf, and the cost is generally more than 10,000 yuan per month. No matter what kind of service, technology companies provide 24-hour online consultation.
Fraud gangs can customize the name, cover and business section of the APP as needed, and even add so-called "news" that fraud gangs want victims to know. In fact, all APP kernels are an investment trading platform. According to the needs of fraudsters, on the surface, normal market data such as foreign exchange, futures, stock market and precious metals can be quoted separately, but the trading link gives the fraud gang the right to modify the data at any time to achieve the purpose of fraud.
Fraud gangs trick victims into clicking on links or scanning QR codes to download these so-called "regular" apps in various ways, and then use words to guide victims to repeatedly conduct virtual transactions through the APP platform, and take measures such as raising handling fees and modifying transaction data to make victims lose money or even force liquidation to defraud money.

The process of police arresting fraud gangs;
In September, 2020, the police in Changning, Shanghai received a report of a telecom network fraud case of investment and financial management: Mr. Wang downloaded an APP called "Dance of the New Year" and invested in foreign exchange futures according to the advice of the tutor in the WeChat group, and successively transferred it to RMB 1 1.5 million yuan, but it has been losing money.
After combing information and careful investigation, Changning police quickly locked in a fraud gang headed by Anhui Hu. This gang not only uses fake foreign exchange trading platforms to commit fraud, but also attracts "agents" by spreading advertisements through QQ and WeChat groups. Taking this as a breakthrough, Changning police tracked down six other fraud gangs in Jiangxi, Guangdong and Zhejiang, led by Yang and others.
