However, there is recent good news that the police in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province successfully knocked down a fraud gang disguised as foreign exchange investment and financing, which is actually a stock killing pig pan, after preliminary investigation, the victims have more than 100 people, and the amount involved is as high as 320 million yuan!
Stock bond unexpectedly is all to support
In July 2020, Ms. Song met a wechat friend through the added stock group, and the wechat friend often communicated with Ms. Song about the stock market, saying that the current stock market was not good, and it was better to speculate on foreign exchange. Under the other party's introduction, foreign exchange speculation is a good investment money channel, it sounds simpler than stocks, and Ms. Song who believed it agreed to try.
Then, the wechat friend pulled Ms. Song to a wechat group, and through a link published in the group, downloaded a software called MT4 platform for registration.
At the beginning, the "teacher" in the group guided Ms. Song to choose to buy foreign exchange projects on the platform, and gave intimate guidance. Although it was only a tentative investment, Ms. Song felt that the foreign exchange investment was quite reliable, and then began to invest in the platform in September. More than 60,000 yuan was invested in the first deposit, but it directly suffered a total loss.
Under this, Ms. Song's confidence is completely lost, but all the people in the group comfort that the explosion is only a small probability of the problem, the chance of making money is greater. Ms. Song, who could not resist the temptation, still chose to continue to enter gold, before and after transferring 660,000 yuan to the platform! Then in late October, Ms. Song once again exploded, and the principal of 660,000 yuan was all lost.
In the same way, the so-called foreign exchange speculation group was pulled into the victim, Ms. Bin. She was skeptical about this group at first, but she could not help the profitable screenshots inside the group, and finally became tempted. In November, I found that my account had been blocked and I could not log in.
Many victims said that after losing money, they sent messages in the group to say that they had lost money, and the result was soon kicked out of the group chat.
Using "fake software" to set traps
From January to May this year, the Hunan task force, in conjunction with the Zhejiang police, launched a net capture operation, and went to many places across the country, arresting 22 members including the main perpetrators, 16 of whom have been approved by the procuratorate for arrest.
The police investigation found that the main target of the fraud gang was women in the stock group.
After investigation, in June 2020, the telecommunications fraud gang leader Bao Mou rented a fake platform that looks like foreign exchange trading MT4 through underground channels, and the software downloaded by the victim is a false software, not only can not withdraw cash, but the digital accounts on the software suspects can be manipulated at will. In the beginning, many of the victims made money, but in fact, it was also designed in advance by Bao and his team.
These so-called wechat groups are traps built by fraud gangs for victims, and almost all of the group friends are "virtual accounts".
Fraud gangs through the group designed to ask themselves and answer, to create a kind of victims now do not make money in the stock market, but make money in foreign exchange. Also often in the group to send some foreign exchange speculation to make money screenshots, in fact, these screenshots are also produced by the fraud gang. After luring the victims to download the forex speculation software, they try small amounts of money first.
Li Yi, a police officer from Hetang Public Security Bureau in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, said that when the victim let down his guard, the gang members lured him to increase the amount of investment. The pattern of fraud gangs is: small amounts will let them withdraw cash to the account, and large amounts will directly eat it. In the end, the fraud gang caused the illusion of investment loss through the combination of intentional guidance and the background operation of the false platform, and took the funds invested by the victims as their own.
