Prosecutors also reminded the general public to remain vigilant to avoid falling into the telecom network fraud trap.
According to reports, in recent years, the high incidence of telecom network fraud crimes has become one of the fastest rising types of criminal cases. According to statistics, in the past three years, Shenzhen's telecom network fraud crime has shown a high incidence as a whole, and 2019 is the year with the highest number of fraud cases. The number of cases handled by the city's procuratorial organs increased by 38.3% and the number of people increased by 139.6%. Beginning in 2020, the number of crimes helping information network crime activities has surged, with the number of cases increasing 53 times and the number of people increasing 42 times.
Four of the five typical cases published are closely related to foreign exchange, on the one hand, traders need to be vigilant about being defrauded by fake trading platforms, on the other hand, they also need to strengthen their code of conduct to avoid becoming fraud-related help letters.
Pseudo trading platform class
Pseudo-trading platform type telecom fraud is a cluster effect is characterized by a wide range of fraud cases, the amount of crime is particularly huge, the common seriousness of the circle is foreign exchange funds, "foreign exchange" as a gimmick of illegal fund-raising, the use of false foreign exchange platform as a shell, to attract a large number of investors to join, forming a pyramid scheme model.
For example, the "Huijin Exchange" 66 people's telecom fraud case belongs to this kind of case, and it is also one of the largest telecom network fraud cases handled by the Shenzhen People's Procuratorate in recent years. The defendants Liu Mayan, Fan Mouping, Yu and others and their agents purchased fake trading platforms (EC0, AMC and BANYAN fake trading platforms) software systems in the name of Shenzhen Huijinsuo Network Technology Co., LTD., without connecting with the real international trading market, closed virtual transactions were carried out inside the platforms. Illegal trading of foreign exchange, gold, Hang Seng Index, crude oil futures and other virtual products, defrauding investors of property, resulting in a particularly huge amount of economic losses for investors, involving more than 300 million yuan.
The "Huijin Suo" case is one of the largest telecom network fraud cases handled by the municipal Procuratorate in recent years. After trial, the defendants in the case were sentenced to more than three years in prison in the first instance, of which 25 were sentenced to more than 10 years in prison, and 41 were sentenced to three to nine years in prison, all of which were real sentences without suspension. Of the 66 defendants, 3 were convicted of illegal business, 1 was convicted of covering up, concealing the proceeds of crime and the proceeds of crime, and the other 62 were convicted of fraud, and the convictions were consistent with the charges in the indictment.
Online dating 'pig killing'
Online love "kill pig plate" telecom fraud is a kind of online dating to induce the victim to stock investment, gambling and other types of fraud, the amount of cheated is often large, in recent years with the development of Internet social is more and more common. Especially in the circle, killing pig plate is the most common way of fraud, although the scope of fraud is generally concentrated in Southeast Asia, but more and more crooks lurking in the domestic popular network social software, many domestic investors are also caught in such a scam.
For example: Since February 2019, 119 people including Zou Mujie have left the country successively to the Republic of the Union of Myanmar to join the criminal groups "The Strongest Team", "99 Company" and "Unknown Company", which are engaged in telecom fraud against mainland residents of China, respectively, and use telecommunications network technology to carry out telecom fraud criminal activities against mainland residents of China abroad. The division of labor within the three criminal groups is strict, and the mode of committing fraud step by step is adopted.
Specific modus operandi: Ordinary agents first log in to wechat, Douyin, Blued and other social chat software with mobile phones issued by the company to find the target of crime, make friends and chat with victims by fabricating false images of successful people, and then gradually gain the trust of victims and obtain their economic status by developing "love". After establishing a certain trust foundation, he lied to the victim that he knew the system vulnerability of a gambling website and could earn high profits. After investigation, Zou Moujie and other defendants defrauded dozens of victims of money totaling more than 25 million yuan through the above fraud means. The Baoan District People's Procuratorate filed a public prosecution in accordance with the law, and the Baoan District People's Court sentenced Zou Mujie and other 117 people to 12 years and 6 months to 1 year and 2 months in prison for fraud and illegal border crossing, and fined them.
Related to fraud: money laundering, help letter
Since the beginning of 2020, the number of fraud related letter crime cases has surged. In 2020, the number of approved arrest cases accepted in the city increased by 53 times compared with 2019, and the number of people increased by 42 times. In the case of foreign exchange fraud, it can be found that the last step of the fraud gang after making profits is money laundering, and the four sets of the black platform (ID card, bank card, mobile phone card, U shield) can not only help the criminal suspects disguise their identity to lure investors into gold, but also can be used to launder money.
Regarding the officially announced cases, Tianye Jun will not elaborate here, and we mentioned in the previous article: In the foreign exchange black platform flooding the market, these fraud-related behaviors need to be heavily regulated, which help information network crime is a cancer, these cards cheap to sell hundreds, and then through layers of price increases, a card can reach thousands, in the face of this huge interest, many people try the law, so the punishment of such cases is relatively strict.
Here, remind every investor to check the relevant qualifications of the foreign exchange platform before trading, do not get on the thief ship of the fake trading platform, and strengthen their awareness of friends prevention, do not believe any investment proposals from strangers, and finally suggest that investors must pay attention to information security, do not sell, lend their bank cards, let alone try the law, if suspected of helping crimes, Will be held criminally responsible!
