By purchasing WeChat and using chat skills, pretending to be a young woman and chatting with "male fans" to cultivate feelings, and then asking the other party to buy flowers at the designated online flower shop for reasons such as birthdays and holidays...Using this small "bouquet of flowers", the fraud gang defrauded more than 122 yuan in one year.
Not long ago, the Yunmeng County Procuratorate of Xiaogan City, Hubei Province prosecuted Teng Moumou and other 13 people for fraud, and after the trial, the Yunmeng County Court recently sentenced Teng Moumou to ten years in prison and a fine of 50,000 yuan for fraud; Qiu XX and 12 other defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of six months to three years for the crime of fraud, and all were given suspended sentences and fines concurrently.
Online dating girlfriend asks for flowers for her birthday
In November 2022, Xiao Zhi accidentally swiped a beautiful woman's ** on a certain ***, and then added the other party as a friend according to the *** below, the woman claimed to be named "Lili", a native of Jinhua, Zhejiang, and is currently working as a fashion designer in Ningbo.
How was your rest yesterday?" "Have you eaten?" Don't work too hard" "Although I am not by your side, thousands of mountains and rivers can't stop my concern for you"...
In these soft greetings and sweet words, Xiao Zhi gradually has a feeling of love. A week later, Lili suddenly said to Xiao Zhi that tomorrow was her birthday and she hoped to receive flower blessings.
I don't want red envelopes, red envelopes are too cheesy, I just want to receive flower blessings from you. "No one has ever given me roses when I'm so old, and I hope you'll be the first to give me flowers." Xiao Zhi happily agreed to Lili's "birthday wish", and buying a bouquet of flowers for the girl he liked not only satisfied the other party's wishes, but also did not cost much, which was the best of both worlds.
Subsequently, Lili sent Xiaozhi her own address, and also pushed him to an account called "Little Cute Flowers", and said that this flower shop was introduced by her best friend, and it was very close to herself, so it was good to order flowers here.
After Xiao Zhi added the account of this flower shop, the owner of the flower shop sent Xiao Zhi a variety of flowers, ranging from 68 yuan to 1314 yuan.
Xiao Zhi did not hesitate to transfer hundreds of yuan to this account to buy a bouquet of flowers, and left the address sent by Lili, so that the flower shop owner could send it to her directly on Lili's birthday.
Just when Xiao Zhi was immersed in the sweet dream of love, Lili, who received the flowers, became more and more cold to him, and later blacked him out. Xiao Zhi couldn't understand this, but he had no choice but to give up.
The "lover" who wants to spend is actually a fifty-year-old uncle
According to the prosecutor in charge, what Xiao Zhi didn't know was that the so-called "Lili" was not a girl, and the "protagonist" was actually an uncle over fifty years old; "Lili" is not a person, but the online incarnation of a fraud gang.
In 2009, Teng Moumou sold clothes on the Internet, but he never made any money. In 2022, Teng Moumou accidentally came into contact with online fraud, so he bought a computer and a mobile phone and started fraud.
Teng Moumou packaged himself as a young woman, and attracted victims to add WeChat through ** on the online platform, focusing on finding male victims, first through "flirting and scolding", "selling cuteness" and "intimate care" and other means to gain the goodwill and trust of the victims, and then asked them for flowers to commit fraud. Although the amount of money you get for each scam is small, the success rate is high.
After tasting the sweetness, Teng Moumou was ready to do a big job. He rented a house in Yunmeng City, bought a large number of mobile phones and computers for work, and recruited 12 employees to carry out the fraud. The 12 employees recruited by Teng Moumou were all introduced by relatives and friends, including a father and son, three couples, and only these three women, and the others were all men.
At the same time, Teng Moumou also managed employees with corporatized norms and formulated relevant rules and regulations. At the beginning of April 2023, Yunmeng** found that on the third floor of an auto decoration store in Yunmeng City, there was a suspected electric fraud den, and then an investigation was carried out, and the main culprit Teng Moumou was arrested on April 7, and the remaining 12 members were also arrested in the following more than a month.
On July 11, the Yunmeng County Public Security Bureau transferred the case to the Yunmeng County Procuratorate for review and prosecution.
After investigation, in order to efficiently complete the fraud business, the criminal gang carried out fraud in stages and batches, and usually completed a round of "harvesting" for the victims in about half a month.
The gang defrauded more than 1.22 million yuan a year
On December 15, the prosecutor introduced the gang's fraud process: the first step is to "attract fans", Teng Moumou will purchase the WeChat account that uses ** to attract traffic to the salesman, and the number of "male fans" in the account is generally 300 to 500 people, and the salesman uses the account to defraud; The second step is to "go through the process", the salesman pretends to be a beautiful female clothing designer according to the words and copywriting prepared in advance, chatting with the batch of male fans to cultivate feelings, and the chat cycle is about a week; The third step is "harvesting", when the time is ripe, the salesman asks the other party to send flowers to him on the grounds of birthday, festival, etc., and pushes the WeChat of the flower shop owner disguised by Teng Moumou in advance to male fans, and after receiving the transfer, delete or block the other party's account by diluting the contact. The above is equivalent to completing a round of "harvesting", and then the next round of male fan cultivation and fraud, and so on.
The target of their fraud is this bouquet of flower money. And the flowers purchased by the deceived people have never appeared. The prosecutor in charge said that because the amount of money defrauded was not much, and some people felt that the matter was "disgraceful", none of these victims called the police, which also led to the fraud gang led by Teng Moumou to continue to commit crimes for a year before the case was discovered.
In the process of handling the case, when reviewing the evidence, the prosecutor in charge found that the account that Teng Moumou used to receive fraudulent funds had a large number of transaction records in April 2022, which was inconsistent with the facts of the crime in which he confessed to start committing fraud in October 2022.
Although one person only defrauded a few hundred yuan or even dozens of yuan, after investigation and verification, from April 2022 to April 2023, the fraud gang led by Teng Moumou defrauded others of more than 1.22 million yuan in the above ways. The prosecutor in charge introduced.
In the course of reviewing for prosecution, after the procurator in charge explained the plea leniency system to the criminal suspects, all 13 criminal suspects in the case expressed their admission of guilt and acceptance of punishment, actively returned the stolen goods, and voluntarily signed a plea affidavit under the witness of the duty lawyer.
On September 11, the Yunmeng County Procuratorate prosecuted 13 people including Teng Moumou on suspicion of fraud. Recently, after trial, the local court found that the facts and charges charged by the procuratorate were established, and the amount involved in the case was accurate, so it made the above judgment.
