"I crossed the border and climbed more than a dozen mountains, and I walked for several days to get there. ”

If you can't complete the task, you will be locked up in a small dark room, and your nails will be pulled, which is too painful. ”

It was guarded by armed men, and if you didn't obey, you would be beaten, and if you wanted to go home, you had to pay for it first. ”

Even now, when they recall the days when they were involved in the telecom network fraud of Myanmar's "Zongheng Group", these people still regret it.

Recently, the case of Jiang, Li and others who defrauded and illegally crossed the national (border) border was judged in the Minhang Court. Jiang and seven other defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one year and five months to three years and six months for committing the crimes of fraud and illegally crossing the national (border) border, and each was fined concurrently, and the illegal gains were recovered. In February and September this year, 16 defendants, including Tang and Chen, who had participated in the telecommunications fraud of the "Zongheng Group", were also sentenced one after another.

Desperate to Burma.

Li usually works odd jobs for a living, and his life is relatively poor. At the end of 2020, Li went to Chen's house as a guest. During the greetings, Chen revealed to him that there is currently an opportunity to make a fortune and can go to Myanmar to make money in the gambling business. He saw that Chen's clothes in front of him were very high-grade and the cigarettes he smoked were good, so he couldn't help but be moved, so he agreed.

On the same day, Chen asked Li for ID card information, and the next day he booked a ticket to fly to a city in Yunnan. After arriving at the airport, Li and other people who went to Myanmar to make money got into a van and headed to the China-Myanmar border. After waiting somewhere at the border for a while, Li saw 3 snakeheads with flashlights coming to answer. But what he didn't expect was that there were still the next few days of climbing mountains and mountains waiting for him.

Through the mountains and dense forests, under the leadership of the snakehead, Li and others finally walked to Myanmar when they were exhausted. "Originally, I could still take a car in the middle, but I heard that we were arrested when we went to the previous batch, so we had no choice but to climb the mountain. Li recalled that when he did not go to Myanmar, he saw a lot of anti-fraud propaganda along the road. Although he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, the idea of making "quick money" made him decide to make a desperate bet and continue to go in the direction of Myanmar.

As soon as he arrived in Myanmar, Li was transported directly into the park by truck. There are security guards with electric batons throughout the park, and there are armed men guarding the entrances. Li, who had just gotten out of the car, was forced to take away his mobile phone, and was later told that he was going to engage in telecommunications network fraud in the "Zongheng Group" next. After his dream of making a fortune was shattered, he decided to engage in telecom fraud driven by interests.

After entering the company, Li began to receive training to learn the "tricks of fraud", and the content of his daily work was to chat with all kinds of single women on the Internet, and the time to work was from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Can't bring his own mobile phone, lack of rest time, every time he goes to the toilet, he has to carry a heart, "If you go to the toilet for too long, you will be scolded by the leader, and if you can't complete the task, you will be locked up in a small black room." After a few days of training, Li was issued a mobile phone and began the road of fraud.

Packaged as "rich and handsome".

Novice "business", first learn "number raising". Creating a reliable persona in the circle of friends for a long time can not only dispel the other party's concerns, but also avoid being banned. A "salesman" like Li, after getting his mobile phone and WeChat account, will maintain the frequency of sending a circle of friends a day. As a "rich and handsome", decent professional experience, pleasant daily outings and gatherings with friends are the most common content they post.

At the same time, Li also needs to select the dating software in the application** and ask the team leader for the account of the corresponding app. After finding suitable single women, Li further chatted with them to cultivate relationships. From "little fairy" to "Baozi" to "daughter-in-law", the change of Li's address to the victim also represents the further deepening of the victim's trust in him, at this time he will wait for the opportunity to reveal to the victim that he has found an opportunity to make money: "Daughter-in-law, my cousin knows a loophole in gambling **, and he has already made a lot of money, you can use my account to try it first, can you get some wool." ”

In the beginning, victims often choose to invest a small amount of money or two to give it a try. After tasting the sweetness, many victims will increase their chips and continue to invest money under the inducement of these "salesmen", but the result waiting for them is to lose all their money.

The stage of pretending to fall in love with the victim to cultivate feelings and gain trust is generally called 'pig raising', the process of cheating money is generally called 'killing pigs', and the whole fraud method is called 'killing pigs'. At this point, Li has completed the closed loop.

But Li, who lacks experience in "killing pigs", often asks the team leader to help "kill on behalf of him". "I haven't cheated much, many times I find someone to 'kill on my behalf', and the higher the amount of money, the more commission I get. ”

is different from Li looking for someone to "kill on his behalf", Tang has long been familiar with fraud methods and words. In Tang's view, these single women are either young and inexperienced, or middle-aged and lonely and fragile, and can "tailor" themselves to be mature or simply infatuated. In order to make the chat content more realistic, Tang will also compare his real experience and cooperate with the fraud to "prescribe the right medicine".

However, Rao is Tang's "battle-hardened", and he didn't expect that he would really "fall in love" one day. After completing the "pig killing plate" fraud on the victim Qin, Tang took the initiative to contact Qin using real *** and confessed to him that he was actually in Myanmar and specialized in telecommunications network fraud, but now he has been in love with him for a long time and does not mind Qin calling the police to arrest him.

In February 2021, the victims Qin and Zhong reported that they added WeChat friends on a blind date app and developed a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and the other party asked them to bet on the gambling platform to make a profit, and later found that they had been deceived, Qin was deceived of more than 50 yuan, and Zhong was deceived of more than 300 yuan, and the two reported the case. The public security organs contacted the dating company to retrieve the background user**, and after the victim's identification and judicial appraisal, Tang was a man who chatted with him to defraud, and gang member Chen was a man who chatted with Zhong to defraud, and then the public security organs successively arrested Tang, Chen and other 5 people. A gang specializing in transnational cyber telecommunications fraud has surfaced.

After investigation, Tang, Chen and other 5 people belong to the "Zongheng Company", which is a fraud company entrenched in a park in Myanmar, and set up a fraud team in the form of direct sales and **, recruiting personnel to pretend to be successful people on the Internet, looking for women through chat software, and gaining the trust of the other party by making friends and chatting, and then tricking the victim to a number of gambling ** controlled by the fraud company to bet, and defrauding the victim of money by controlling the gambling ** background.

The data model solves the difficulties of cross-border telecom fraud cases.

It is difficult to collect evidence across borders, and it is difficult for the perpetrator to overturn the ......There are often many difficulties in handling cross-border telecom network fraud cases, and it is not enough to know how these fraudsters operate. In the course of handling the fraud case of Tang, Chen, and five others, in order to avoid the situation of "heavy confession and light evidence", the procuratorate actively guided the public security organs to collect key data and information, establish a criminal evidence model, and promptly collect relevant objective evidence, so as to effectively consolidate the facts of the case.

The procurator in charge obtained records of the whereabouts and tracks of several defendants, clarified the route and time of smuggling, and sorted out and analyzed the Wi-Fi data information of the defendants' mobile phones to clarify their overseas locations and times. In addition, in the face of the 2 victims identified in the first case, the procurator in charge guided the public security organs to transfer 28 victims through the comparison of data and information in related cases, and finally expanded the identification of 26 victims by carefully comparing the time of the crime and the overlap of the name of gambling**, and the amount involved amounted to 10 million yuan.

On the basis of comprehensively combing the defendant's confession, the procurator undertaking the case confirmed the defendant's overseas profits and time, conducted in-depth research and judgment on the basis of grasping the organizational structure and personnel composition of the criminal gang, promptly collected and fixed evidence of the crimes of other persons involved in the case, and expanded the scope of prosecution to more than 60 people.

From November 2022 to August 2023, the Minhang District People's Procuratorate successively prosecuted 16 people, including Chen, Tang, and Zheng, for the crimes of fraud, organizing others to illegally cross the national (border) border, and illegally crossing the national (border) border. In February and September of this year, Zheng and 16 other defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one year and ten months to seven years for committing the crimes of fraud, illegally crossing the national (border) border, and organizing others to illegally cross the national (border) border, and each was finedIllegal gains are to be recovered.

At the same time, the procuratorial organs have actively urged the public security organs to intensify their pursuit, and the remaining criminal suspects have been brought to the case one after another, and the case is being further tried.
