Mondo Social Updated on 2024-01-31

From the beginning of this year to September, a staggering 68 cases of telecommunications network fraud were cracked across the countryFrom 90,000;Also during this period, the northern part of Myanmar also put 310,000 suspects were handed over to our side for trial;In order to better protect the safety of everyone's property, our ** also persuaded and stopped 13.89 million people on various occasionsAs for the money that was defrauded, after our emergency interception, we successfully avoided the risk of being transferred, and the total amount reached an astonishing 328.8 billion yuan!In addition, we are also working non-stop to formulate a new system for joint punishment of telecom network fraud and related offenders, and look forward to issuing it as soon as possible and soliciting opinions from the general public.

In response to the hateful criminal act of wire fraud, all localities and departments across the country are going all out in 2023 to crack down on and prevent it through law-based governance, multi-party joint interaction, and comprehensive policies, which has made this work fruitful.

Right now, those are fighting"Industrial parks"or"Science and Technology Parks"The super-large criminal syndicates, which are engaged in fraud, have hid overseas and formed a huge network of cyber fraud, which has become a necessary part of our crackdown on telecom fraud criminal activities, just like a tumor that has been cut off.

As recently as September, the Ministry of Public Security and the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department have been directing and dispatching, with the participation of public security authorities in Xishuangbanna, Pu'er, and Lincang, and they have launched a series of joint crackdowns with relevant law enforcement agencies in Myanmar.

Ming Guoping, Ming Julan, Ming Zhenzhen and others, who played an important role in the telecommunications fraud group in the Kokang Autonomous Region of northern Myanmar, were finally arrested, and they were all handed over to my country's public security organs to deal with, and that Ming Xuechang chose to commit suicide to escape because he was afraid, and for a time, many fraud dens abroad were accurately eliminated, and the leaders of more than 10 telecommunications fraud gangs were publicly wanted....Such a series of crackdown measures made overseas fraud syndicates instantly quiet a lot. So far, law enforcement agencies in northern Myanmar have handed over a total of 31,000 telecom fraudsters to our side, including 63 behind-the-scenes "financiers", organization leaders and key members, and 1,531 online fugitives.

Since the beginning of this year, especially from January to October, more than 34,000 criminals have been prosecuted by procuratorial organs across the country for suspected telecom fraud, which is nearly 52 percent higher than the same period last year.

Zhang Xiaojin, director of the Fourth Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, mentioned that the political and legal organs have recently taken a strong crackdown on cross-border telecom fraud criminal groups, and a large number of people engaged in fraud and criminal activities abroad have been arrested in China, so we can see that the number of prosecutions involved in telecom fraud cases will continue to show an increasing trend in the future.

Some of the previous arrests have even led to a decline in the number of telecom fraud cases in some regions. For example, Haikou City, Hainan Province, has seen a decrease in cases for four consecutive months since August this year compared to the same period last year, and the average number of cases per day has dropped to single digitsIn Jiaxing, Zhejiang, the number of cases that also occurred in September and October also fell sharply compared with the same period last year, with the average number of cases breaking out every day dropping from more than 30 to more than 10.

Since the beginning of this year, the number of telecom fraud cases has decreased by 17 compared to the same period last year6 per cent, while the number of suspects caught increased by 5 per cent6%。Wang Dawei, captain of the anti-fraud center of the Tongliao City Public Security Bureau in Inner Mongolia, said, "The Ministry of Public Security has cracked down on telecom fraud crimes against China in northern Myanmar, which has led to a continuous decrease in the number of telecom fraud cases in the city, and a significant increase in the number of foreign suspects arrested." ”

When the Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Law came into effect on December 1, 2022, we knew it would become a powerful weapon against wire fraud. Our reporter went to the Haikou City Police Station and found that since this thing came out, the proportion of criminal coercive measures taken in those local cases involving telecom fraud has dropped from 48% last year to 33% this year, and the number of people who have been subject to administrative punishment has also increased from 58% has soared to 27% today.

This administrative penalty is a stern warning to those participants who have committed minor mistakes, but have not yet committed crimes"Huang Yuewen, the little brother of the police officer of the Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Center of the Haikou Municipal Public Security Bureau, said proudly.

Over the past year, the police uncles have relied on this new "Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Law" and fined 21 in one go050,000 person-times. It is mainly aimed at illegal trading, renting, and so-called black market equipment, such as GOIP"Cat pool"These ghost things, as well as taking the ** card, bank account, payment account and Internet account in their hands for others to use, and even giving them identity verification and fake identity to open a card and open an account.

The set of administrative punishment measures mentioned in the "Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Law" has really produced a great deterrent effect on those related "black and gray industry" illegal acts;Of course, we can't ignore the fact that the procuratorate prosecuted the crime of aiding and abetting, although this is still a lot, but the growth rate has slowed down. According to the data of the *** procuratorate, from January to October this year, procuratorial organs at all levels have filed a total of nearly 11The 50,000 gang crime lawsuits increased by nearly 13% compared with the same period last year, but the growth rate decreased by a full 2 percent compared with the same period last year2 percent.

In accordance with our "Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Law", the public security department and the relevant leading agencies discussed a new method called the "Measures for Joint Disciplinary Action against Telecom Network Fraud and Related Violations and Crimes" (tentative name) in November this year, and publicized it to everyone through various ways to listen to their opinions.

This unfinalized punishment method clarifies what to do with those who have committed wire fraud and related crimes and have been sentenced to prison or have been criminally punished, and what to do with those who have been punished by the public security department at or above the county level. These penalties include, but are not limited to, restricting access to the financial industry, cutting off mobile phones and the Internet, and sometimes even including their information in our credit database in the financial sector. For those who have been held criminally responsible for committing wire fraud and related illegal acts, this is the three-year "mantra" they must face in their lives;Those who are punished by the public security departments at or above the township level will need to go through a two-year blockade.

This time, our disciplinary measures are announced for what kind of people and what kind of behavior we intend to take, and we hope that everyone can understand that if you do this kind of thing, then you must bear the corresponding legal responsibility. A person in charge of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security explained.

Since the beginning of the 'broken card' operation, some fraudsters began to find a suitable bank card or card, so some people took the risk of taking out their bank cards and cards to sell to others under the money. Sun Wei, executive director of the Investigation Center of the Jiaxing Municipal Public Security Bureau, told us: "These joint punitive measures will help improve the integrity of our society, and remind those who want to cheat some money, and then take out their bank cards and ** cards to sell those people, you should be careful not to become a crime!"”

In order not to let these punishments be too harsh and affect people's lives too much, the tentative punishment draft has also made special arrangements, such as: your payment account can still be used to pay or withdraw cash in your hand, and you must leave at least one ** card in your hand that has not been involved in the case for the time being, etc., which ensures that the basic living needs of those who are punished will not be greatly affected.

You see, this scene happened on February 20, 2023, let me tell you, the anti-fraud center in Kunming received a report from enthusiastic citizens who came forward to call the police**, and they told the police that they may have encountered fraud**. Don't blink!The police who received the scene reacted quickly and directly sent the suspected fraudulent ** number to China Telecom Kunming Branch for investigation. How?With the power of technology, the telecommunications department only took 3 minutes to find out all the information of the head of the account of this number. Seeing this, I have to give them a big thumbs up!Immediately afterwards, the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department also gave them a fixed-line clue, and both numbers were located in a hotel in Chenggong District, Kunming City. As a result, the Kunming Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately launched an operation, arrested 4 suspects in one fell swoop, and also found 3 GOIP devices and 3 routers.

Here I want to tell you that such efficient results are entirely due to the fact that our public security department and large companies such as telecommunications, China Unicom, and China Mobile have jointly established a working mechanism for rapid verification of clues related to fraud. Xiong Meng, a police officer at the Kunming Anti-Fraud Center, told me: "As long as we do this, we will be able to find and eliminate the illegal dens in a short time." ”

Speaking of the endless e-fraud techniques and tricks renovated, all localities and departments are working together to become "anti-Japanese heroes" and constantly seeking new tactics and technical methods.

Looking at the overall situation of the country, in the past year, we have been doing better and better in the matter of source control, and the overall joint force has become stronger and stronger. For example, the country. The Office of the Departmental Joint Conference of the State Council for Cracking Down on Newly Generated Illegal Crimes Arising from the Telecommunications Network has carried out dynamic rectification in eight key areas involved in fraud in response to the conspicuous problem of source supervisionThe Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has also stepped up its efforts to enforce enterprises' anti-fraud responsibilities and held five inspections covering 22 large telecommunications and Internet enterprises across the countryThe People's Bank of China has even tightened industrial control, successively conducted special law enforcement inspections on 17 organizations, and tightened its own main responsibility.

In this regard, Chen Tianhao, deputy director of the ** Legal Research Center of the School of Public Policy and Management of Tsinghua University, summed up for us that in the past year, cross-field and cross-departmental cross-cooperation in cracking down on governance has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in the next step, we need to establish a long-term and continuous collaborative treatment mechanism in order to keep up with the pace of changes and escalation of criminal methods, and effectively prevent and curb telecommunications fraud and illegal crimes.
