Behind the scenes**
On May 31, 2022, Ms. Ni from Liuyang received a domestic stranger**,The other party claimed to be a "customer service staff" of JD.com, saying that the annualized rate of Ms. Ni's "JD Gold Bar" exceeded the standard, and if it was not processed in time, it might incur more costs. Because Ms. Ni did use the "JD Gold Bar" business, she believed it after learning this information.
After gaining Ms. Ni's trust, the "customer service staff" asked her to cancel the account, but the premise of cancellation was that she needed to withdraw the small loans in her micro loan, China Construction Bank, Minsheng Bank, etc., and transfer all of them to the safe account designated by the other party for verification.
According to the requirements of the "customer service staff", Ms. Ni took out her online loan step by stepAll 90,000 yuan was transferred to the account designated by the other party. When she informed the other party that the last remittance had been completed and requested to verify and cancel the account, the other party quickly hung up**. When Ms. Ni called back the other party's number, it showed that the number was empty. At this time, Ms. Ni realized that she might have been the victim of telecom fraud, so she immediately called the police**.
After investigation, fraud is dialed out by a virtual dial-up device gateway machine (GOIP) randomly matching virtual numbers, which can be remotely controlled by overseas fraud gangs, but the fraud must be successfully implemented in LiuyangThe gateway must be set up in Liuyang, and someone is responsible for specific management. According to this direction of investigation, ** soon locked down a hotel in Liuyang City.
Some people have been in the hotel for a long time, but they never stay, only come over occasionally, and ask the hotel not to clean. Through secret investigation, a mobile power supply, a router, and a gateway machine were seized in the guest room, and all of them were in work"This is the local 'call room' set up by domestic cooperating personnel for overseas criminal gangs, and setting up a channel for overseas gangs to carry out fraud." Five men were acting for personal gainReduced to electric fraud**Soon, through the deployment of control and squatting, Wang Mouzhong, who came to maintain the equipment again, was arrested, and 52 cards of various types were seized on the spot.
In the face of ironclad evidence, Wang Mouzhong truthfully confessed the facts of his crime of helping an overseas fraud gang and setting up a local communication channel for profitHe also took the initiative to confess to a criminal gang that had been lurking in Changsha for a long time to cooperate with overseas fraudsters to carry out telecommunications fraud.
It turned out that in February 2022, Wang Mouzhong met an upline He (fugitive) who claimed to be committing fraud in Myanmar through the Internet, and then agreed to set up a gateway machine in Liuyang for him with his high remuneration. Soon after, He invested 70,000 yuan to purchase 3 gateway machines from Dong Moutong and Liao Mouxiong, and asked Wang Mouzhong to open a room in a hotel in Liuyang and install it. For this single order alone, Wang Mouzhong made a profit of 5,000 yuan. After review, it was found that Wang Mouzhong not only reached an installation agreement with an overseas upline with a daily salary of 3,000 yuan, but also reached an equipment maintenance agreement with Dong Moutong and Liao Mouxiong with a daily salary of 800-1,000 yuan. From March 23 to March 27, 2022, Wang Mouzhong set up communication channels for the online line in many places in Liuyang City, making illegal profits of nearly 10,000 yuan, and Dong Moutong and Liao Mouxiong illegally made nearly 4,000 yuan respectively.
With the arrest of Dong Moutong and Liao Mouxiong, Yuan Mougang and Yu Mougang, who went offline, also surfaced.
Dong Moutong and Liao Mouxiong originally operated the first sales software in Changsha, and found that overseas telecom fraud gangs had the need to use gateway machine equipment, so they fell in love with this business opportunity. According to the police handling the case, after the two contacted the channel, they purchased the gateway machine from the second-hand platform and sold it at a higher price, and the income was divided equally.
After receiving the ** of the two, Yuan Mougang and Yu Mougang also concocted the same method, purchased gateway machines from Dong Moutong and Liao Mouxiong, and set up communication channels for overseas fraud gangs in Wangcheng District, Liuyang City and Changsha City, and illegally profited more than 6,800 yuan. Five people were convicted of fraud and "aiding trust".Sentenced in the first instanceFrom June to July 2022, Dong Moutong, Liao Mouxiong, Yuan Mougang, and Yu Mou successively surrendered to Liuyang**.
The court held at trial that the defendants Dong Moutong, Liao Mouxiong, Yuan Mougang, and Yu Mou clearly knew that it was a telecommunications fraud crime, but provided communication technical support to upstream telecommunications fraudsters, and collaborated with upstream fraudsters to defraud the victim's property by fictitious identities and requiring the victim to transfer personal loans to a designated account for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount was huge, and their acts constituted the crime of fraud;Defendant Wang Mouzhong clearly knew that others were using information networks to commit crimes, and provided them with communication technical support, the circumstances were serious, and his conduct constituted the crime of aiding information network criminal activities, but given that the five defendants were able to truthfully confess the facts of their crimes after they were brought into the case, and voluntarily admitted guilt and accepted punishment, they may be given a lighter punishment in accordance with law.
Accordingly, the Liuyang City People's Court sentenced Dong Moutong, Liao Mouxiong, Yuan Mougang, and Yu Mou to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one year to one year and two months for the crime of fraud in the first instance, and sentenced Wang Mouzhong to seven months in prison and a fine of 5,000 yuan respectively for the crime of aiding information network criminal activities.
Liuyang Public Security reminds
Be on the alert!Don't be reduced to wire fraud**!
If one clearly knows that others are using information networks to commit crimes, but still provides them with technical support such as Internet access, server hosting, network storage, and communication transmission, or provides assistance such as advertising and promotion, payment and settlement, it will constitute the crime of aiding information network criminal activities, and if the circumstances are serious, it may also constitute the crime of fraud.
Attention!
Don't believe this kind of scam!
