News**: With the vigorous development of online shopping, many new criminal methods have also emerged, a man uses online shopping and logistics cash on delivery, inspection and refusal to accept the way "Tanuki for the Prince" to commit theft. Recently, after the procuratorate of Maojian District, ** City, Hubei Province filed a public prosecution, the court sentenced Zhang to ten months in prison, suspended for one year, and fined 5,000 yuan for theft.
In December 2022, Zhang, who lives in Liaoning, added friends with Li, who sells turquoise, through a social platform, and among the many turquoise jewelry ** posted in Li's social space, he took a fancy to a string of turquoise beads priced at more than 70,000 yuan. Looking at the ** string of turquoise beads in the mobile phone, Zhang had an idea: if you customize an imitation string of turquoise beads, and at the same time buy the string of real beads, and wait for the express to send it to secretly adjust the package, and then refuse to accept it on the grounds of dissatisfaction, you can take the string of real turquoise beads as your own.
In February 2023, Zhang found Li and said that he wanted to buy this bead string, and after paying a deposit of 300 yuan, he learned in detail about the size, color and other details of the bead string, and asked Li to send a few more physical drawings of the bead string from all angles. In order to prevent "revealing the stuffing", Zhang customized a string of imitation turquoise beads in the name of his wife, and the color and weight of the imitation were almost the same as the real thing.
On February 11 of the same year, after the arrival of the real pearls, Zhang entered the post station when there were many people according to the prior plan, claiming to inspect the goods first, and quickly adjusted the package under the pretext of bad lighting, avoiding the camera and the courier's sight. Seeing that the courier didn't notice it, Zhang had the confidence to comment on the fake beads, and finally asked for a return on the grounds of "the wrong version". Subsequently, the courier repackaged the fake bead string in front of Zhang and returned it according to the process.
In online shopping, "return" is a measure to protect the rights and interests of consumers, and Li did not think much about receiving Zhang's return request. After the package was returned and the package was opened, Li was dumbfounded, the returned beads were completely different from those sent: the color of the imitation beads was obviously blue compared with the same batch of real turquoise in the store; The real turquoise beads are round, and the imitation is square; The gram weight when sent is 894 grams, but only 81 when returned3 grams.
We are very careful in the online sales of precious jewelry, and the goods will be recorded before being sent, and relevant certificates will be issued, which is a fake ...... at a glanceOn August 10, 2023, Li reported the case to the public security organs. After investigation, the surveillance ** showed that when Zhang checked the beads with his back to the camera, his hand took things from his pocket twice. On August 29, ** arrested Zhang and found a string of real turquoise beads in Zhang's house. On November 10, ** was transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution on suspicion of fraud.
After the Maojian District Procuratorate accepted the case, the procurator handling the case reviewed the case file in detail, sorted out the facts of the case, and conducted a full and detailed review of the case. An internal joint meeting was held to discuss whether Zhang's behavior was suspected of fraud or theft, and finally reached an agreement: Zhang did use some deceptive methods, but the secret theft was the key to Zhang's criminal purpose. On November 21, 2023, the court indicted Zhang on suspicion of theft.
Zhang truthfully confessed his crime in court, voluntarily pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, and actively compensated the victim's economic losses.
