A mobile phone store came to a "local tyrant" customer.
More than 10,000 yuan for a **Apple mobile phone.
I bought 10 in one go.
And what's even more "howeary" is.
He didn't even bargain
The shopkeeper saw this.
My heart blossomed.
Take out the payment code immediately.
One hand for money and one hand for goods.
But the next day after selling the phone.
The boss's bank card was frozen due to fraud
I finally met a generous buyer.
Sell a mobile phone and freeze your bank card?
What exactly is going on??? this
Replay of the case
The arrogant buyer turned out to be a member of a money laundering ring
Recently, the owner of a mobile phone store in Xuzhou District, Yibin City, reported to the police that after selling 10 new Apple mobile phones to a young man, the bank card suddenly could not be used.
The Xuzhou District Branch of the Yibin Municipal Public Security Bureau received the report and quickly organized the police to investigate, and found that the bank card used by the man who bought the mobile phone that day was suspected of a number of telecommunications network fraud cases, and the more than 100,000 yuan he bought the mobile phone was all the defrauded funds of the victim of the wire fraud.
What is the intention of buying so many mobile phones with fraudulent funds?As the investigation deepened, the police found clues: the man used the fraudulent funds to buy the mobile phone and immediately sold the mobile phone through the Internet at a reduced price, so that the fraudulent funds were successfully "laundered".
After deep digging and thorough investigation, a criminal gang with a large number of people involved, fast transaction speed, and many provinces and cities across the country specializing in money laundering by purchasing ** mobile phones surfaced.
In order to wipe out the gang and break this chain of "black and gray production". The public security organs at the two levels in Yibin City set up a joint task force to investigate and handle the case, and successfully locked down the suspects Yuan, Guo and others, and mastered the organizational framework and operation mode of the gang.
After thoroughly studying and judging the relevant information of the key members of the gang, the special case group formulated a thorough plan for closing the net, and dispatched more than 40 police officers to Hunan, Jiangxi, and other places to arrest the main suspects involved in the case.
Up to now, Yibin** has arrested 52 criminal suspects, seized 41 computers, more than 130 mobile phones used for money laundering, and 10 brand new Apple mobile phones.
It is now ascertained that the criminal suspects Yuan, Guo and others were employed by overseas fraud gangs to engage in money laundering activities, and a total of more than 1,100 ** Apple mobile phones were purchased and sold, and the funds involved in the case were as high as more than 1,000 yuan.
Students in school were lured to buy and sell mobile phones to launder money
The case of money laundering by buying a mobile phone with the highest value and then selling it at a low price is not a case in our province. Recently, the Tianfu New District Branch of the Chengdu Municipal Public Security Bureau successfully cracked a money laundering case in which criminals lured college students to help buy high-value mobile phones and resell them at a low price with "high commissions", and arrested the suspect Zheng (19 years old, college student;In January 2023, he was released on bail pending trial by the public security organs in other places on suspicion of aiding trust), Zhou (male, 19 years old, college student), and Shen (male, 22 years old, college student).
After investigation, Zheng, Zhou, and Shen, under the lure of overseas fraudsters, used their bank cards to receive fraudulent funds, and then transferred the fraudulent funds by purchasing and selling mobile phones and profited from them, so as to achieve the purpose of laundering money for telecommunications network fraudsters.
It is understood that the criminal gang purchased and sold a total of 23 brand-new mobile phones, involving more than 20 yuan in funds, and colluded with dozens of telecommunications network fraud cases.
At present, the criminal suspects Zheng, Zhou, and Shen have been criminally detained in accordance with the law, and the case is under further investigation.
"Panda anti-fraud" warm reminder
Using new mobile phones on sale in stores as a medium to achieve "bleaching" of illegal funds through the method of buying high and selling low is a way of money laundering.
Article 312 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that constituting the crime of "covering up or concealing criminal proceeds" shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, short-term detention or controlled release, and/or a fine;where the circumstances are serious, a sentence of between three and seven years imprisonment and a concurrent fine is to be given.
At the same time, it is reminded that merchants who sell mobile phones should immediately call the police if they find that the buyer is abnormal in their daily sales activities
