On January 22, 2024, Chen was prosecuted by the People's Procuratorate of Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone on suspicion of fraud, and was finally sentenced to 11 years and six months in prison and fined RMB 50,000 by the court. This seven-year-long ** makes people wonder why it has not been recognized? Seemingly successful people may just be unscrupulous people hiding behind the internet.
At first, Chen worked for an online stock recommendation company and added the victim Zhang as a friend through the social software WeChat. He used a fake identity to pretend to be a successful woman "Qi Yu", claiming that he was the company's CEO and partner, and he could take the other party to invest. Through chatting with the victim, Chen easily gained the trust of the other party.
Zhang, who was lured by Chen to place a bet, bought rapeseed oil, ugin and iron on a mobile phone app, and lost more than 10,000 yuan in total. Chen lied that he had inside information and promised to help Zhang place bets at the same time as he bought it. However, Chen deliberately delayed the time and ultimately failed to purchase it. After this incident, Chen began to ask Zhang for more money under the pretext that the company had problems. He kept making up lies and defrauded Zhang of more than one million yuan of property in seven years.
In order to convince Zhang of his identity, Chen used his mother Wang Li's ID card to collect money, but when Zhang saw the word "Li" on the receipt of payment, he became suspicious and asked Chen to provide his ID card. Chen sent Zhang an ID card with half a "Qi Li", but this was actually a fake certificate that he spent dozens of dollars to find someone to make, telling the other party that his name was Qi Yu in the company and his real name was Qi Li.
Subsequently, Chen falsely claimed that his huge amount of funds were frozen by the bank, and defrauded Zhang of more money in the name of hospitalization fees, travel expenses, accommodation expenses, and dinner. Zhang said that more and more money was transferred to Chen before, and he was worried that if he did not pay the other party's request, the previous money would not be recovered. It wasn't until a friend reminded him that he might have been deceived that Zhang bravely reported the case. This ** lasted for seven years, and Zhang was almost bankrupt.
In October 2023, the case was transferred to the Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone Procuratorate for review and prosecution. After a thorough review of the evidence in the case, the prosecutor found that there was a dispute over the amount of fraud. In order to accurately sentence and convict, the prosecutor conducted a supplementary investigation and commissioned an audit investigation to confirm the amount involved. In the end, during the review and prosecution stage, Chen was determined to have defrauded 1.42 million yuan, and it was confirmed that all these funds were consumed and squandered by Chen, and were not used for the promised investment.
On January 17, 2024, the Procuratorate of Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone prosecuted Chen for fraud, and on the 22nd of the same month, the court made the above judgment after the trial, and ordered Chen to return the proceeds.
The revelation of this ** sparked a huge repercussion on the Internet. Many netizens were shocked and angry, and reprimanded Chen's behavior. At the same time, similar networks** have appeared repeatedly, which has made people wary and think about the importance of identity verification and how to protect their property.
This incident had a profound impact on society. First, it reveals falsehood and deception in the online world. Successful people are not necessarily real, they may just be disguised by criminals. Secondly, this incident has made the public more vigilant about investment behavior and increased the vigilance of the Internet. People pay less attention to and trust the so-called "successful people" on social networks. Finally, the incident has had a positive effect on the fight against cyber fraud and promoted the crackdown on cyber crime and the improvement of the law.
Similar cases of networking** have occurred in the past. Through false identities, false promises and other means, criminals defraud others of their property. This incident once again reminds people that the methods of online fraud crimes are diverse, and we need to enhance our awareness of prevention and be alert to potential risks.
For the impact of this network**, we need to be objective. First, it is a wake-up call for the public to be more cautious about online interactions and financial transactions. Second, it strengthens the fight against online fraud and serves as a warning to other potential criminals. Finally, it reminds people to be vigilant and raise their legal and security awareness.
In this online world full of uncertainty and risk, we need to be vigilant at all times, not easily trust the promises of strangers, and at the same time strengthen education on information security and legal awareness. Only in this way can we better deal with the Internet** and protect our property and rights.
