On February 25, the Jianxin Police Station of the Chongming Public Security Bureau received a report from a resident, Mr. Zhang, that his relative Yang had been borrowing money from him for more than a year on a series of reasons, and in order to repay the money as soon as possible, he and three relatives who had encountered the same situation had reluctantly lent money to Yang, lending a total of more than 100 yuan, but not paying back a penny. Mr. Zhang thought of the telecom network fraud case, and felt that it was the best way, so he called the police.
Yang went to the police station on February 27 to surrender. After interrogation, Yang admitted that he had committed fraud to four relatives on the grounds that he needed money to fight a lawsuit and that he needed to charge up his bank account to unfreeze his bank account.

According to the confession, Yang once had a decent job, and after making some money from online live broadcast investment, he simply quit his job and specialized in this type of investment, and in 2022, the investment will be lost, and his family will not listen to the persuasion after helping him repay his debts, and continue to invest, and the more he owes in the middle of economic disputes, the more he owes the debt. At the end of 2022, Yang tried to borrow money from relatives to make up for the hole, and the kind-hearted Mr. Zhang lent Yang 200,000 at once, and the other 3 relatives also lent him some. What Yang didn't expect was that the investment was unfavorable, and he was losing money all day long.
The relatives came to ask for debts when the repayment period came, and Yang had to think about coping with the relatives who lent him money. In April 2023, Yang came up with a two-pronged solution that would allow him to extend the repayment date and borrow more money from his relatives. At the end of that month, Mr. Yang told Mr. Zhang that an online platform company owed him a sum of money, and he wanted to sue the other party in a lawsuit, and if he won the money, he could get the money back, and if he had the money, he could pay Mr. Zhang back. After reading Yang's forged chat record with the lawyer, Mr. Zhang believed it to be true, and after Yang's begging, he lent him another 100,000 yuan for the lawsuit.
Two months later, Mr. Zhang asked about the progress of the lawsuit, and Mr. Yang took out a screenshot of the transfer that had already been forged from his mobile phone and showed it to Mr. Zhang. When Mr. Zhang saw that someone had transferred more than 1.3 million yuan to Yang's account, he felt a little more at ease, and asked when he could return the money to them, but Yang said that due to the last economic dispute, the account had not been unfrozen, and the money could not be withdrawn for the time being, and turned out a fake screenshot of a bank lock authorization from his mobile phone.
Mr. Yang asked Mr. Zhang and several other relatives to lend him some more money and charge the account with water, so that the account could be unfrozen and repaid as soon as possible. At this point, Mr. Zhang and several other relatives had no choice but to obey, and by the end of 2023, they were forced to lend Yang more than 70 yuan one after another, and the money was either used by Yang for additional investment or personal consumption.
At present, the criminal suspect Qian has been taken criminal compulsory measures by Chongming ** in accordance with the law on suspicion of fraud, and the case is being further tried.
