Recently, after careful investigation, the West Square Police Station of Kuancheng Branch of Changchun Public Security Bureau of Jilin Province successfully destroyed a telecommunication network fraud criminal gang in just seven days, arrested seven suspects and solved more than 80 series of cases, involving more than 400,000 yuan.
It is reported that on October 22nd, the police of the West Square police station combed and screened through the public security online platform to get clues. A woman surnamed Sun in Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province reported to the local public security organ that she had made a friend who claimed to be engaged in engineering in Wuxi through a well-known dating platform. After a week of chatting, the relationship between them became more and more intimate. Chen Mou also took the initiative to confess to Sun, claiming that he had bought a diamond ring as a gift and was going to meet Sun in Huai ‘an. However, Chen Mou claimed that he usually likes to drink red wine, but the plane was not allowed to carry it, so he sent a shopping link to Sun, asking him to "prepare" a few bottles of red wine to drink together. When he thought of the "big style" and the diamond ring gift that Chen Mou revealed in his usual chat, Sun was carried away by the sudden "love" and opened the shopping link without thinking, which cost 24,000 yuan. What she never expected was that after the arrival of five cases of red wine, Chen Mou had blacked out its WeChat and couldn’t contact it any more.
After preliminary investigation, Huai ‘an police determined that this was a typical case of telecommunication network fraud in the name of dating, so they entered the relevant information into the national anti-fraud platform after filing the case.
After screening, the police of West Square Police Station found that the delivery place of red wine in this case was Erdao District, Changchun City. Zhang Wei, the director, immediately assigned Yang Guang, the deputy director, to lead the police chiefs Zhao Dongsheng and Yang Dapeng to set up a task force to fully investigate this key clue.
Through inquiry, the task force locked the delivery express station of red wine in a very hidden old residential area in Erdao District. In order to get more clues, the police secretly guarded around the express station for three consecutive days, and sure enough, they found a pair of suspicious men and women who drove a black car to the express station on time every afternoon and sent boxes of red wine to all parts of the country. The task force then brought the two into the key screening line of sight. After further investigation and intelligence research, the task force mastered the information of two suspects and several gang members, and successfully locked the suspects in two hiding dens, one of which was the "office place" dedicated to telecom fraud and the other was the "warehouse" dedicated to living and storing red wine.
After investigation, the task force determined the organization structure, division of labor, modus operandi and activity rules of the gang, and made a careful arrest plan, only when the time is ripe.
On October 29, in order to wipe out the gang, the task force and the police were divided into two ways, and went to the two suspect hiding dens in Kuancheng District and Erdao District to wait for the net.
Yang Guang, deputy director of a route, led a team and secretly rushed to a residential area in Kuancheng District. Due to the early investigation, it was found that there was a monitoring probe outside the den and the people in the house were extremely vigilant, it was difficult for strangers to call the door open. In order to avoid scaring the snake, the police put on two sets of uniforms for the staff of the heating company and called the door open in the name of checking the heating pipeline. The police seized the opportunity and rushed into the room. They successfully arrested five suspects, three men and two women, who were chatting with the victim in front of the computer, and seized five computer mainframes used in the crime on the spot.
Zhao Dongsheng, another route police chief, led a team and found Cao and Qiu under a residential building in Erdao District. They made a decisive attack and successfully arrested two suspects, and found 30 boxes of red wine in their residence that had not yet been delivered.
So far, all seven suspects of the telecommunication network fraud criminal gang have been arrested. It was found through trial that since June this year, Cao and Qiu have gathered Qiao Mogang, Liu, Bao, Gao Mouxun, Li Mouxiao and others to form a criminal gang, purchased tools for committing crimes, defined the division of tasks, and Cao and Qiu trained gang members in "speech skills", mainly using a number of well-known dating platforms, pretending to be rich or successful men, and targeting single and divorced middle-aged women.
After trying every means to win the trust of the murdered woman, the suspect lied that he had bought a gift and was going to meet the other party by plane, but the plane was not allowed to carry liquid. So he proposed that the woman could help him buy red wine and send a shopping link displayed as "French Ramon Satellites Dry Red Wine", which was made by the gang in advance. They labeled the low-priced red wine bought in 20 yuan and disguised it as high-grade French red wine ranging from 498 yuan to 998 yuan per bottle. As long as the victim clicks on the link and successfully pays, the money will immediately enter Qiu’s personal account, and immediately after the success, the victim will be blacked out, and the principal couple and gang members will collect the money in the bag.
At present, the task force has preliminarily verified that the gang used the same means to defraud more than 80 women victims, involving 12 provinces and 38 cities across the country, involving more than 400,000 yuan. Now Cao and gang members Qiao Mogang, Liu, Bao, Gao Mouxun and Li Mouxiao have been criminally detained according to law, and another principal, Qiu, has been released on bail pending trial due to pregnancy.
The case is being further processed. (Reporter Liu Zhongquan)
