who transfers money for telecom fraud
At 10:00 on December 22, under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security, the public security organs in 24 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities including Beijing, Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, etc., simultaneously launched a centralized network collection operation to severely crack down on the "run-off customers" who provide transfer services for telecom fraud. "Illegal and criminal activities.
As of 17:00 of the same day, more than 490 criminal suspects were arrested and more than 12 million yuan of funds involved in the case were seized and frozen.
Since the beginning of this year, some telecommunications network fraud criminal gangs, in order to evade crackdowns and quickly transfer fraudulent funds, under the guise of "Internet sharing economy", hire technicians to develop network tools for transfer and money laundering, called "run points platform."
According to reports, on the one hand, the platform provides channels for fraud gangs to post illegal transfer needs, and on the other hand, it uses high commissions as bait to attract a large number of people to assist in the transfer of stolen money through the platform.
Members registered on the "Panfen platform" are called "Panfenke". They mainly assist in transfers by uploading personal payment QR codes and other payment account information. Their behavior has become an important link in the chain of telecommunication fraud crimes.
After investigation, when a telecommunications fraud criminal group needs to transfer the stolen money involved in the case, the transfer request will be posted on the "run-off platform" for "run-off customers" to grab orders.
After the "Panfenke" succeeded in grabbing the order, the fraud gang sent the QR code provided by it to the victim of the fraud and tricked the victim to scan the code and transfer the money to the account of the "Panfenke". Transfers at different levels of accounts, and finally to the designated account of the fraud gang.
In the process of transferring stolen money, due to the large number of accounts involved and the complicated flow, it caused difficulties for the public security organs in investigating and cracking down, recovering stolen money, and causing serious property losses to the victims.
It is understood that with the in-depth advancement of the "broken card" operation, various localities and various departments have attacked and defended simultaneously, launching a fierce offensive against illegal and criminal activities of illegally selling phone cards and bank cards.
It is more difficult for telecom fraud gangs to obtain phone cards and bank cards for crimes, and their methods of transferring stolen money have been greatly restricted, thus turning their "eyes" to "running sub-platforms."
In order to attract more "runners" to assist in the transfer of stolen money, the "runner platform" claimed that a commission of 1% to 1.8% of the corresponding stolen money will be issued every time a transfer is completed.
In the face of high commissions, more and more "runners" are involved, and even form gangs to commit crimes.
In response to the new characteristics and new situations of illegal and criminal activities of telecommunications fraud, the Ministry of Public Security organized research, judgment and analysis. Based on a large number of criminal facts and evidence, it deployed centralized arrest operations against illegal criminal gangs of "run-off" criminals, effectively combating such violations. criminal activities.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security stated that the centralized network collection for the "run sub-platform" and "run sub-customers" is an important measure to further promote the "broken card" operation and crack down on the illegal and criminal activities of the "two cards" across the chain.
The public security organs will continue to maintain a severe crackdown and high-pressure situation, make heavy strikes and take multiple measures simultaneously, and work with relevant departments to further strengthen source governance and disciplinary measures, make every effort to cut off the illegal trading of "two cards" black and gray industry chain, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people. social order.
At the same time, the public security organs reminded the general public to increase their awareness of prevention, fully understand the criminal hazards of the "two cards", and do not rent or sell their phone cards, bank cards, payment accounts, etc., to jointly maintain a good economic and social order.
