  From "raising pigs" to "killing pigs", behind them are full of telecommunications network fraud routines.

  A reporter from the "Rules of Law Daily" recently learned from the Fancheng Branch of the Public Security Bureau of Xiangyang City, Hubei Province that the bureau had destroyed a telecommunications network fraud gang that used "killing pigs" as its main modus operandi and arrested more than 300 people.

  "Once citizens relax their vigilance from the very beginning and fall into the trap by mistake, they will be "interlocked" by the scam created by scammers and cannot easily escape." said Zhang Jun, deputy director of the Fancheng Public Security Bureau.

"Pig Raising" in "Talking about Love"

  In August 2020, Ms. Li from Fancheng District made a male netizen.

The two met through trading idle items and added WeChat to facilitate communication.

Through chatting and watching the Moments of Friends display, Ms. Li found that the other party often talked about investment and wealth management related information, and had accounts and income records on multiple trading platforms, involving millions of dollars at all times, and she often showed off her income and had helped Many friends have survived the investment crisis.

  Such a generous and willing to help make Ms. Li gradually feel good about it, and this male netizen also launched a strong offensive against Ms. Li: he was cold and warm, and even cared for Ms. Li's children. He offered to meet and eat, and also asked for it. Give Ms. Li brand-name bags.

As the relationship heats up, Ms. Li's trust in male netizens is getting higher and higher.

  In mid-September 2020, a male netizen recommended to Ms. Li a platform "a certain investment foreign exchange financial management", and said that he had been investing on it, and the returns were quite good, and he wanted to make money with Ms. Li.

  After Ms. Li registered an account, under the guidance of the other party, she first tried to make two top-up investments, and both obtained a lot of benefits.

Subsequently, Ms. Li gradually let go of her guard, and successively transferred more than 758,000 yuan to the platform in less than a month.

  To Ms. Li's ecstasy, the platform account showed that the 758,000 yuan she invested had become 3 million yuan.

Seeing such a high return, Ms. Li wanted to apply for withdrawal.

But shortly after the withdrawal request was issued, the website of the investment platform could no longer be opened, and the male netizens lost contact.

  Ms. Li realized that she had been deceived.

On October 3, 2020, she went to the Wangzhai Police Station of Fancheng Branch to report the case.

After receiving the report from Ms. Li, the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Fancheng Branch immediately set up a task force, and with the support of the Xiangyang Anti-fraud Center, quickly launched the project to tackle the tough problems.

  The police investigation found that the male netizen’s IP address indicated that he was overseas, and that part of the money defrauded by Ms. Li went to different bank accounts in Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan and other places.

Deceive from abroad

  Fancheng police tracked and investigated, and locked Liu and other 4 suspects.

  In April this year, the task force conducted a key investigation of 4 people and found that Liu and others had returned to China.

Seizing the favorable opportunity, on April 14, the Fancheng police arrested Liu in Hunan; on the same day, another group of police arrested the suspects Dai and Chen in Xiamen, Fujian.

  Through the interrogation of Liu and others, the Fancheng police obtained important clues.

On April 16, the task force arrested two other suspects, Li and Guo.

  As more and more suspects surfaced and the locations involved in the case became wider and wider, the task force realized that this gang was different from the small-scale fraud gangs with only a few people in the past, and it was likely to be a large-scale organization with a huge organizational system. Scam group.

  The police intensified the interrogation of the arrested suspects and unearthed the "big gold master"-Dai XX behind the case.

At this time, Dai Moumou had already heard of numerous off-line arrests.

He immediately went to his hometown of Longyan, Fujian to hide, and looked for opportunities to smuggle out of the country.

The task force rushed to visit Dai's Tibetan village non-stop.

After a week of in-depth investigations, the police did not achieve significant results, so they listed Dai as an online chase target and continued their investigation in the village.

  On May 5, the task force received a notice from the Zhangzhou police in Fujian that it found that the suspicious fishing boat was most likely Dai Moumou preparing to leave the country. The task force immediately rushed to Zhangzhou and captured Dai Moumou in one fell swoop.

  At this time, 8 months have passed since Ms. Li initially reported the crime.

The police of the task force went to Huaibei, Putian, Hangzhou, Xiamen and other five provinces and seven cities, and finally solved this "killing pig pan" telecom network fraud case and successfully recovered more than 750,000 yuan that Ms. Li was deceived.

At present, 6 suspects have been detained under criminal law.

The police also seized 18 mobile phones, 2 computers, and 4 vehicles involved in the case, and frozen more than 3 million yuan in stolen money.

"Hidden Knife" in "Trap"

  As the interrogation deepened, the police's judgment that the fraud group was "not simple" was confirmed.

  Dai Moumou and Guo Moumou started scams in China.

As the domestic crackdown on telecommunications network fraud gradually strengthened, in March 2019, Dai and Guo planned and successively organized personnel to smuggle to Myanmar, and established a fraud company named "Xintai" in northern Myanmar. Created his own "fraud group".

  While the "fraud group" continued to engage in fraud, it has also been collecting members, expanding its offline, and expanding its scale. In a few years, 21 groups were set up with a total of more than 300 people.

  Dai Moumou became the "big gold master" of this den, Li Mo was responsible for bookkeeping, and Liu Mo was responsible for logistics.

The gang set up virtual IPs, continued to expand offline, and carried out fraudulent criminal activities such as "killing pigs" and "naked chats" against domestic residents.

  The police found that some of the workers in the gang organization made it clear: someone was responsible for wooing victims in the early stage and gaining trust through online chat; someone was responsible for recommending the so-called "investment platform"; and someone else played the role of the "beneficiary" who had successfully invested to relax the victim alert.

  In order to increase the success rate of fraud and avoid mistakes in the middle, the scam gang even hired professional and technical personnel to make fake websites and apps. All transaction pages and project increases involved are all fake, and the operations are completely controlled by the gang members.
