More than 8,000 people were deceived of 140 million yuan in "counseling fees" for believing in "opening a store without threshold"

　　The Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau of Jiangsu Province recently disclosed a new type of online fraud case involving up to 140 million yuan.

The gang involved cast a wide net with the bait of "opening a store without a threshold", and then defrauded "counseling fees" in the name of counseling to open a store, and even signed a contract with the victim.

The police sampled more than 2,000 victims, and only one person realized that it was a scam and called the police.

　　According to the information disclosed by the Nanjing Public Security Bureau, the gang operates in a corporatized mode, with 4 branches, and the company also has departments for promotion, sales, teaching, and operations.

The gang involved in the case first promoted it on various online platforms with "no threshold to open a store" to attract victims to open a store on its website, and then defrauded "counseling fees" on the grounds of counseling to open a store.

The "one-to-one" tutoring package is divided into four grades, including silver, gold, diamond, and crown, with prices ranging from 4,580 yuan to 12,880 yuan.

　　After the case was solved, the criminal suspects explained that the company's so-called gold teachers had only elementary and high school education, and the successful cases they showed to the victims were also forged.

Most of the shops opened by the victims online ended up being closed or closed.

　　According to the Nanjing police, the means of committing the crime in this case were concealed, and all links were interlinked. The gang involved in the case even signed a standard contract with the victim.

The transaction involved in the case amounted to 140 million yuan, involving more than 8,000 victims across the country.

The police sampled more than 2,000 of them and found that only one person realized that it was a scam and called the police.

　　On May 12 this year, Nanjing police dispatched more than 800 police forces to completely destroy the gang involved and arrested more than 450 suspects.

At present, the main suspects of the gang have been approved for arrest, and the case has been handed over to the procuratorate for handling.
