Detected a Chinese-based fraud group “Kakeko” Aichi Prefectural Police October 3, 14:00

Based on a Chinese condominium base, a phone call for fraud was made to Japan, and the Aichi police headquarters caught up with the fraud group “Kakeko”, etc. I understand. A similar incident was also caught by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department last month, revealing the fact that the bases of scam groups are expanding in China.

According to the investigators, unemployed in Shizuoka City, Susuke Ono (48) named Otoshi Otoko in October as a member of the National Bank Association, and told a woman in his 80s in Tokyo that “the bank card was used illegally. "I'll keep it."

Ono is a “kakeshi” who makes a fraudulent phone call based on one room in a condominium in Yanji, Jilin Province, China. He had been arrested for suspected fraud after he returned to Narita Airport in August.

The police have so far arrested five people including “Kakeko” of the group and “Recruiter” soliciting friends in addition to Ono suspects, and the damage amount is estimated to be 50 million yen nationwide.

A similar case based in China was also caught by the Metropolitan Police Department last month, revealing the fact that the bases of fraud groups are spreading in China.

The actual situation of overseas fraud sites

From the record of the cases of members arrested so far, we can see the actual situation of the special fraud group based in China.

Among them, a company employee in his 20s who was a member of the group and played the role of “Kakeko” was convicted in the Nagoya District Court for charges of fraud.

According to the person concerned, the reason why the company employee went to China was the writing “high-income work” found on the bulletin board of the Internet.

When I got in touch, I was invited to say “I have a job I can earn in China” and I went to China from Narita Airport with the air ticket I prepared.

When I arrived at the airport in Jilin Province, I got on a car and arrived at an apartment in Yanji.

Here the office worker is instructed by the Chinese to leave a passport or mobile phone.

One of the apartments was divided into several rooms, and when I saw multiple telephones and fraud manuals, I realized that it was the first “Kakeko” job.

In the condominium, a Chinese who can speak Japanese gave instructions, and several Japanese people who were not acquainted were calling.

I was able to sleep together in this room and go out from time to time for a meal, but there was no way to contact the outside and I received the reward when I returned to Japan.

The company employee said, “I was afraid that I had a connection with the scam group and I could not get out of it.”

Overseas bases one after another

There are a number of fraud group bases established overseas.

In March, a phone was installed in a luxury home in Pattaya, Central Thailand, and a group that had been fraudulent in Japan was caught. So far, 18 people have been arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department on suspicion of fraud.

Last month, the Metropolitan Police Department arrested 14 men who seemed to be sub-leaders of a group in Yanji, Jilin Province, which used to use a room in another condominium as a base for making fraudulent calls. It was.

As the detection of fraud group bases in Japan has been strengthened, it seems that there are many cases where “Kakeko” bases for making fraudulent telephone calls are located overseas where it is difficult to investigate.

Experts "Fear of increasing overseas bases"

Shinichi Ishizuka, Director of Ryukoku University Criminology Research Center, said that the special fraud group's base has moved overseas. However, if there is a base overseas, it will take time for procedures such as mutual assistance with other countries, so it is possible to escape before the investigation begins. The benefits are great. "

On top of that, “If cashless cashless use proceeds in Japan, there will be no need for a cash acceptor,“ Reiko ”, who is at high risk of being arrested. It is ringing.
