Marriage scams are common
Most of the deceived women
Not long ago, the Wuhan police announced a fraud case that was carried out by means of "killing pigs".
One morning in March this year, Xiaofang was playing Momo, and a man who claimed to be "meeting and laughing" offered to add friends. The other party claims to be Huang, 36 years old, does decoration business, has a house and a car, and often goes abroad. With a move in his heart, Xiaofang added QQ and chatted very speculatively, and soon established a couple relationship on the Internet. After that, Xiaofang entered Huang's trap step by step and began to play gambling. After tasting the sweetness, Xiaofang believed in Huang Mou and borrowed 360,000 yuan from his parents and friends to recharge the website provided by Huang Mou. However, when Xiaofang made a lot of money and was ready to withdraw cash, she was rejected by the platform. Xiaofang hurriedly contacted Huang, but the other party disappeared and the website login was abnormal. Xiaofang woke up like a dream and realized that she had been deceived.
As early as April 20, 2018, the Anti-Fraud Center and Jinxian Police Station in the Central District of Jinan City received a telecom network fraud case.
The alarm person, Ms. Zhang, said that on the morning of April 13, 2018, she met a netizen named "Heart is waiting" through her dating site while playing her mobile phone at home. The person claimed to be a native of Jinan and worked as an engineer in a Shenzhen-based technology company. After the exchange, the two established a love relationship without meeting. Five days later, the netizen told Ms. Zhang her account number and password on the Grand Lisboa website and asked her to help with the "Chongqing Shicai" betting operation on this platform. Later, Ms. Zhang made a total of 100,000 yuan. After gaining the trust of Ms. Zhang, the other party asked Ms. Zhang to register an account on the Grand Lisboa website for the betting operation of “Chongqing Shishicai”. Ms. Zhang has recharged the registered account 3 times and made remittances 8 times in 3 days. When she found out that she was deceived when she withdrew her account, she reported the case.
According to the "Legal Daily" reporter, the above case is just the tip of the iceberg of marriage and fraud.
Wang Li (pseudonym) from Shaanxi Province is 32 years old and is often urged to marry at home. She once registered an account on the dating site in 2016, and met a man who has caused her pain so far.
"His name is Liu Jun (pseudonym), which is different from others. He does not raise money with me and takes care of me. I feel very natural when chatting with him." Wang Li told the "Legal Daily" reporter, perhaps because of this, and then Coupled with Liu Jun's crazy pursuit, she had confidence in Liu Jun and finally agreed to his proposal.
But Wang Li did not expect that Liu Jun's wife found her when they were preparing for the marriage room. It turned out that Liu Jun already had a family and a child who was in junior high school.
"But I didn't know that he was a married person at all. The information on the dating site showed that he was single and unmarried. Liu Jun also insisted that he was never married." Wang Li is suffering from Liu Jun's deception and false information on the website. Endless. Later, Liu Jun disappeared completely.
Li Hong (pseudonym), who is studying for a master's degree at a university, has also encountered a marriage scam.
In December 2019, Li Hong met a handsome man on the social app Tantan, which is her favorite type. When the other party asked if they could add WeChat friends, Li Hong agreed without hesitation. One day later, Li Hong discovered that the photo of the other person's head may not be his own. When she said her doubts, the other party replied that someone had used his picture. More than two months later, the man confessed to Li Hong, and Li Hong agreed. In April of this year, the man claimed that his mobile phone was lost and had no money to buy it. He borrowed 3000 yuan from Li Hong to buy a mobile phone, and promised to return it to Li Hong. On the second day when Li Hong lent him money, he Li Hong blackened.
"3000 yuan is not a small sum for a student, it is my living expenses for the last 3 months. After the money was deceived, I dare not tell my parents." Li Hong said that since then, she has been afraid to Believe in others.
Disclaimer pass on risk
Neglect to manage true doubts
Talking about the reasons for the frequent occurrence of marriage and scams, Zhang Xianxian, a lawyer from the Hubei Yingchu (Donghu New Technology Development Zone) law firm, said that some people are liable to fraud because of credulous false information. So he caught his life. There are several reasons why these scams occur frequently: First, with the accelerated pace of life, busy work, narrow communication, high economic pressure, and lack of credible and effective friendship and friendship channels, a large number of single men and women have the need to "get out of order".
"Secondly, the negligence of marriage and dating sites or dating platforms has led to the proliferation of false member information, which has allowed fraudsters to take advantage. Finally, China’s current laws and regulations on network management lack relevant provisions for online marriage fraud, such as the rights of registered members. The legal basis, the responsibility and compensation methods of marriage and dating sites or dating platforms, etc., which lead to users who encounter online marriage and fraud, it is difficult to have the applicable laws to protect their rights, resulting in marriage and dating sites more fearless." Zhang Xianxian said.
According to Zhang Xingshui, director of Beijing Jingding Law Firm, the content of marriage and dating websites and dating platforms are almost all “exemption clauses”, which transfer the risk responsibility to consumers. Therefore, consumers often have difficulties in defending their rights when encountering marriage and fraud. However, because of the incomplete and untrue information of many users on marriage websites or dating platforms, other users are unable to provide information about criminals when they encounter frauds. It is difficult to defend their rights and cannot be held accountable to related platforms.
According to Zhang Xingshui, many marriage and dating websites and dating platforms are neglected for management and for profit purposes. What's more, in order to retain users, many platforms even use false information to attract consumers. Photos are fake and personal information is fake. This leads to the proliferation of false member information, giving fraudsters an opportunity. "Although many registered users of marriage and dating platforms now provide identity authentication information, on some websites, users still use vague and false information, and some even operate within the platform to provide false information to attract and deceive consumers. "
The platform must be cleaned up without delay
At the source, curb violations and dishonesty
Zhang Xingshui said: "It is urgent to clean up the marriage and dating platform and strictly promote the real-name authentication and real-name registration system. For the real-name online and network operator's registration identity information review obligations, the law has clear requirements for this."
According to the provisions of the Network Security Law, if the network operator violates the relevant provisions of this law and does not require users to provide real identity information or provide related services to users who do not provide real identity information, the relevant competent department shall order corrections; refusal to make corrections or serious circumstances If a fine is imposed, it may impose a fine of more than 50,000 yuan but less than 500,000 yuan, and may be ordered by the relevant competent authority to suspend relevant business, suspend business for rectification, close the website, revoke the relevant business license or revoke the business license. Responsible personnel shall be fined not less than 10,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan.
"This legal weapon has strong coercive force and deterrent effect. Supervisory departments can use this legal weapon to force marriage and love websites to enhance self-discipline awareness and strictly abide by the legal bottom line of strict review." Zhang Xingshui said.
In Zhang Xianxian's view, the dating website has an obligation to review the information filled out by the user registration. The marriage and dating platform and the user belong to an intermediary contractual relationship. If the victim believes that there is false information or misleading information in the marriage and dating website, and interacts with the user of the website, encounters fraudulent marriage or suffers property or personal damage, he should first contact Infringer's claim.
"If the claim is unsuccessful, the marriage and love website should bear the corresponding civil liability and perform the obligations of the intermediary in the intermediary contract. The victim can also sue the marriage and dating platform." Zhang Xianxian said.
Zhang Xianxian believes that marriage and dating sites should strengthen the information verification of registered users, and use a variety of auxiliary methods such as big data and platform guarantees to minimize the probability of violations of the rules. It may be considered to introduce a dual authentication mechanism similar to Apple ID account authentication to share user data resources with other Internet platforms such as WeChat and Alipay in the future. For some unverifiable information about the current marital status, income, etc., the marriage and love website should be notified in a prominent position, and it cannot simply circumvent its obligations through "risk tips".
In Zhang Xingshui's view, on the one hand, the marriage and love platform must strengthen supervision, resolutely investigate and deal with serious violations of trust and breach of trust, purify the online dating environment, and promote the progress of the entire marriage and love website industry; on the other hand, it must also increase its own "software" and "hardware" investment and strengthen management , Strengthen the system construction of network integrity management, on the premise of protecting customer privacy, and doing a good job of security precautions, promote the real-name system of member information, online communication and offline supervision go hand in hand to ensure the authenticity, reliability and safety of customer information, and restrain marriage from the source The website violated the rules and breached the trust and chaos, built a "magpie bridge" for "lovers", and promoted the healthy and orderly and benign development of the marriage and love website.
Internet matchmaker should not be biased
Alarm in case of violation
So, for consumers who have a need for marriage and love, how to prevent encountering a dating scam?
Zhang Xingshui suggested that consumers with marriage and love needs should enhance their legal awareness, improve their screening ability, and be cautious and rational in their consumption. You cannot blindly believe in the “matchmaker” on the Internet, and all actions that presuppose “paying fees” should be taken with special care. Raise awareness and do not easily disclose personal information, including work place and home address. Don't rush to meet, spend more time online asking questions to each other, keep good evidence, and pay attention to whether the information is inconsistent.
Zhang Xianxian also mentioned that you must choose a website with a good business reputation and a high user threshold in the industry to register. In the process of dating, you should pay special attention to personal safety and property safety. When encountering large amounts of consumption, you should check it calmly and check the information with the marriage and love network platform. Do not make financial expenditures when the two parties have not met. When meeting with a marriage partner, you should choose a public place and invite your family and friends to accompany you. If you encounter illegal violations, you should call the police in time for help.
In addition, Zhang Xianxian said: "It is not realistic to completely eliminate marriage and fraud by relying on the platform alone. To solve the problem of fraud on marriage and marriage websites requires multiple platforms and cross-industries. The marriage and marriage websites should jointly strengthen information authentication with relevant departments, such as civil affairs departments and Marriage registration agencies can provide citizens’ marriage information to the website within the scope permitted by law. The Ministry of Civil Affairs can work with relevant units to build a unified national marriage registration information query platform to ensure that marriage websites and matchmaking service agencies can effectively screen clients’ marital status, etc. information."
