　　Followed by the "mentor" to stocks, resulting in less profits and more losses, all online checks are scammers.

　　After receiving the call, the Wuchang Police in Wuhan City, Hubei Province immediately organized police forces to investigate and successfully destroyed the fraud gang. A total of 13 criminal suspects were arrested and more than 120 mobile phones, 17 laptop computers and more than 20 bank cards were seized. Zhang recovered more than 1.27 million yuan in stolen money.

　　What made the police handling the case sigh is that the suspects played the role of instructor Jianqun to guide the "students" to invest. The group of 14 people, except the victims, are all entrusted. Sometimes the "mentor" also acted as a pretext to trick the victim into continuing to invest.

　Learn to stock scam

　　At 18:00 on May 17th, citizen Xiaojun (pseudonym) hurried to the Nanhu Street Police Station of the Wuchang Branch of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau to report that he had been cheated in online stock trading.

　　Xiaojun told the police that in April of this year, she added a WeChat friend named "Wu Shuangxian" to prepare to learn to invest in stocks. "Share Wu Shuangxian" pulled her into a WeChat group, and every day a live link to the stock analysis instructor was published. Xiaojun observed for a few days and found that the stocks analyzed by the "Lecturer" had risen, and some people had made money. In the live broadcast, the "Lecture Teacher" recommended a better platform for making money, and said that it can be done for free.

　　Hearing this, Xiaojun also wanted to give it a try. After signing up, she was pulled into a small group of only 14 people. Xiaojun added the two people who just joined the group as friends and asked about their experience. Both of them said that they made money, and they can also withdraw cash to let her play with confidence. But to recharge, you must contact the platform assistant, transfer the money to a private account, and the platform assistant will help you recharge.

　　Xiaojun operated according to the requirements. After downloading the stock trading platform, registering an account, and contacting the platform assistant to recharge, he began investing with the "teacher" and after making a few changes, he changed to a "more powerful mentor." The "Lecturer Teacher" told her not to worry, saying that she would take her to increase the amount of capital and make money back from the loss.

　　However, the same thing happened again, and Xiaojun lost a lot of money after earning a few times. She began to feel that something was wrong. Online search for stocks platforms found that some netizens posted that they were cheated by this platform, and the index that the "mentor" took her to do did not exist. Found that he was cheated, Xiaojun rushed to the police station to report to the police.

　　The investigation of the police handling the case found that Xiao Jun had invested more than 1 million yuan in succession, and his account still had more than 400,000 yuan, but he was unable to withdraw cash.

　Thousands of miles away

　　The police analyzed that the fraud encountered by Xiaojun should commit crimes for the gang. The division of labor among the gangs is clear and cooperates with each other. That night, the Wuchang Public Security Branch mobilized police to set up a special class, and under the guidance of the Wuhan Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Center, launched an investigation overnight.

　　After investigation, the investigative team locked the suspect in the location of the crime in Longgang District, Shenzhen. On the evening of May 16, the investigation team arranged four policemen to Shenzhen to find the hiding place of the fraud gang.

　　With the assistance of the Shenzhen police, the police quickly determined that the fraud gang was hiding in 4 houses in a community near Longgang Avenue, Longgang District, Shenzhen. After a day of squatting, the police determined that they had a total of more than 10 people. They usually did not go out, nor did they come to each other.

　　The investigation team decided to close the net. At this time, it was found that one of the suspects suddenly drove to Huizhou. The investigative team decided to send additional police officers to Shenzhen for support all the way, and to Huizhou on the other. On the evening of May 18, two police officers from the special class arrived in Huizhou and discovered that the suspect had returned to Shenzhen. The next day, the two policemen immediately rushed to Shenzhen to participate in the arrest of the fraud gang.

　　After research, the investigative team has developed an arrest plan based on the number of people in the room, first and last. At 11 o'clock on May 21, the police arrested 8 criminal suspects including Huang Mou, Ke Mou, Lu Mou, Yuan Mou, and Yang Mou from four rooms, and more than 120 mobile phones and notebooks were found on the spot. There are 17 computers and more than 20 bank cards.

　　According to Huang and others, the investigation team arrested three suspects in another room in the community. The police frozen more than 200,000 yuan of funds in the bank card according to law.

Play as a mentor

　　After Huang Mou et al. arrived at the case, the police of the special class immediately launched a review. The suspect explained that the gang leader Yumou was in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, and his "apprentice" Zhangmou was still in Shenzhen. On May 22, Yu and Zhang were arrested one after another.

　　Upon review, the police found that all 13 members of the gang had a college degree or below and had no previous experience in stock analysis. Since April this year, the group has frequently released stock analysis advertisements to trick victims into WeChat groups and live webcasting platforms, and pretended to be stock analysts to guide victims to invest in fake stock platforms.

　　From the perspective of the victim, the loss of funds is a normal investment loss, but in fact it is the illusion caused by the criminal suspects controlling stocks through the background. The criminal suspects call it "cutting leek."

　　The police also found that the division of labor among members of Yu's fraud gang was clear, and that Yu and Zhang were responsible for providing false stock investment platforms and renting houses. Huang and others acted as mentors and sailors to publish news in the group, dispelling the alertness of the parties and inducing them to continuously inject funds into the platform.

　　In addition, there are also people who are specifically responsible for "cultivation", that is, posting messages in the illegally acquired WeChat Moments, so that the parties cannot find anomalies through the WeChat Moments after adding WeChat friends.

　　In order to defraud Xiaojun, Huang et al. specially built a group of 14 people. Except for Xiaojun, the other 13 WeChat signals were all operated by gang members. They had to operate several WeChat signals by themselves. Huang, who plays the role of mentor, sometimes used the WeChat WeChat account to post false news within the group.

　　After work, the police handling the case recovered a total of more than 1.27 million yuan in stolen money. At present, 13 persons including Yu Mou and Huang Mou have been taken criminally compulsory measures according to law, and the case is under further trial.
