China News Service, Taizhou, March 19 (Fan Yubin and Yang Lingye) The reporter was informed on the 19th that the Dayang Police Station of the Public Security Bureau of Linhai City, Zhejiang Province uncovered an extremely large APP fraud case involving fake stocks, involving a total of over 20 million yuan.
Stable gains in stocks without losing? Old investors were "brought into the pit"
Xie, who lives in Dayang Street, Linhai City, likes stocks. He has been in the stock market for many years and has made some small money.
However, in the past two years, the stock market has fluctuated unpredictably, and Xie has been losing money.
In mid-November 2020, Xie received a call from a self-proclaimed employee of a securities company. The other party recommended a stock exchange group to Xie, claiming that there would be stock masters in the group to analyze stocks for free.
Xie wanted to spend no money anyway, so she joined the group decisively.
As soon as Xie entered the group, Xie immediately felt the "professional" atmosphere in the group: countless stock trading materials were sent in the group every day, and the group friends also exchanged enthusiastically.
Everyone chatted from time to time, saying that after following the stock market master for a year and a half, they have made tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars now.
After Xie was moved, he downloaded a stock software.
After New Year's Day in 2021, Xie followed the instructions of the stock market master in the group to operate on the stock index trading software many times, waiting for revenue with joy.
But the cruel reality is that every day he loses more and earns less, and sometimes he is forced to liquidate his position. Xie has lost 86,000 yuan in just 2 months.
However, looking at the discussion of everyone in the group, they still shouted "earning".
"Could it be that I did something wrong?" Xie didn't dare to question the master, and kept looking for reasons in himself.
It was not until February 8 that Xie was suddenly kicked out of the stock exchange group. She realized that she might have been deceived and hurried to report to the local Ocean Police Station.
The police arrested the suspect Xu Chenbo
Police incarnate as a takeaway brother to investigate the facts
After the incident, the Linhai Police set up a task force to investigate.
The task force started with the flow of funds, and when looking up the flow of funds at the fourth level, it was found that more than 80,000 yuan of funds involved in the case had flowed into the accounts of two Lishui nationals and were taken away in Lishui District, Lishui City.
The police from the task force rushed to Lishui City to investigate in early March.
Soon, the police confirmed the identity information of the two Lishui nationals and the withdrawal, and found that they were both employees of the same cultural communication company.
When it was necessary to investigate further, the police encountered resistance.
This company is very strict in management. Non-internal personnel cannot even enter the company.
The task force found that the company did not have many people coming in and out, and most of the three meals on weekdays were taken out.
Therefore, the task force arranged for two policemen, disguised as takeaway brothers, to contact the food delivery company in Lishui, and "monopolize" the company's food delivery business, and conduct investigations on the spot under the name of food delivery.
I saw that this cultural company placed a large number of clothes samples and live broadcast equipment. At first glance, it seemed to be a live broadcast delivery business, but the police delivered many "takeaways" and never saw the live broadcast room operating.
After further investigation and evidence acquisition, the task force discovered that on the surface, this company was a cultural company with live broadcasts and goods, but in fact it was a well-organized, well-defined, and skilled fraud group.
With the cooperation of the Lishui police, the task force recently raided the cultural communication company during a staff meeting and found a large number of WeChat chat records of stock investment groups related to the case on the company’s computers and employees’ mobile phones. The suspects were arrested at the scene. 15 persons, and 26 computers, more than 50 mobile phones, 92 mobile phone cards, bank cards, lecture materials and other items involved in the case were seized.
The company's downturn boss leads employees to create a fake stock app
Zhao and Wu are the leaders of this scam group.
According to their accounts, the two registered the cultural communication company in 2019. The original business scope includes live broadcast, clothing delivery, gift rewards and other services.
However, due to the downturn in the industry and the epidemic, the operating conditions have worsened, making ends meet.
In a series of thoughts and transformations, Zhao and others thought of a "doorway" for money.
Before starting a cultural communication company, Zhao had been working in a securities company. He thought of using his old business to make some money.
In August 2020, Zhao bought a virtual stock trading software on the Internet and recruited a group of employees such as Tao. These new employees no longer need to face the camera and engage in live broadcasts. They have turned to behind the scenes and become a "professional" team. "The stock advisory group.
In this team, Zhao plays the role of a stock instructor, who is mainly responsible for explaining stock techniques and recommending stocks to victims in the WeChat group.
Tao and others are mainly responsible for wooing customers into the WeChat group, and acting as a "navigator" with their accomplices in the group. They are responsible for admiring Zhao, boasting that they have obtained huge rewards for following Zhao's operations, and then induce them after gaining the trust of the victims. The victim downloaded a fake stock index trading platform to invest.
According to Zhao's account: "Our software can control the rise and fall of the index in the virtual stock trading software through a background program, so as long as we want you to lose money, you are in a loss."
According to preliminary statistics, the gang used this method to successfully implement numerous frauds.
At the time of the case, it was initially estimated that the amount involved in the case amounted to more than 20 million yuan.
At present, with the exception of the suspect Huang, who was released on bail awaiting trial due to pregnancy, the remaining 14 people have been criminally detained by the Linhai Public Security Bureau, and the case is still under further investigation.
