  At the moment, many e-commerce platforms are launching the "618" mid-year promotion. While consumers are "buying, buying", some platform practitioners are also focusing on platform loopholes to "scrabble" and commit fraud.

In addition to online shopping, loopholes in the online economy such as online meal ordering and online taxi-hailing have also been spotted. Some practitioners who illegally make profits infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of Internet companies and are ultimately punished by law.

  Although each reward is at least 2 yuan, the delivery rider Liu Moumou used virtual numbers to register false new users in batches, defrauding new users of e-commerce platform coupons and promotion rewards, and the cumulative case value reached more than 90,000 yuan.

Recently, the People’s Procuratorate of Yangpu District, Shanghai, filed a public prosecution. The court sentenced Liu XX and other 12 defendants to imprisonment ranging from 3 years and 6 months to 3 months in detention for fraud, and fined 6,000 yuan to 1,000 yuan. Yuan varies.

  Behind the rapid development of the Internet industry, Internet crime has gradually become a new channel for criminals to "dig money" due to its low cost and strong concealment.

There have been more cases of infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of Internet companies, such as "swiping orders" to obtain subsidies by fraudulently and illegally gaining profits by using platform loopholes.

In recent years, Shanghai procuratorial organs have handled a number of cases involving fraudulent use of loopholes in the new economic business, and have increased their efforts to crack down on professional "wool parties" from the judicial level.

  Takeaway riders form a "wool task group"

  In late May 2019, a staff member of an e-commerce platform rushed to a police station in Yangpu District to report to the police, saying that the company’s back-end data monitoring showed that since January 2019, the subsidy situation of many of the company’s stores was abnormal, and it was suspected that someone maliciously brushed newcomer coupons. Defrauding tens of thousands of preferential subsidies.

The police immediately launched an investigation and found that from January to June 2019, there were indeed more than 10 delivery riders maliciously scouring orders for profit.

  "New users enjoy full discounts for the first order" "Recommend new users to receive bonuses randomly"... From these e-commerce platform marketing and promotion activities, takeaway rider Liu Moumou found a loophole.

Starting in 2019, he purchased a virtual mobile phone number at a unit price of 0.1 yuan and registered as a new user of the platform.

Afterwards, he clicked to receive a "newcomer coupon" of RMB 15 minus RMB 29 on the platform.

After receiving the coupons, Liu placed an order on the platform, ordered goods that were slightly more expensive than 29 yuan, and then reselled the goods to nearby small shops to cash out, and each order could make a difference of more than ten yuan.

  Liu Moumou also found that the platform's new incentive activities can also be exploited.

He opens the "Invite friends to get cash" link issued by the successfully registered virtual number, enters another virtual number to complete the registration and places an order for the first time to complete the receipt, the previous virtual number will automatically receive 2 to 20 yuan issued by the platform Varying rewards.

  In fact, this "how to make money" has been "word-of-mouth" in the rider circle.

Since rider Tan Moumou was drawn into a "wool task group" in early 2019, he has followed the instructions to "do tasks" to make money every day, that is, buy a new mobile phone number through malicious registration software, and register as a new user of the platform on the mobile APP, and then download Purchase the goods specified by the group owner and advance the payment first, and then send a screenshot of the transaction order to the counterparty, who will reimburse the advance payment and pay each order from 4 yuan to 5 yuan.

After the two came to the case, both said, "Thinking that they have made a lot of money, but did not realize that this is a crime."

  The People’s Procuratorate of Yangpu District found that the defendants Liu Moumou, Tan Moumou, etc., used the purpose of illegal possession, fabricated facts, defrauded others' property, and the total amount involved in the case amounted to more than 500,000 yuan.

  "Carrying virtual passengers" ran out of a thousand yuan fare

  It takes only 10 minutes to drive from the starting point to the end point of the order, and the online ride-hailing driver drove more than 500 kilometers, incurring a fee of thousands of yuan.

How is this going?

  Recently, the People's Procuratorate of Jing'an District, Shanghai handled this case of online car-hailing drivers using loopholes in the online car-hailing platform system to defraud.

  The prosecutor Shen Yixin introduced that Shen is a registered driver of an online car-hailing platform.

At the beginning of 2019, the "scalper" found Shen and said that he could help him obtain additional fares through virtual orders, which were divided between the two parties afterwards.

After receiving the order from the "virtual passenger", the "scalper" instructed Shen to take the order.

"Scalper" impersonated a passenger to raise a fare objection to the platform after the trip, while paying only a few tens of yuan for the fare.

After receiving the complaint, the online car-hailing platform will advance the fare of thousands of yuan in advance.

In this way, Shen took advantage of the loopholes to get "wool".

  Later, Shen also discovered another loophole in the platform.

He used online car-hailing to advance the fare first and then centrally settle the time difference with the navigation app he cooperated with, so that "virtual passengers" refused to pay after "riding in the car" on the navigation APP, tricking the online car-hailing company into paying in advance.

As of the incident, Shen has made 61 orders and made an illegal profit of more than 74,000 yuan.

  "Since 2019, more than 40 online ride-hailing drivers like Shen have used the same method to commit fraud, but some of them did not realize that they were committing a crime." Shen Yixin said.

  There are also some e-commerce platform online shopkeepers who use the platform to advance payment.

  Once, Li Moumou, an online shop owner of an e-commerce platform, discovered that because the goods were out of stock, Li Moumou negotiated with the customer to apply for a refund.

However, after successfully applying for a refund, the store account still received the money, and a few days later, the payment was taken away by the e-commerce platform.

  In October 2019, Li XX raised the price of goods in the store, instructing store employees to use his personal account to purchase more than 40,000 yuan of goods in his store, and then apply for a refund.

After the review was passed, the e-commerce platform paid the refund in full, and Li Moumou then withdrew the money from the store account to his personal account.

A few days later, the settlement between the e-commerce platform and the store was unable to proceed due to insufficient account balance. After that, Li left the store alone and defrauded the e-commerce platform for more than 40,000 yuan.

  With the first successful experience, Li Moumou used another store under his name to deceive the e-commerce platform more than 40,000 yuan with the same technique.

  After frequent settlement failures, the e-commerce platform became suspicious and reported the case.

The People's Procuratorate of Jiading District, Shanghai, filed a public prosecution against the defendant Li Moumou for the crime of fraud.

  "Swipe hands" defrauded 5.1 million platform subsidies

  Fierce market competition has triggered a war of discounts and promotions among Internet e-commerce platforms. Major e-commerce platforms often distribute coupons and subsidies to seize the market and attract customers.

However, the phenomenon of fictitious transactions and fraudulent use of orders to defraud subsidies arose.

  In October 2018, Fang established an official flagship store for digital products on an e-commerce platform.

From July to September 2019, the platform launched a "Ten Billion Subsidy" discount campaign-participating stores sell a certain brand of mobile phones at a price lower than the market price, and the platform then subsidizes the difference to the merchant.

  Fang Moumou teamed up with the company's customer service staff Wang Moumou, and the operation staff mother Moumou (handled in another case), joined a special order-swiping WeChat group, and instructed more than a dozen “hands-hands” to place false orders in the store by sending empty packages. Cover your eyes and ears.

After the "hand brushing" confirms that the receipt order is completed, the platform will automatically remit the corresponding subsidy to the store's account, and the "hand brushing" will receive several hundred yuan from Fang Mo and Wang. The benefit fee.

As of the case, Fang Moumou and Wang Moumou participated in fraudulently obtaining platform subsidies of more than 5.1 million yuan.

  “During internal verification, the platform found that the store’s order was abnormal, so it applied to the bank to freeze its account. The bank restricted the store’s withdrawal authority as required. At the same time, the platform reported the case in time. Therefore, Fang Moumou Frequent withdrawals but ultimately failed." Zhu Hao, prosecutor of the Changning District Procuratorate, introduced.

  The Changning District Procuratorate filed a public prosecution with Fang Moumou and Wang Moumou suspected of constituting fraud.

Fang Moumou, Wang Moumou and the involved "swiping hands" were all sentenced to penalties.
