Not only did he collect the e-commerce platform "Wool", he also recorded "teaching videos" and sold them online

　　Defendant sentenced to seven years in prison for two crimes

　　News from our newspaper (correspondent Fei Xuan) In order to attract new users, some online e-commerce platforms will launch a reward mechanism, which has become a "way to make money" in Xu's eyes.

Recently, after the Shanghai Putuo District Procuratorate filed a public prosecution, the court sentenced the defendant Xu to four years and ten months in prison for fraud and a fine of 50,000 yuan; he was sentenced to two years and ten months in prison for the crime of teaching criminal methods. Combined punishment for several crimes, it was decided to implement a fixed-term imprisonment of seven years and a fine of 50,000 yuan.

　　In 2017, not long after the rise of online e-commerce platforms, Xu took advantage of the preferential mechanism that newcomers can place an order with a red envelope of 0.01 yuan, and embarked on the road of "sweeping wool".

But not long after, the relevant online e-commerce platform made up for the system loopholes, so Xu had to stop temporarily.

　　In 2021, Xu learned of a new method of "sweeping wool" from the Internet, which can not only get discounts when placing orders, but also directly realize cash.

In order to prevent the "wool party", the online e-commerce platform has gradually strengthened the review. For example, the user's mobile phone number is required to be bound to the mobile phone identification code, and one code for one machine can be identified as a new user.

However, under the stimulation of greed, Xu worked hard to study technology and break the platform restrictions.

　　Xu first purchased a large number of phone cards and virtual mobile phone numbers through illegal channels, and registered as new users on the online e-commerce platform, and then used the old user accounts registered by himself or relatives with real names to invite these fake new users to place orders. You can get old user bonuses issued by the network platform, and you can also get new customer subsidies.

In order to "sweep wool", Xu fabricated a large number of fake new users and bypassed the platform's review mechanism through technical means.

After that, Xu also set up a studio, and defrauded a total of more than 250,000 yuan in more than a year by defrauding new recruit commissions and new customer red envelopes at the same time.

　　In addition, Xu was not satisfied with his own "sweeping wool", but also "opened classes to teach apprentices" through online channels.

He packaged and sold the card merchants, account merchants, code receiving platforms, and account maintenance platforms he mastered, and also recorded teaching videos.

Lu (handled in another case) bought Xu's courses at a price of more than 1,000 yuan, followed the gourd, and defrauded more than 310,000 yuan from the online e-commerce platform in the same way.

An online e-commerce platform reported the case after discovering that the background data was abnormal.

　　In October 2022, the public security organ transferred the case to the Putuo District Procuratorate for review and prosecution.

After review, the prosecutor believes that Xu used the method of fabricating facts and concealing the truth to defraud the victim of a huge amount of property. At the same time, he taught the criminal methods to others. method of crime.

The court made the above judgment after trial.
