【Commentary】In early March 2023, when the Anti-fraud Center of the Pudong Public Security Sub-Bureau conducted a unified review and judgment of telecommunications network fraud cases since this year, it was found in a telecommunications network fraud case that an overseas caller contacted the victim frequently, and pretended to be a customer service staff to divert other victims many times, and then fraudsters carried out fraud. Through combing the gang's personnel structure one by one, the police found that the people involved were distributed throughout the country, and the gang members mainly assigned tasks through online chat tools, settling employees' wages in the form of issuing red envelopes, while overseas fraud gangs paid corresponding remuneration to core members through virtual currency. On April 3, after carefully planning the arrest, evidence collection, interrogation, custody, escort and other work, the special case team concentrated on the net collection operation.

The Pudong New District Procuratorate intervened in this telephone diversion fraud case in advance, and cooperated with the Pudong Public Security Bureau to jointly study the investigation and evidence collection plan.
