China News Service, Beijing, December 22 (Reporter Zhang Ziyang) At 10 o'clock on December 22, under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security, the public security organs of 24 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities including Beijing, Hebei, Jiangsu, and Anhui simultaneously carried out a centralized network collection operation. Severely crack down on the illegal and criminal activities of "run-off customers" who provide transfer services for telecom fraud.

As of 17:00 of the same day, more than 490 criminal suspects were arrested and more than 12 million yuan of funds involved in the case were seized and frozen.

  Since the beginning of this year, some telecommunications network fraud criminal gangs, in order to evade crackdowns and quickly transfer the fraudulent funds, under the guise of the "Internet sharing economy", hire technicians to develop network tools for transfer and money laundering, and call them "run points platform." .

On the one hand, the platform provides channels for fraud groups to publish illegal transfer requests, and on the other hand, it uses high commissions as bait to attract a large number of people to assist in the transfer of stolen money through the platform.

These people who register as members on the "Panfen platform" are called "Panfenke". They mainly assist in transfers by uploading personal payment QR codes and other payment account information. Their behavior has become an important link in the chain of telecommunication fraud crimes. .

After investigation, when a telecommunications fraud criminal group needs to transfer the stolen money involved in the case, the transfer request will be posted on the "run-off platform" for "run-off customers" to grab orders.

After the "Panfenke" successfully grabbed the order, the fraud gang sent the QR code of the payment provided by it to the victim of the fraud to trick the victim into scanning the code and transfer the money to the "Panfenke" account. Transfers at different levels of accounts, and finally to the designated account of the fraud gang.

In the process of transferring stolen money, due to the numerous accounts involved and the complicated flow, it caused difficulties for the public security organs in investigating, cracking down and recovering stolen money and causing serious property losses to the victims.

  It is reported that with the in-depth advancement of the "broken card" operation, various localities and departments have made heavy blows, fighting and defending simultaneously, launching a fierce offensive against illegal and criminal activities of illegally selling phone cards and bank cards.

It is more difficult for telecommunications fraud gangs to obtain phone cards and bank cards for crimes, and their methods of transferring stolen money are greatly restricted, thus turning their "eyes" to "running sub-platforms."

In order to attract more "runners" to assist in the transfer of stolen money, the "runner platform" claimed that every time a transfer is completed, a commission of 1%-1.8% of the corresponding stolen money will be issued.

In the face of high commissions, more and more "runners" are involved, and even form gangs to commit crimes.

In response to the new characteristics and new situations of illegal and criminal activities of telecommunications fraud, the Ministry of Public Security organized in-depth research, judgment and analysis, and on the basis of grasping a large number of criminal facts and evidence, deployed centralized arrest operations against illegal criminal gangs of "run-off" criminals, effectively combating this Class of illegal and criminal activities.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security stated that the centralized network collection for the "run sub-platform" and "run sub-customers" is an important measure to further promote the "broken card" operation and crack down on the "two cards" illegal and criminal activities across the chain.

The public security organs will continue to maintain a severe crackdown and high-pressure situation, make heavy strikes and take multiple measures, and work with relevant departments to further strengthen source governance and disciplinary measures, make every effort to cut off the illegal trading of "two cards" black and gray industry chain, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people social order.

The public security organs are warning criminal gangs that provide technical, financial and other services to support telecommunications fraud and other illegal crimes to voluntarily surrender and strive for leniency.

At the same time, the general public is reminded to increase their awareness of prevention, fully understand the criminal hazards of the "two cards", and do not rent or sell their phone cards, bank cards, payment accounts, etc., to jointly maintain a good economic and social order.
