The cable owner accepted a "big business" and was defrauded of more than 80,000 yuan
The case occurred in Qingdao. Yesterday, a reporter from Yangzi Evening News interviewed the Qingdao Development Zone Police. According to reports, in March this year, Mr. Wu, who ran a cable business in Qingdao Development Zone, Shandong Province, called the police and claimed that he had been defrauded of more than 80,000 yuan. The Qingdao Development Zone police immediately intervened in the investigation.
Mr. Wu is in the cable business. Not long ago, he received a call from a man who claimed to be the person in charge of a construction company and needed to purchase a batch of cables from him. After some exchanges between the two parties, the man expressed that he was quite satisfied with the quality and quotation of Mr. Wu's cables. Several construction companies here were prepared to purchase cables from Mr. Wu, and the transaction amount was huge, which made Mr. Wu overjoyed. However, after working hard in the business world for many years, Mr. Wu could not easily believe the promise made on the phone.
In order to gain Mr. Wu's trust, the "person in charge" submitted the legal business licenses and other corresponding documents of multiple companies to Mr. Wu. These documents contained the red official seal, the person in charge of the company, the company name, the registered capital and the place of registration. Mr. Wu finally believed that there would be no fakes. At this moment, the other party called and asked Mr. Wu to pay a certain performance bond to ensure the normal progress of the transaction. After some negotiation, the two parties decided that Mr. Wu would pay a deposit of more than 80,000 yuan to multiple companies. To this end, Mr. Wu remitted a total of more than 80,000 yuan based on the bank card provided by the other party.
After the money was remitted, the other party suddenly lost contact. Mr. Wu realized that he had been cheated and hurriedly called the police for help.
The scammer is just a "praying mantis", and there is a "golden bird" behind him
Police from the Qingdao Development Zone Public Security Bureau told the Yangzi Evening News reporter that after they received the alarm, the branch's anti-telecom fraud team Quickly intervene to investigate. By sorting through the multiple credit cards used by Mr. Wu to remit money, the police discovered that the cardholders of two of the bank cards were none other than Ma. Based on past experience, fraud suspects usually steal other people's credit cards, usually by purchasing credit cards reported lost online, or using a found ID card to apply for a credit card. Could it be that Ma is also a victim of bank card fraud? ?
The police investigation found that the bank card used for fraud was reported lost soon after the funds were received, and the funds were transferred to another bank card, and the holder of this bank card was It's Ma himself. There are various signs that Ma seems to have some connection with telecommunications fraud. The police soon found out that Ma was temporarily living somewhere in Fengtai District, Beijing. On May 17, 2017, the police from the task force rushed to Beijing overnight and captured Ma.
However, Ma refused to admit the facts of the crime and said that he sold two bank cards to a netizen for 50 yuan each. As for the netizen using his credit card to commit fraud, he had no idea . However, after the police showed him the bank card loss report and transfer records, Ma had to admit the facts of his crime. If Mr. Wu, who sells cables, is the "golden cicada" who is victimized, then Mr. Ma, who purchases the credit card, is the "mantis" who commits telecommunications fraud, and Mr. Ma is the "oriole" who makes profits behind the scenes.
Proactively sell the card to a scammer and take the money first.
The police told reporters that Ma’s method of fraud was relatively new. Ma also said in his confession that he came up with the idea during “brainstorming” and put it into practice.
It turned out that Ma often contacted people on the Internet who purchased bank card information. He knew that the bank cards purchased by these people were likely to be used for fraud. While I was thinking hard, I "brainstormed" again and came up with the idea of ??"cheating black people" to cheat money.
According to Ma's design, he first purchased a bank card online and added a person, telling him that he could sell the bank card to him, and according to the other party's request, he used his ID card to open two bank cards at two banks. The bank card was bound to the mobile phone number requested by the other party. After collecting 50 yuan for each bank card, the bank card was delivered to the other party, and the other party's password was also changed.
Coincidentally, the scammer happened to defraud Mr. Wu and successfully defrauded him of more than 80,000 yuan, of which 30,000 yuan was transferred to two bank cards owned by Ma. Just when the scammers were feeling complacent, they were completely unaware that Ma had committed a fraud. Ma has done something secretly. He secretly bound the bank card he applied for to his WeChat. As long as the scammer succeeds and the funds arrive, Ma's WeChat will automatically remind him that "the money has arrived."
Subsequently, Ma quickly rushed to the bank, took out his ID card to report the loss of the bank card he applied for, applied for a new card, and transferred all funds to the bank card he applied for again. In this way, the money that the scammer "finished" to defraud was obtained by Mr. Ma in the blink of an eye through "transfer fraud".
Qingdao Development Zone police told the Yangzi Evening News reporter that Ma initially said that "he just swindled money from scammers" and thought he could escape legal sanctions with a sense of luck, but he did not know that he was also suspected of fraud. Currently, Ma is under criminal detention on suspicion of fraud, and the police are also conducting further investigation on suspicion of telecommunications fraud. Regarding why Ma was detained for fraud, the police told reporters that Ma knew that the other party was suspected of fraud, but deliberately framed and participated in the fraud, so Ma was detained for fraud.
Wu Qiang, captain of the Anti-Communication Fraud Investigation Team of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Nanjing Public Security Bureau, told reporters that this type of case is a fraud method after the rise of communication fraud. Ma in the above case said that he used his brain "According to circumstances", in fact, there are some who specifically keep an eye on scammers to "take advantage of others"! The "black and white" criminal gang is a black industry chain. The criminal methods of those people are more complicated than Ma. Ma used his own ID card to apply for a bank card, which is easier to trace. Sometimes the police handling the case catch a suspect of telecommunications fraud, but the other party confesses that the "material (illegal money)" is gone, and some people have been defrauded. There are also those who deliberately create Trojan viruses and sell them to criminal suspects to commit crimes. They leave a "back door" and wait until these criminal suspects defraud or steal property before they start transferring money. Whether you are defrauding "good people" out of money or defrauding bad people out of money, it is actually a crime.
The world is so big and full of wonders, and every mountain is higher than the next.
