Actual case
“Waste plastic can be used to refine fuel!” A group of scammers carefully designed a trap that deceived 47 manufacturers in just one and a half months, involving as much as More than 950,000 yuan. Zhang, one of the ringleaders of the fraud gang, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for contract fraud by the court.
Deception case
Zhang runs a fast food management company in Shanghai. In August 2000, Zhang's fellow villagers Li and Liu established Shanghai Yuaneng Technology Co., Ltd. under pseudonyms, and claimed that the company had developed technology that could extract fuel from waste plastics and rubber products. The oil refining equipment developed by the company has exclusively won international quality system certification and multiple achievement awards, and has applied for national patents.
After the company released information about the paid transfer of technology and equipment through the media, there was an endless stream of inquiries and contact numbers from all over the country. As the company's deputy general manager, Zhang participated in the leasing of offices, training venues and test bases, and also used his fast food company's Santana sedan to transport "customers" for visits and training. 47 manufacturers from all over the country signed technology transfer contracts with Yuan Neng Company. Even after they paid the transfer fee and received the so-called technical training, they were unable to refine the fuel anyway. If they want to settle accounts with Yuan Energy Company again, this group of scammers will have already escaped.
