Guangdong police cracked the ＂pyramid scheme＂ network fraud case and exposed the ＂cheats＂

　　Strange beautiful women add you to WeChat, chat, create ambiguity, become bosom friends, and want to meet you … … In fact, it’s all a routine, cheating on feelings first and then cheating on money. Yesterday, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department held a "Hurricane No.10" action conference to announce that on June 21, the provincial public security department organized more than 1,800 police officers to launch a network-closing operation, destroying 70 mega-pyramid-style online dating fraud dens and online gambling dens, arresting 543 suspects of telecommunication network fraud and online gambling, freezing nearly 1,000 bank accounts involved, and seizing and freezing about 100 million yuan of illegal money.

　　On April 15, 2016, Shenzhen police received an alarm from a 32-year-old male victim, Zhao, saying that he had encountered a scam while chatting online, and he was defrauded of 8,700 yuan in just ten days.

　　"Beauty" actively "falls in love" with you.

　　Zhao said that one day, a strange beauty suddenly took the initiative to add her as a WeChat friend. After chatting, they hit it off and chatted happily with their real names. For example, we greet each other when we get up every morning, and we will be caring and attentive when we sleep at night. I talked about it for about a week, and the other party wanted to determine the relationship with Zhao.

　　One day, when chatting, a beautiful woman said that she was in a taxi and suddenly had acute appendicitis, so she had to go to the hospital for surgery immediately. Since she didn’t bring much money when she went out, she asked Zhao if she could borrow some money for emergency. At this time, the taxi driver also answered the phone, "confirmed" that there was indeed a woman in the car who suddenly became ill, and then enthusiastically sent it to the hospital. Zhao believed it and hit more than 2,000 yuan. After two days, the beauty who finished the operation returned Zhao two or three hundred yuan, saying that it was the cost of the operation that was not used up. Zhao was more convinced of the beauty.

　　Then, the beauty borrowed money from Zhao on the grounds that the operation was not perfect enough and the later physical recovery needed nutrition. Out of concern, Zhao proposed to visit the hospital, but the beauty immediately refused, and later she couldn’t be contacted. Later, Zhao’s WeChat was blacked out, and he woke up: the beauty is a liar!

　　In fact, the "beauty" chatting with Zhao’s WeChat was a man. When the phone was contacted, it was answered by a female member of the gang. The taxi driver was also posing as a member of the gang. The gang of three men and three women took turns to play various roles and talked with Zhao for ten days.

　　On June 21, the task force decisively closed the net, and the police smashed 20 online dating fraud dens in Humen and Houjie in Dongguan. Up to now, 82 suspects, led by Li Mou, Zhang Mou (female) and Chen Mou, have been criminally detained, and 103 victims have been initially verified.

　　The ticket medical records are all PS

　　The same "affair" story also happened in Dongguan. In February 2016, another victim, Zhao, who worked in Dongguan, met a netizen who claimed to be a "beauty" in Guangxi through QQ. The two had been chatting with QQ for a few months and gradually developed feelings. "Beauty" said that her mother was ill, and the family needed money urgently, so she borrowed money from Zhao. After Zhao paid the money, "Beauty" gratefully said "You are a good man" and then offered to come to Dongguan to meet him.

　　Zhao did not hesitate to remit the fare, and the "beauty" also showed him the ticket he bought (in fact, the ticket was PS), and Zhao was full of expectations. The next day, the "beauty" in the car suddenly fell ill and had to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. In the process, a "conductor" and a "doctor" came out to confirm this situation, and the "medical record" of the beauty (also from PS) was sent to Zhao, who immediately remitted the hospitalization expenses and nutrition expenses.

　　Because he was worried about the condition of "Beauty", Zhao contacted the hospital according to the contact information on the "medical record", only to find that the beauty, the train conductor and the doctor were all liars, and he was cheated of 22,800 yuan before and after.

　　From March to May 2016, the task force organized three arrests and arrested 81 people involved in the case in Dongguan, Huizhou and Guangzhou. After review, the gang confessed to more than 200 online fraud cases, with victims spread all over the country, and initially grasped that the amount involved exceeded 1 million yuan.

　　The leader of the "MLM" dating fraud gang calls himself the chairman internally.

　　Liang Ruiguo, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, said that the gang’s criminal methods are different from the previous methods of peer-to-peer dating fraud: the gang operates in a company mode and is managed by pyramid schemes. The gang leader calls himself "chairman" and "general manager" internally; The core members are called "executives" and "managers", who are mainly responsible for management, training and gang division; The backbone members are called "store managers", who are mainly responsible for the development of offline, general management and training; Ordinary members form a group of 5-6 people and gather in a "family" way. Each "family" has a "parent" to lead "family members" to carry out first-line fraud activities.

　　Chatting up, chatting, male liar, voice video for female partner.

　　At the time of fraud, the gang successively registered multiple QQ and WeChat numbers, downloaded pictures of women with good faces from the Internet as avatars, filled in false female information, and took the initiative to chat with male netizens through Internet search, nearby people, shaking, etc. Once a man was added as a friend, he used sweet words to chat with the other party according to the "routine" and pretended to become a couple or a close friend. After gradually defrauding the victim’s trust, he defrauded the victim’s money through WeChat red envelopes and bank transfers on the grounds that he or his parents were ill in hospital, family difficulties, and the other party had to pay the fare to meet the victim. In order to fully gain the trust and sympathy of the victims, the suspects also forged false medical records and train tickets, and the accomplices pretended to be medical staff chatting with the victims, which caused the illusion of being seriously ill and was extremely confusing.

　　It is reported that the members of the gang are generally half men and half women, and they are all male members when chatting, but when language and video chat are needed, female members are asked to come and appear. Members of the gang confessed that under normal circumstances, they would refuse to meet for various reasons. If they had to meet, they would let their female associates meet, claiming to be doing business and investing in projects.

　　Liars are mostly "post-90 s" migrant workers and white-collar workers who are easily deceived.

　　It is understood that the front-line members of the gang are mainly "post-90 s" young people such as minors and newly graduated college students. Because most of them are not deeply involved in the world, they believe in the training of "lecturers" and are gradually brainwashed into thinking that they are doing a legitimate "career". "They thought they were doing online business and internet plus, and they were very enthusiastic and swindled after being brainwashed." Liang Ruiguo said.

　　Most of the deceived victims are migrant workers, bachelors who may have difficulty finding a partner, and white-collar workers in the company. Older people are over 40 years old, and younger ones are only around 17 or 18 years old. They are all single men of all ages. "Some victims are still in the dark."

　　"Cheats" of Making Friends Fraud Speech

　　In the "training" course of fraud seized by the police, the "cheats" of speech skills recorded in detail the whole process of how to chat, contact feelings and borrow money under various excuses.

　　First, register a micro-signal, the name should be elegant and generous, female, about 20 years old, with a picture of a beautiful woman, add a strange man as a friend by shaking it, looking for a nearby person or a drift bottle, and then operate step by step.

　　one

　　First, a cordial opening

　　Hello, my name is XXX. May I have your name?

　　Nice to meet you!

　　Mr. XXX, I saw the drift bottle you threw, and it’s fate that I can meet you like this.

　　I work in XXX, where do you work now?

　　Are you busy with your work at ordinary times? I work alone here, which is more leisure and a little boring … …

　　I’m a down-to-earth person. May I have your name? It’s awkward to always call you Mr. XX. What do your friends usually call you? And don’t call me miss XXX, just call me Xiaomei. If you and I meet by chance, we won’t say that we feel strange.

　　2

　　Second, contact feelings

　　Hello, X, have you eaten yet?

　　Are you tired from work today? How many hours do you usually work?

　　So what do you like to do in your spare time, or do you have any other hobbies?

　　Are your parents in good health? By the way, how many brothers and sisters do you have? Everything is about showing concern for each other.

　　Oh, you want to have a voice chat (if the other party wants to confirm the female identity, ask the same group of women for help to say a few words). My voice is not very bad. I like typing, but I don’t like voice chat very much. Let’s talk like this in the future.

　　Xxx, it feels good to talk to you for a while, and you are more considerate. If we are together like you said, what will you do to me? I want you to be good to me, listen to me, don’t scold me, and you can tell me some happy or unhappy things in your work and life, okay?

　　three

　　Third, start with cheating small money.

　　X, thank you for accompanying me these days. I’m really happy in my heart. Suddenly, I feel like I have more concerns. From what I know about you these days, I think you are a nice man. Why don’t you be my boyfriend? (determine the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend)

　　Honey, did you miss me? I’m the only one at home recently, which is annoying! Why don’t you come and see me and we’ll meet?

　　You don’t have time to come to my place. You can ask me to come to your place, but you have to help me buy a ticket!

　　Or you don’t believe that I don’t even have a fare, so will you come and pick me up?

　　Then you remit me 1000 yuan first, and I’ll buy a train ticket first.

　　Dear, I have bought my ticket (send a PS train ticket). The 10 o’clock train tonight will arrive at 1 pm tomorrow. Remember to pick me up!

　　four

　　Fourth, go to the hospital to cheat a lot of money

　　Xx, I’m here. I’m so excited. I’m going to see you soon. Do you miss me?

　　Dear, can you help me? My stomach suddenly hurts, and the flight attendant also said that my face is pale and ugly. I am afraid that I will be sent to the hospital for examination. What should I do? (or parents and other family members are sick)

　　Honey, I’m in the hospital now. The doctor said that I had an acute appendicitis attack, and all the laboratory tests came out. What should I do?

　　Dear, the doctor said that the condition is serious, and the operation must be performed immediately. The operation cost is more than 8,000 yuan. I came out in a hurry and didn’t bring much money. Can you remit it to me first? (If the other party doesn’t believe me, ask the same group to pretend to be a doctor and say a few words.)

　　Have you remitted the money? Do you want from ruin? I really regret coming to see you! (If the other party doesn’t remit money, say something rude)

　　Honey, thank you. I have finished my surgery. This meeting is really not smooth. I’d better go back first. You can pay me some nutrition fees again.
