CCTV News, October 22, 2019. On the Internet, there are a group of "fortune telling masters" who claim to know fate and change their fortunes. Netizens and the "masters" have never seen each other before, so they send their name, age, location, and photos to each other without hesitation. However, when the netizens who asked for help thought that the other party was "pointing the way", the "master" was looking at their wallets.
The master of practice and transfer goods asks for more than 10,000 yuan
Ms. Xu likes to scan Weibo online in her free time. At the beginning of this year, she followed an online account called "Kan Xiang Xuan Shi".
Ms. Xu: He basically sends out some marital fortunes, palmistry, about which people have recent fortunes and how to get rid of difficulties.
Ms. Xu quickly became fascinated by it. She found that this "Kan Xiang Xuan Master" was very popular, and many fans liked and commented on each Weibo. The content at the top of the page mentions: Fans can add his WeChat account and pay one-to-one consultation.
Because life has been a bit unsuccessful recently, Ms. Xu added the WeChat of "Kan Xiang Xuan Shi", and the other party asked Ms. Xu to send her face and palmistry photos.
Soon, the other party sent a long message to Ms. Xu, saying that she “is easy to have ups and downs in relationship and affects the fortune of marriage”, and also said that Ms. Xu “the immune system has declined a bit recently, pay attention to your body” and said It’s hard to get a better career between the ages of 33 and 36." In short, all aspects of Ms. Xu are worrying.
Afterwards, the "master" proposed a cracking method, and Ms. Xu suddenly felt that the matter was still saved. She first booked a memorial service for 6,999 yuan, and then spent 3,999 yuan for the so-called transshipment.
A few days later, Ms. Xu received a video of the practice from the "master". "Master" told her not to click on the video, otherwise it would ruin her fortune. According to the precautions said by the "master", Ms. Xu deleted the video from the chat log and waited for good luck.
"Transfer goods" did not transport the police and arrested criminal gangs
Ms. Xu wears the so-called lighted transshipments sent by "Master" every day, but the effect is not visible at all. She told her family about it, and everyone felt that this "master" was unreliable.
The police found that the account named "Kan Xiang Xuan Shi" followed by Ms. Xu had more than 4 million fans and the authentication information was "a well-known constellation numerology blogger." Fans often post photos of their faces and hands in comments, asking for comments from bloggers.
The police also discovered that there are dozens of similar accounts on the Internet, posting so-called numerology and fortune-related content, interacting with fans in comments and private messages, and adding fan WeChat for "paid consultation".
Ningguo City Public Security Bureau Squadron Squadron Gao Ba: The mode of content posted by these accounts is the same, mainly for the hot spots of celebrities. From time to time, they post some blogs about spiritual chicken soup, Buddhism, Buddhism, and numerology.
After several months of investigation, in July 2019, the police sent more than 20 arrest teams to various cities such as Huzhou, Hangzhou, and other cities to carry out a unified arrest operation. The 7 criminal gang leaders and 14 All persons involved in this den were arrested. 95 computers and 219 mobile phones were seized at the scene, 13 vehicles involved in the case and a large number of tools and items were seized, and more than 10.47 million yuan of funds involved were frozen.
The victims are all over the country, many of whom are highly educated
As the investigation progresses, the police handling the case discovered that the victims of this case are all over the country. One of the dens that sent "good luck goods" and "transit signs" delivered thousands of express shipments every month. Such a large shipment volume means that there are not a few victims. When the police contacted them, almost everyone was unaware that they were being defrauded.
Policeman Ma Jian, Criminal Investigation Brigade, Public Security Bureau of Ningguo City, Anhui Province: (there is a victim) sighed and said, thanks to you (the police) for coming. No wonder the master didn't reply to my WeChat and Weibo messages during this period. You were arrested.
The police found that the victims included college students at school, business owners, business elites in big cities, etc., and there were many highly educated people.
"Good Luck" is actually a cheap accessory, "Merchant" is actually an online video
The victim received a few hundred or even thousands of "Good Luck" that was actually just the cost of the suspect's online bulk purchase Very low jewelry. And the "spell" made by the suspect does not have the so-called mana.The text above is drawn randomly.
Among these businesses, the one that has almost no cost but the highest asking price is "practical work". The lowest price is 3499 yuan and the highest is tens of thousands of yuan. The "legal affair" is actually the suspect sending some videos downloaded or secretly filmed online to the victim. The victim should also be told to "delete it after reading it" and not save it, otherwise it would "blaspheme".
The victim didn't know that the "masters" who gave him directions were young people with low education and no regular jobs. All facial and palmistry analysis, and fortune comments are copied based on templates. These "masters" have been labeled with the so-called certification label, and they have accumulated tens of millions of fans, making it impossible for many victims to distinguish. This is exactly where such fraud cases are hidden and confusing.
The police reminded that this type of fraud mode is just taking advantage of the victim's curiosity and shortcut mentality. There is no smooth path in life, and destiny is ultimately in your own hands. Source: CCTV News
