Trilogy of fraud:

Impersonation, inducement, and rapid transfer of funds

In the first step, the "frontline operator" pretends to be a staff member of the victim's local public security agency and falsely claims the victim's identity information. Leak, involving criminal cases, the victim needs to contact the relevant public security agency to explain the situation, and then transfer the victim's call to the second line;

The second step is for the "second line operator" to pretend to be a member of the public security agency's task force and the "third line operator" to pretend to be a prosecutor Join forces to induce the victim and require the victim to transfer funds to his designated "supervision account" through online banking, bank counters or ATM machines on the grounds of "fund verification";

The third step is carried out by the "Car Dealer" (Taiwan's professional money laundering agency) ) quickly transfer funds layer by layer.

Alternatively, enter the number segment into the platform through the number group calling system, and the system will send a voice message similar to: "Hello from the post office, you have a piece of mail that has not been signed for. If you need to check, please press 9". After the victim is fooled and presses the 9 key , the call will be transferred to the operator, and then the operator will "divide the labor and cooperate" to deceive at every level.

Liang Dingwei explained that at the end of 2015, in order to carry out the fraud, he sent his "effective men" Zhuo Yicheng and Huang Kaipei to a telecommunications fraud den in Kenya to learn "professional skills". After "returning from the studies", they began to Indonesia engages in telecommunications fraud. He is responsible for the operation and management of the den. Ye Xinzhi is a professional computer expert. There is also a dedicated person responsible for counting everyone's fraud performance every day and calculating and disbursing wages every month. He also stipulated a system to start work at 8 o'clock, get off work at 17 o'clock, and hold meetings in the evening to "exchange experiences and arrange tasks."

Su Jianquan also explained similar fraud gang management methods, and required new operators to be "trained" to memorize fraud lines. There are also tasks every day. The first-line operators must transfer 3 calls to the second line every day. If they do not complete it, they must stay. Come down and copy and read the manuscript. There are different incomes according to the level of the operator. For example, the basic salary of a front-line operator is 10,000 yuan, and there is also a 5% "commission".
