Although it has been a while since the case was completed, the person in charge of the case, Li Xia, deputy chief of the Public Prosecution Section of the Yanshi City Procuratorate, was deeply impressed by the victim, Mrs. Wang: "She looks like She is younger than her actual age, her clothes are very fashionable, and she has not shown any gnashing of teeth towards the fraud suspects. She should be a more rational person. "
Mrs. Wang is in her 60s this year. Her children work in other places, and she is at home after retirement. Enjoy your retirement. As she gets older, she is particularly concerned about health care. Since June 2014, she has become obsessed with buying health care products. Each time, she filled in her personal information as required by the health care product company. The nightmare started from then on.
"I received very few calls before, but since I filled in the personal information, I have been receiving various calls every day." Mrs. Wang suspected that her information was leaked by a health care product company.
One day, she received a call from an unknown person. The other person said that he was a staff member of a collectibles company. The company had some collectibles that were given back to customers at low prices. At the same time, he said that after the collections had increased in value after being purchased for a period of time, the company would also be responsible for recycling them. Mrs. Wang was very tempted by such a good thing that she could make money and there was no risk, and she immediately agreed to buy it. Soon, she received a collection sent by express delivery.
Mrs. Wang is not very good at collecting. She saw that the invoice provided by the other party was stamped with the words "National Unified Invoice Supervision Seal", filled in the name of the item, and had a price much higher than the actual purchase price. , she had no doubts. The most important thing is that she readily gave the payment to the courier in the hope that the other party could recycle it and earn the difference. After
, Mrs. Wang received more calls every day. Among the callers were some well-known collectibles companies, covering zodiac gold coins, gold bars, gold and silver commemorative coins, commemorative banknotes, etc., with prices ranging from a few hundred yuan to thousands. Yuan does not vary. Without exception, all callers promised: "All the collectibles we send you will be collected at your doorstep." With such a commitment, Mrs. Wang never refuses the collections sent to her doorstep and takes care of them. All orders accepted.
Time passed day by day, and the time promised by the other party for home collection had passed long ago, but there was still no one. Mrs. Wang became anxious and contacted the other party again and again. When got in touch occasionally, the other party sounded very impatient and lost all the enthusiasm she had when she was asked to buy it. She said she could recycle it, but she would have to pay various fees such as appraisal fees and customs duties. When these costs are calculated, they sometimes exceed the purchase price. "In short, they set up various obstacles to make you give up the idea of recycling."
At this time, Mrs. Wang realized that she might have been deceived. Just when she was upset, she received another call from someone claiming to be the public security department, saying that during the investigation, they discovered that Mrs. Wang had been defrauded of more than 400,000 yuan. “The money defrauded can be refunded, but certain notary fees and case handling fees must be paid. ". Believing it to be true, Mrs. Wang always responded to the other party's requests, including payment certification fees, handling fees, unfreezing fees, agency errands and stamping fees... hundreds or even thousands of dollars each time, Lin Lin finally paid it off, and Mrs. Wang was defrauded of another 10 More than 10,000 yuan.
However, after paying the money, the refund was still delayed, and Mrs. Wang finally became alarmed. On February 6, 2017, she reported the case to the public security organ.
only made statistics based on the receipts kept by Mrs. Wang herself. From the time she was defrauded in 2014 to the time she reported the crime in 2017, she was defrauded of a total of more than 600,000 yuan, of which she was defrauded by more than ten groups of scammers in 2016 alone. 300,000 yuan.

In Mrs. Wang's report materials, a person claiming to be named Jijing was mentioned many times, "In June 2016, she called me, Claiming to be the director of the financial department of a central unit in Beijing." In order to dispel Mrs. Wang’s suspicion, Ji Jing gave Mrs. Wang’s two mobile phone numbers and one landline number, saying, “We work exclusively for the common people. I am a national cadre and I often go to handle cases. I just received a call a few days ago. After handling a case, the scammers confessed that they defrauded you of 120,000 yuan. Our Finance Department is going to refund the money to you. We are calling you today to tell you that you only need to pay some handling fees, and we will be able to get the money you were defrauded from. "
Although this argument was full of loopholes, Mrs. Wang, who was eager to recover her losses, did not think about it carefully. Instead, she "just followed the devil" and followed the other party's request through the bank's ATM self-service teller machine and By bank transfer, 40,000 yuan was transferred to the card number provided by the other party in more than a dozen times.
Based on the card number and phone number provided by Mrs. Wang, the public security organs followed the clues and quickly captured Cao Xueling, a native of Dingzhou, Hebei, who claimed to be Jijing.
At Cao Xueling's home, the police seized the account book she used to record the fraud, which clearly recorded the victim's name, address, phone number, ID number, the other party's bank card number, as well as her own information every time she committed the fraud. The self-proclaimed identity, name, last four digits of the number used, reason for fraud, price, etc. are also marked with words such as "sign for", "pay", "change", "refund", and "no money".
According to Cao Xueling’s account, those marked with “sign for”, “paid” and “changed” were those who accepted the express delivery and paid the money and were successfully deceived; “returned”, “no money” and “no accepted” meant that they were not deceived. Every time the deception was successful, Cao Xueling would mark it with a red pen and use it as a key target to continue deceiving. This is why Mrs. Wang receives more and more calls.
Cao Xueling explained that the fake collectibles she sold were all bought near Gaopeng Village, Gaopeng Town, her hometown. “They are all handicrafts that cost tens of yuan a piece, but they are sold for hundreds or even thousands. They are sold as precious collectibles. In addition, the store can also provide shopping invoices, which cost 50 yuan each. I bought about 30 copies. The main function of the invoice is to write down the price of the crafts as the price of the collectibles. "The records in the
ledger made the public security organs' investigation more targeted. The police finally found that she, alone or together with her husband Lang Hailong, her father Cao Jinping (at large), her mother Chen Yanqin (at large), her sister Cao Man, and her brother-in-law Wang Xiaoguang, defrauded 22 victims, including Mrs. Wang, of more than 103,000 yuan. Defrauded Mrs. Wang of more than 39,000 yuan. Cao Man and Wang Xiaoguang defrauded two victims of more than 46,000 yuan. After the incident, nearly a hundred pages of Cao Xueling's bank transaction records alone were printed.

The reason why I purchased the personal information of "people who have bought collectibles" is "because we have many people who commit fraud by selling collectibles. These people are willing to buy this kind of information to facilitate their fraud. For such individuals, The demand for information is also relatively large.” After

His name is Fu Congqi, male, born in May 1978, a junior high school graduate, a farmer, and a native of Changzhuang Township, Yanshan County, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. When the public security organs were preparing to arrest him, Fu Congqi, who learned about Fang Chengming's arrest, chose to flee. During the escape process, he threw away all the notebooks, phones and USB flash drives that contained citizens' personal information. The public security organs chased him online.

Prosecutor's statement
Yang Jiangang, Chief Prosecutor of the People's Procuratorate of Yanshi City, Henan Province
In recent years, telecommunications fraud has been on the rise, not only causing huge losses to the property of the defrauded people, but also bringing serious consequences to the people's life safety and social stability. There is a major threat, and some victims have gone to a dead end because they were deceived. Some fraud cases involving people impersonating public officials such as "public prosecutors and law enforcement officials" have damaged the reputation of state agencies. Such crimes must be resolutely cracked down on.
and telecommunications fraud go hand in hand with the crime of infringing on citizens’ personal information. A piece of information can even be sold for only a few cents, and criminals do not make much profit. However, it is precisely because of the existence of these "greengrocers" who illegally sell information for small profits that scammers have a higher success rate in deceiving. In addition, card heads (providing bank cards to fraud groups), water houses (responsible for splitting accounts and laundering money), riders (responsible for withdrawing money, selling stolen goods, and transferring funds), etc., also promote the completion of crimes in different ways. To succeed in combating telecommunications fraud, upstream and downstream crimes must also be dealt with heavily.
Our hospital has produced promotional materials based on the above-mentioned real cases to make people realize that fraud is around them, which can have a better warning effect, educate and remind potential victims, and is welcomed by the people.In this regard, the prosecutorial office can do more exploration.
The final reminder is that when you receive a call from an unknown person, you must stay calm and don't let a phone call disrupt your position. What scammers lure you into is nothing more than two things. One is the benefit you want to get, and the other is the benefit you are afraid of losing. Don't worry though, he will never be able to get these two things just by phone; if they are taken away in the end, it will be because of your next move.
