A few days ago, Mr. Lin, who runs a jewelry store in Gusu District, , encountered a strange thing - the gold bracelet he received turned into a silver bracelet. Mr. Lin immediately reported it to Gusu The police were called.
Mr. Lin said that some time ago, a strange man came to the store for consultation with a bracelet and wanted to use the bracelet to mortgage 10,000 yuan in cash for emergency relief. This bracelet is of the popular "ancient gold bracelet" style. It has no carvings or engravings. It weighs about 50 grams and looks pretty good. The man claimed that he needed money urgently and could mortgage it at a price lower than the market price. He also claimed that if it could not be redeemed upon expiration, the bracelet would belong to Mr. Lin. The man also took out the quality assurance sheet for the bracelet.
Because the bracelet might be redeemed, Mr. Lin was unable to break it open for inspection. He could only check its appearance. Seeing the warranty, Mr. Lin discussed it with the man. Finally, Alipay transferred 10,000 yuan to the man and accepted the bracelet. The two parties added WeChat friends to keep in touch. That night, Mr. Lin suddenly discovered that the man had lost contact. Only then did Mr. Lin realize that there was something wrong with the bracelet. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a gold-plated silver bracelet. Mr. Lin shouted that he had been fooled and hurriedly called the police.
After receiving the alarm, the police quickly launched an investigation and quickly locked the suspect's movement track, and finally captured the man Zou in his hotel. After preliminary examination, Zou confessed to using a bracelet with "internal bank and external gold" to defraud, and also confessed two accomplices, Zhang and Ma. The police immediately launched an arrest, and Zhang and Ma were arrested one after another.
Zou explained that by chance, he heard that fake bracelets could be used as collateral to cash out, so he told his friends Zhang and Ma about the idea. The three hit it off immediately, and Zhang volunteered to be responsible for "replenishing goods." Starting in May this year, Zou and Ma separately looked for small shops and pawn shops on the street that recycle gold and silver jewelry. They took the fake bracelets and fake warranty certificates provided by Zhang and mortgaged them for about 10,000 yuan. In order to relax the store's vigilance, Zou and Ma often approach each other like brothers, promise more benefits, and try every means to defraud money. In order to prevent being discovered, the three of them made notes every time they made an order, "one shot and another place." As of being captured, Zou, Ma and Zhang have committed many crimes in Suzhou, Ningbo, Zhoushan, Jiaxing and other places, involving more than 70 victims and a total amount of more than 700,000 yuan. .
Modern Express reporter learned that at present, the criminal suspects Zou, Ma, and Zhang have been arrested in accordance with the law on suspicion of fraud, and the source of the fake bracelet is under further investigation. (Photo provided by the police)
