In view of the continuous police reports of criminal suspects using "gold-covered silver" necklaces to commit fraud, and the social impact is very bad, the Hong Kong Airlines Public Security Bureau set up a task force, and after research, investigation and evidence collection, Zhong was initially targeted. Five men, namely, Li, Li Moupeng, Zeng Wan and Zeng Moufeng, are suspected of committing major crimes.
It was found that this case was a multi-person, multiple, premeditated and multi-directional gang fraud. The main targets of the fraud were private pawn shop owners, private lending companies, Wuyoudai, ID loans, acquaintances and friends, etc. In the field group, the suspects organized a clear division of labor, purchasing crime tools, finding the crime target, signing a mortgage certificate with the victim on the spot, and providing the victim's mobile phone number, WeChat, and payment code, etc. The modus operandi of the crime was the same. They all used the gold necklace as a pledge and used high interest as bait. They pledged the money on demand and paid the interest. They also required the victim not to damage the appearance or dissolve the mortgage, which led to the victim purchasing a "gold-covered silver" necklace. At that time, only preliminary identification could be made. By the time the victim discovered that he had been deceived, the suspect had lost contact.
At present, the task force has detained four suspects, Zhong, Li, Zeng, and Zeng. The four suspects used gold-plated silver necklaces to defraud others in various locations in Haikou. He confessed to 12 illegal and criminal cases, and this series of cases is currently under further investigation.
The police reminded that victims who were defrauded by the above-mentioned criminal suspects using gold-plated silver necklaces should contact the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Hong Kong Public Security Bureau in time. The detachment will implement each police case one by one.
