Text total: 2376 words Question picture: Theme picture 1. There is a trap in the gentle village In early 2016, Li left home alone to look for a job because of a quarrel with his family. He would watch some live broadcasts when he was free to relieve the loneliness of people in a foreign land. Therefore, he met Xiaoqing on a live broadcast platform. The two chatted in an opportunistic manner and soon moved together to live together. Li has never found a suitable job, while Xiaoqing sang and chatted on the live broadcast platform, and earned income by netizens for some small gifts. The two of them did not live well and often quarreled over money. In the summer of 2016, Li had very little savings left, but his girlfriend was not quarreling with him like before, and she took the initiative to bear the living expenses of the two. At first, he thought that more people were giving gifts to his girlfriend live, and his income increased. Gradually, Li felt that his girlfriend had something to hide from him, so he began to pay attention to her every move. Network picture It turned out that when my girlfriend was broadcasting live, she met Mr. Zhang, who lives in Changshu, Jiangsu. Mr. Zhang was very generous in giving gifts, which attracted Xiaoqing's attention. She took the initiative to add him on WeChat and chatted with Mr. Zhang every day after the broadcast was broadcast. Xiaoqing, who had a gentle voice and a funny chat, suddenly made Mr. Zhang, who had an empty emotional relationship, fall into the gentle land, and often sent her red envelopes. When she encountered places where she needed money, Mr. Zhang would spare no effort to help solve the problem. Li did not object after knowing it, and the two relied on Mr. Zhang's red envelope to make a living. However, over time, the freshness disappeared. Mr. Zhang gradually became cold and the red envelopes were not sent much. Their lives were once again in a dilemma. 2. The entrepreneurial path of "inspiring girls" Seeing that the "financial owner" disappeared like this, Li was unwilling to accept it. Seeing that his girlfriend had less contact with Mr. Zhang and his WeChat account was put on hold, Li often pretended to be Xiaoqing and continued to keep in touch with Mr. Zhang. Because the WeChat account of Xiaoqing and Mr. Zhang chatting with him was applied for using the identity of Li's "hardcore" brother Zhang. Later, Xiaoqing and Li broke up and returned to their hometown, and this WeChat account was naturally taken over by Li. Li began to fabricate his miserable life experience to Mr. Zhang and expressed his determination to start a business, be independent and self-improvement. Mr. Zhang, who has been struggling in the business world for many years, was deeply moved and enthusiastically gave him advice. "Live streaming sales are very popular now, and the prospects are good, but I lack start-up capital, which is a pity." Li took the initiative to share his analysis of the prospects of live streaming sales, and said that he had relevant experience, connections, and channels. "Brother, why don't we do it together? You only need to invest, and you don't have to worry about anything else. You will make a profit of six and four." Mr. Zhang was already optimistic about live streaming sales, and believed that young people in emerging industries were highly accepting, so he quickly agreed to invest in partnership.

Mr. Zhang always thought that Xiaoqing was chatting with him. Based on the previous chat, Mr. Zhang trusted her a lot. After confirming the identity information sent by the other party, he directly transferred the first investment payment. Since the investment amount is not large, Mr. Zhang did not require the signing of an investment contract, agreement, etc., but only agreed that after deducting costs, the money earned was divided into proportion. Network diagram "Business" was successfully completed. Mr. Zhang proposed to regularly check sales performance statements, capital flows, etc. to grasp the operating status in real time. In order to meet Mr. Zhang's requirements, Li thought that his "hardcore" brother Zhang was proficient in computers, so he lobbied Zhang to join and asked him to be responsible for making fake sales performance statements, capital flows, etc. to deceive Mr. Zhang. several reports were posted one after another, but Mr. Zhang did not have any doubts, and investment funds were continuously transferred. 3. Entering the crazy money-making mode In the second half of 2017, the two roughly estimated that Mr. Zhang's investment had reached more than one million yuan. They were a little scared at first, and they had thought about doing business well. They also contacted the platform's internet celebrity anchor and looked for suppliers. But business is not so easy to do. The two people who are used to being lazy and lazy quickly felt that it would be better to continue to lie to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang proposed to expand their business scale and set the goal of winning the top five live broadcast sales in the industry. They also "disclosed" that they contacted a big anchor on the live broadcast platform, and the other party agreed to sell in the live broadcast room. In order to make Mr. Zhang believe, Li pushed another WeChat account to Mr. Zhang, lying that he was the WeChat account of a big anchor. (This article is reproduced from Anti-fraud Big Data: FPData) Mr. Zhang believes that it is understandable to expand the business and invest a lot in the early stage, so that he can quickly occupy the market and try his best to meet his financial requirements. After that, the two deceived Mr. Zhang into investing a lot of money by requiring signing fees, large-scale payments for goods, event planning and publicity fees, monthly employee salaries, etc. "It's another all night!" "Yesterday's event, our sales ranking third on the platform, keep working hard!"... Li reported on his work at any time and created the illusion of a booming business. By the end of 2018, Mr. Zhang had invested more than 10 million yuan, his performance statements were rising steadily, and his operating expenses had reached more than 40 million yuan. More than two years of investment finally had a "return", and Mr. Zhang proposed to recover the funds. At this time, Li said that all business funds were on the live broadcast platform's account, and delayed the time and continued to scam on the grounds that the e-commerce law could not be withdrawn immediately after it was released. 4, a life of luxury "Boss, forgive me, in fact, the real situation is that I have been losing money..." On April 1, 2019, Li, who could no longer find an excuse to delay, cried and "confessed" to Mr. Zhang. After that, Li portrayed himself as a person who was brave enough to take responsibility. Mr. Zhang had no doubts about Li, nor did he blame him too much. He also decided to regroup and make back the money he lost, and then invested one after another. Until July 13, 2019, Mr. Zhang received a screenshot of a bank deduction text message sent by Li, showing that the law enforcement agency agreed to pay the fine RMB 227,080. "The law enforcement agency should not let the bank deduct the fine directly. Such a large amount of fine should not be so hasty." Mr. Zhang was confused. A few days later, Mr. Zhang received a detailed description of the salary and found that the first four digits of the 28 anchors in the details were the same, and the anchor names were all two words, which made Mr. Zhang doubt this "beautiful partner". On August 5, 2019, the other party suddenly lost contact. Only then did Mr. Zhang wake up and report the case to the police. Mr. Zhang has transferred more than 17 million yuan to this "beautiful partner". During this period, Mr. Zhang asked to have video, voice and interview with the other party several times, but the other party refused on the grounds that he had been busy with work and then made an appointment again. Mr. Zhang himself was also busy, so he didn't take it seriously. Li was arrested at the place of renting residence, and some bank cards, cash and other property were seized on the spot On August 8, 2019, Li and Zhang were arrested and brought to justice. It was not until the two were arrested and brought to justice that Mr. Zhang realized that the so-called "beautiful partner" was actually two strong guys, and he had squandered more than 17 million yuan. Since they had money in their hands, they have lived a rich life, with all kinds of luxury goods, traveling around the country, eating a meal for several thousand yuan, and spending money like soil. Before they knew it, the two spent more than 2 million yuan in entertainment venues such as bars and nightclubs. During this period, the two also became obsessed with drugs and online gambling. They also bought gifts on the platform to reward the anchors. They spent more than 3 million yuan on the online platform's female anchors just by giving gifts.

The case is currently under further trial. (Original title: He was cheated of 17 million by the "female anchor" in three years, and the scammer was actually two men!
