One day in April 2021, Wang Jian, a 46-year-old man who lives in Qidong City, Jiangsu Province, saw an advertisement introducing the treatment of male sexual function problems and cure cases while browsing the web. Having been troubled by prostate problems for a long time, Wang Jian wanted to give it a try and contacted a "doctor" named "Professor Chen" through WeChat. He claimed to be a century-old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who specializes in treating various male diseases.
"'Professor Chen' showed me his medical qualification certificate and photos of the pharmacy where he consulted in the WeChat chat. Moreover, 'Professor Chen' spoke very professionally and seemed to be very confident about my symptoms. I was like I don’t think it can be faked.” Wang Jian was afraid of being embarrassed by an acquaintance when he went to the hospital for treatment, so he decided to buy an exclusive formula “treatment” recommended by “Professor Chen” online and pay the other party 1,100 yuan through WeChat.
After receiving the goods, Wang Jian found that the packaging bags were all in foreign languages. He couldn't understand and didn't dare to take the "medicine", so he asked his family to take a look.

formed a group to cheat, and the victims were fooled one after another.
The story has to start with Chen Chunhe, the principal criminal in the case. Chen Chunhe is from Shaoyang County, Hunan Province. He once worked in Guangdong with Yang Hongliang and Luo Shenglin. After learning about some Internet fraud and techniques through friends, the idea of getting rich overnight lingered in Chen Chunhe's mind. If you dare to think, dare to do it. In August 2018, Chen Chunhe and Yang Hongliang, who were determined, discussed together and decided to make money by selling fake medicines by publishing false advertisements online. Subsequently, Chen Chunhe successively rented three locations in Shaoyang City, Hunan Province as workplaces for fraud, and established Hunan Cloud Clinic Health Consulting Co., Ltd. to commit fraud.
"We made up the Chinese medicine expert 'Professor Chen' and forged the physician qualification certificate . Every employee used the name of 'Professor Chen' to 'Xuan Hu Ji Shi' on the Internet." As soon as the company was established, Chen Chunhe and others We have agreed upon a unified “speech technique” that will be used for employee training. That is, he "receives medical treatment" online as "Professor Chen". Whenever there is a customer consultation, he will guide the customer to men's issues. When chatting with the customer, he specially prepares certain medical terms to bluff people, and even creates fake pharmacy pictures and treatments. Videos of successful cases are used to deceive customers' trust, and then recommend "treatment plans" to customers. Chen Chunhe also specially formulated two "plans". One is a rapid treatment "plan", explaining to customers that the price is about 1,300 yuan. If there is bargaining or if they are not willing to buy, the price can be reduced to about 1,200 yuan; the other is For chronic treatment "plans", explain to customers that the price of a "treatment course" is 700 yuan, which can be reduced to about 600 yuan depending on the situation; if the customer is ready to purchase, they can confirm a few more "treatment courses" and gradually defraud the money.
"The company purchased golden oysters, ginseng and deer whip slices, etc. at a low cost. A large box of pressed candies cost 8 yuan. The kidney-strengthening patch recommended to customers only cost 1 yuan per patch." The defendant Xiao Gang is Chen Chun. With a salesperson in the company, he mentioned that no matter what the customer's problem is, they only randomly match the quantity and type of shipment based on the price, and they get commission based on the sales performance.
Cheaply purchased tablet candies, randomly packaged, turned into expert prescriptions that cost nearly a thousand yuan. Such a generous "return" made Chen Chunhe's eyes shine. Unsatisfied with advertising on the Internet and "waiting," Chen Chunhe decided to expand his "business" as soon as possible. In November 2018, Chen Chunhe was introduced to Liu Tiancheng, a staff member of a pharmacy in Beijing (handled in a separate case), and specifically purchased from him the personal information of customers who had purchased drugs to treat male diseases online from the pharmacy for "active attack" phone fraud. As of the incident, Chen Chunhe had invested more than 140,000 yuan to purchase 5,708 pieces of personal information from Liu Tiancheng. In less than three years, more than 6,000 victims were defrauded by Chen Chunhe and others, spread across various provinces across the country, and the defrauded money amounted to more than 33 million yuan.
