was defrauded of nearly 1 million yuan in one month under the guidance of a "gold medal lecturer"

In early April 2018, an unfamiliar number called the mobile phone of Tao Aihua (pseudonym), a stock investment enthusiast. After the other party asked her if she had any intention to invest in stocks, Lure him into a WeChat stock trading group. After

joined the group, Tao Aihua was dubious, but because the people in the group were very active and the information exchanged was very beneficial to stock investment, Tao Aihua relaxed his vigilance. So, through the recommendation of people in the group, she clicked on a live video of stock operations. The

live broadcast room is no different from an ordinary online teaching live broadcast room, and it has a lot of views. What Tao Aihua was watching was the live broadcast of "Teacher Li, the gold medal lecturer" advocated by members of the group. After watching it several times, Tao Aihua felt that "Teacher Li" had rich investment knowledge and stock trading experience, which would be very helpful to his own investment, so he Added "Teacher Li" as a WeChat friend.

later added his colleague Li Xiu (pseudonym) to this WeChat group. After communicating with "Teacher Li" through WeChat for a period of time, the two tasted the sweetness of stock investment, so they became more and more admired by "Teacher Li".

"A-shares have entered a bear market this year. The risk of investing in A-shares is high, but investing in stock index futures has relatively low risks and high returns. I suggest you invest in Hong Kong stock index futures." In late April, Tao Aihua and his wife received a message from "Teacher Li" WeChat message prompts. At this time, Tao Aihua and his wife had already believed in each other and obeyed their words.

Under the guidance of "Teacher Li", Tao Aihua and his wife first downloaded the "Hong Kong Stock Trading" software. After opening an account on the "XX Hong Kong Stock Trading Platform", they transferred the investment funds to the account attached to the software and started trading with 100,000 yuan.

was deceived and lost money, Tao Aihua and his wife still could not wake up. It wasn't until the two accidentally saw news reports of similar incidents on the Internet that they suddenly woke up and regretted their mistakes.

Soon, the two also discovered that the WeChat group that was active at the time was disbanded at some point, and "Teacher Li" had long since disappeared. While feeling frightened, Tao Aihua dialed the number of Shaoyang City Shuangqing Public Security Bureau.

Multi-party cooperation with fraud dens outside the province was traced

After receiving the call, the police from Shuangqing Public Security Bureau of Shaoyang City determined that the case was a telecommunications fraud case based on the preliminary investigation, and on June 21 A special task force was set up to investigate the case. The

task force first used capital flow and information flow as breakthrough points and discovered that the trading funds of Tao Aihua and his wife on the "XX Hong Kong Stocks" trading platform flowed into their private accounts. After further investigation, it was also found that the "XX Hong Kong Stocks" trading platform did not obtain relevant financial transaction qualifications and was purely a fake trading platform.

Therefore, the task force continued to conduct an in-depth investigation using information flow as clues. With the guidance and help of the Anti-Telecom Fraud Center of the Provincial Public Security Department and the Municipal Public Security Bureau, it was found that the location of "Teacher Li" and his "team" was in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. A certain district. After

rushed to a certain district in Shenzhen, the task force conducted extensive investigations and found that "Teacher Li" and his "team" members frequently visited "XX E-commerce Company". By investigating the company, the task force learned the basic information of Zhang Yuan (pseudonym), the actual investor of the company, and locked in on "Teacher Li" and his "team", as well as Zhang Yuan's foothold.

htmlAt 10:00 on July 6, the task force, with the cooperation of the Shenzhen and Guangzhou police, mobilized more than 60 police officers, divided into three groups, to attack "a certain e-commerce company" in Shenzhen, a hotel in Shenzhen, and Guangzhou A community in the city launched an arrest operation at the same time and arrested 24 suspects including "Teacher Li" and his "team" as well as Zhang Yuan. 22 computers involved, 4 vehicles, more than 300 mobile phones, and more than 40 bank cards were seized on the spot. open.

html On the 7th, the task force escorted all 24 suspects back to Shaoyang and started interrogation overnight.

(Suspect arrested)

Except for the victim, all members of the criminal gang were members of the criminal gang.

was interrogated on site and the criminal suspect confessed to the facts of the telecom fraud crime. It was found that this case was a telecom fraud case involving a large gang, involving more than 100 million yuan, with more than 1,000 victims spread across the country. It was the telecom fraud case with the largest amount of money and the greatest social impact in the history of Shaoyang City.

In the Tao Aihua case, the WeChat stock trading group that Tao and Li joined was a WeChat group carefully designed by the criminal suspect. Only the two victims, Tao Aihua, were investors in the group, that is, the targets of the fraud. The rest were members of criminal gangs. The purpose is to create false impressions through numerous speeches and encourage victims to invest large amounts of money. There are many WeChat groups like

. Usually each group only deceives one person. Once successful, the criminal suspect will immediately disband the group and disappear. In addition, the gang also privately designed and produced software for "speculating on Hong Kong stocks" and sent the victim a download link. After the victim downloaded it, the victim was asked to transfer investment funds to the account attached to the software.

Subsequently, the criminal suspect will randomly direct and perform reverse operations to induce the victim to invest in Hong Kong index futures, which has seriously broken the trend, resulting in capital losses and getting deeper and deeper. But in fact, the victim’s investment money was not invested in the stock index market, but flowed into the criminal gang’s private account.

The "brilliant part" of this scam is that what the victim sees on the fake trading platform is basically the same as the transaction situation on the real trading platform. When the victim wants to liquidate his position, the "teacher" will comfort and advise him to wait until the market improves to recover the money; when the victim makes up his mind to "cut off the money", he can really withdraw the remaining money from the fake trading platform. Because fraud is so concealed, many victims fail to wake up after being deceived.

Currently, all 24 suspects in this case are under criminal detention in accordance with the law, and the case is under further investigation.
