Modern Express News (correspondent Ge Tailiang, reporter Cao Dewei) tailor-made "wine nursery", people are invincible. Since 2020, the Zhenjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau New District Bureau and the Criminal Police Detachment have started from a seemingly simple consumer dispute, destroyed a number of extraordinarily large "online and offline collusion with liquor trust" fraud gangs in one fell swoop, arrested 115 fraud suspects, and expanded the line to identify more than 400 fraud cases inside and outside the province, involving more than 1,200 victims, and the funds involved reached more than 30 million yuan. The Ministry of Public Security successfully detected the case listed for supervision, bringing more than 220 cases from other provinces. At present, 105 persons have been prosecuted and 3 have been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison, while the rest have been given suspended sentences ranging from five years.
I thought it was a sexual encounter, but I didn't think it was a "wine trust"
On the afternoon of December 15, Chen Tongtong, deputy captain of the criminal investigation brigade of the New District Public Security Bureau, recalled to reporters the origin of the case, and the time was back to about 15:00 on July 25, 2020, when he was also serving as the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation at the Dingjiao police station of the substation, and received a warning on a consumer dispute. In a coffee shop in the jurisdiction, the single victim met with female netizens, and in just a few minutes, ordered a small fruit plate and red wine, and consumed 498 yuan, and the other party asked to pay the bill first. When the other party continued to recommend the 898 yuan and 1688 yuan packages, the victim felt cheated and then called the police.
When Chen Tongtong rushed to the coffee shop after receiving the police, he found that there was only 1 male staff left in the store. After preliminary sorting, since January 2020, there have been several alarms about encountering "wine trusts" in the area near a commercial complex under the jurisdiction of the police station, but because the two sides reached an agreement afterwards, they were treated as ordinary consumer disputes.
Is it an ordinary consumer dispute? Or is it a routine scam? Chen Tongtong felt that it was not so simple. Subsequently, the police further sorted out all similar police situations in Zhenjiang City in the past two years, and keenly found that this was likely to be an organized fraud gang, and a small number of police-related parties even had similar police records in other cities in Jiangsu Province. Because they were previously treated as ordinary consumer disputes, the people involved in the case felt that the police would not be so "more real" and felt that it was a big deal to refund the money.
However, when the police checked the waiter's mobile phone, they found that the cat in the mobile phone was tired: there were multiple WeChat groups and QQ groups in the mobile phone, a large number of chat records about the consumption time and consumption amount of the store, such as the "machine room", the keyboard player, the "machine room" and the "wine tray girl"... The curtain of the scam was opened one by one.
3 fraud gangs and 4 "computer rooms" were destroyed
The case was serious, and the Ding di police station quickly reported it to the new district public security sub-bureau. The party committee of the sub-bureau attaches great importance to it, and the main leaders demand that the criminal investigation department immediately start the investigation mechanism for major and important cases, set up a special case team, and go all out to carry out the investigation work.
Through the study and judgment of similar cases investigated and handled nationwide and in the province, it was found that this type of crime uses a combination of online and offline, a combination of contact and non-contact, a combination of communication fraud and ordinary fraud, and is a cross-regional group crime with many members, strict organization, clear division of labor, and hidden means, involving a number of criminal gangs such as "computer room", "shopkeeper" and "head". The special case team focused on the staff of the coffee shop involved in the case, carried out research and analysis, police intelligence comparison, and launched a preliminary investigation. The composition of the members of criminal gangs is gradually becoming clear. Just one day later, on the evening of July 26, the police in the new district organized a unified police force and arrested 4 other people involved in the case. After interrogation, the gang used this coffee shop as a den, purchased dating information from the "computer room" on the Internet, and the "wine tray woman" pretended to be a female netizen to date male netizens, and with the cooperation of the "waiter" of the coffee shop, induced male netizens to spend high orders and implemented the "wine tray" fraud.
However, offline fraudsters are caught, and their accomplices are hidden in the network. With the deepening of the investigation, the special case team analyzed the coffee shop fraud gang and found that there were two "computer rooms" that provided them with dating information for a long time. In Zhenjiang City, multiple police departments coordinated and cooperated, and on August 3, eight suspects in two "computer rooms" were arrested in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and Zigong, Sichuan. After review, it was found that the "computer room owner" of the "computer room" gang organized the "keyboard player" to rely on the online social platform, disguised as a young woman, targeted the selection of male netizens in the city and dated to meet, and then pushed the dating information to one of the roles of the offline fraud gang, "to the head", and then arranged for the "wine holder" to meet and date in coffee shops and other places according to the dating information. "Wine caregivers" and "service providers" cooperate with each other, using male netizens to fall in love, blind dates and other psychology, order shoddy cheap drinks and beverages in the store, and generate large consumption to carry out fraud.
The host police said that the fraud gang illegally made huge profits, taking the coffee shop involved in the case as an example, in just a few months, the operators earned millions of yuan.
During the interrogation of the "computer room" gang, it was found that the gang simultaneously "supplied" to a number of fraud gangs in Guangdong and Sichuan, and at the same time colluded with multiple "computer rooms". After that, the Public Security Bureau of the New District organized more than 100 police forces to carry out investigation and arrest in 5 provinces and 8 cities in Shanxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Shanghai, destroying 3 fraud gangs and destroying 4 fraud "computer rooms". On September 1, 2020, the case was listed and supervised by the Ministry of Public Security.
Expand the results of the battle, massage "Taolu shop" end
The curtain of fraud was unveiled, and the police in the new district continued to expand their achievements, and broke a number of fraud cases by drawing lessons from each other and associating similar police situations. Since the end of February 2020, Feng and Huang have conspired in advance and agreed to jointly fund the establishment of a "taolu shop" in Dagang Street, Zhenjiang New District, and carry out fraud in the form of "foot therapy childcare". Taking advantage of the male victim's desire to prostitute himself and not daring to call the police afterwards, the store guided the male victim to the store to enjoy "special services" by posting a small note printed with a friend's two-dimensional code. When the male victim arrives at the store, the "taolu shop" guides the victim and induces him to recharge in highly sexually suggestive language such as "kidney health care", "male private service", "imperial version of enjoyment", "fluttering immortality" and other highly sexually suggestive language in accordance with the "talking skills" and fraud procedures formulated in advance by the front desk receptionist and aesthetic therapists. When the victim is ready to enjoy a "special service", the store provides only ordinary massages and charges a high fee, thus completing the entire fraud process.
Through the investigation, the investigators found that the "outreach team" personnel in the case also used the Internet to not only provide "customer source" information to the foot therapy shops in Zhenjiang District in the form of "ground push", but also "conduct business" across provinces and cities in the form of "net push". After a related investigation, the police of the new district investigated and dealt with massage parlors in Zunyi, Guizhou, which also carried out fraud with "foot care", from individual investigation to series attack. In this case, the police in the new district arrested a total of 33 criminal suspects and cracked 133 cases, including 50 cases outside Jiangsu Province.
Li Xudong, deputy director of the New District Bureau of the Zhenjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau, said that the successful investigation and handling of the series of "childcare" cases has opened up new ideas for the work of the criminal investigation department, put forward higher requirements and standards for the work of the public security police, and will more effectively promote the improvement of the overall work and quality of the public security in the new district.
