Routine one: Create a bumper accident in broad daylight

Mr. Zhang, a citizen, was almost "routineized" by this new type of fraud method.

It turned out that the online car did not run for a few days, Mr. Zhang heard about the strange experience of the company's peers, and the end was that the vehicle was forcibly recovered by the company, and the deposit and rent were lost because of the violation of the contract. The words of the group made Mr. Zhang suspicious, and in order to avoid the vehicle being forcibly withdrawn, he simply decided to sleep in the car.

Something that gave him a bad hunch still happened.

On the evening of November 4, 2021, Mr. Zhang found someone sneaking close to the vehicle, and the person saw that there was someone in the car and left. The next day, when Mr. Zhang got out of the car, he noticed that a white car was always trailing behind, and when he pulled over, the collision caused an accident.

Mr. Zhang felt that something was wrong and reported to the Qingpu police. After being tracked down by the police, the parties finally admitted that they were entrusted with a price of 500 yuan to touch Mr. Porcelain Zhang's car. To Mr. Zhang's surprise, the client was Jin Mou, the owner of the car rental company he worked for.

Routine two: install software to control the vehicle to cut off oil and power

According to Jin's account, in addition to creating a car accident, he will also install remote control software and positioning system on the car of the contracted driver, and the control software can cut off the oil and power at any time.

When these drivers sign a contract to drive for a few days, Jin will instruct his accomplices to use software to control the vehicle and recycle it, sometimes even sneaking away at night, and the driver lies that the vehicle needs to be repaired. The recovered vehicles were rented out again to other drivers, who continued to defraud rent and deposits.

Routine three: deliberately lending defective vehicles

In the process of investigating such cases, the Qingpu police also found that in addition to the above-mentioned fraud methods, some criminal gangs will also rent vehicles with scratches on their own surface to the driver, take advantage of the careless negligence of most drivers when inspecting the car, ask the driver to compensate at a price of 500 yuan when receiving the car, and also use the clause in the contract that "if there is a violation of the law, it is a breach of contract", deliberately falsely claiming that the vehicle has a traffic violation to defraud the car rental personnel of the deposit.

Routine four: set the operating fee that cannot "reach the line"

Mr. Fan, a 47-year-old citizen who lives in Minhang, was attracted by the treatment of an online pulling platform with a "monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, five social insurances and one gold" for 3 months.

After determining to pay an operating fee of 480 yuan per day and signing a car rental contract with the other party, paying a management fee of 7700 yuan and a vehicle deposit, Mr. Fan began to sports cars. But after three days of operation, the income is very little. Since he did not make money, Mr. Fan did not agree to pay the 960 yuan operating fee and was ready to cancel the cooperation.

However, at this time, the company where the fraudster was working used to send someone to inspect the vehicle, and determined that the scratches on the car were caused by Mr. Fan, and because Mr. Fan unilaterally breached the contract, he had to deduct a deposit of 5200 yuan as a liquidated damages, which eventually led to Mr. Fan's property loss.

According to the police, because the vehicles provided by the fraud gang are bound to a niche unpopular platform, it is difficult for ordinary drivers to meet the standard of flow.
