Lending an account to help a friend take a account The police cautioned that this could be illegal

Xinmin Evening News (reporter Yuan Wei) If a friend borrows a bank card account from you to take an account, and after the fact, he will return 1.2% of the amount of the account, can such a request be granted? A few days ago, the Ouyang Road Police Station of the Hongkou Public Security Bureau arrested a suspect who helped information and verified that he had illegally profited more than 40,000 yuan.

Recently, the police of the Ouyang Road Police Station of the Hongkou Public Security Substation received an early warning clue showing that Zhou Mou, a resident of a community in Ouyang Road in the jurisdiction, had recently transferred money to an account several times, and the account had been found to be suspected of being used for telecommunications network fraud. The police were worried that Zhou had encountered telecommunications fraud, so they immediately went to his home to verify. When the police knocked on Zhou's door, Zhou showed a hint of nervousness at the moment of seeing the police. In the face of the kind inquiry of the police, Zhou Mou replied lightly with flickering words and avoiding the important. According to past experience, after encountering the police, the potential victims of telecommunications fraud either insisted that they had not been deceived, or they had been frightened, and Zhou's reaction made the police have a little doubt about the identity of the "potential victim".

In order to verify the speculation, the police carefully understood the use of Zhou's account and asked him to take out the bank card. In the face of the police's step-by-step questioning, Zhou Mou, who was already weak-minded, finally confessed the fact that he lent his account to others. According to Zhou's account, in November last year, through the introduction of his friend Huang Mou, Zhou learned that he could help with the account by lending his bank account, and after the fact, he would get a rebate of 1.2% of the amount of the account. Knowing that it may involve illegal crimes, Zhou still chose to lend his own account.

After the police investigation, Zhou's account was used by the telecommunications fraud gang to settle accounts, with a cumulative amount of nearly 3.4 million yuan, and Zhou also illegally profited more than 40,000 yuan. Fraud gangs use accounts like Zhou to transfer money multiple times to evade the police crackdown, and Zhou's behavior has also constituted the crime of helping information network crimes. At present, Zhou has been criminally detained, and the case is still under further trial.
