At present, a large number of "real-name untrue" bank cards and telephone cards are purchased by suspects and then carry out telecommunications fraud, which brings great difficulties to the police in tracking down and cracking down. Therefore, cutting off the trading chain of telephone cards and bank cards is equivalent to "cutting off food" for fraudsters, which is of great significance for suppressing electrical fraud cases. Recently, the South Bank District Public Security Bureau insisted on "grasping prevention with one hand and grasping the source with the other", insisted on fighting a combined fist against telecommunications network fraud, and successfully destroyed a criminal gang that helped the letter, involving more than 10 million yuan.

The so-called "help letter" refers to the provision of technical support such as Internet access, server hosting, network storage, communication transmission, etc. for their crimes, or providing assistance such as advertising promotion, payment and settlement, in accordance with article 287 bis [Crimes of Aiding Information Network Criminal Activities] in accordance with article 287 bis of the Criminal Law, and knowing that others are using information networks to commit crimes, or providing assistance such as advertising promotion, payment and settlement, if the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined or fined individually.

On January 10, 2022, the Jiguanshi Police Station of the South Bank District Public Security Bureau received a clue: someone used the rebate as bait to invite others to provide bank cards and electronic banks to commit telecommunications fraud crimes. After receiving this clue, the police immediately organized elite forces to investigate, in the process of investigating the case, a man named Ma Mou entered the police line of sight, along the Ma mou this clue to peel off the cocoon, one by one analysis, the police gradually grasped the full evidence of his crime.

After investigation, the police found that this is a criminal gang headed by suspect Ma Mou. Since September last year, Ma has contacted overseas fraud organizations, in order to obtain high illegal rebates, Ma invited people everywhere to join, and in just 1 month quickly set up a "gang letter" criminal gang headed by Ma mou and a total of 9 people. The division of labor within the criminal gang is clear, some people are responsible for finding "card suppliers" in lure methods such as "running cards and running points" and "flowing rebates", some people are responsible for driving motor vehicles to pick up and drop off "card suppliers" to "trading locations", some people are responsible for watching the scene at the scene of the help letter transaction, and some people are responsible for logistical bookkeeping. According to Ma's confession, the gang will choose the "running point" and "flowing rebate" scene in advance before each implementation of the "running point", and the location is mostly set in a more remote location, and at the same time, it will also evade the investigation of the police through non-stop "transfer".

On January 12, when the gang members were arrested by the police, Ma also used the video to conduct remote command. Just when he was still immersed in the excitement of having money to pay the bills, the police acted quickly and arrested the suspect Ma Mou on January 13.

During the interrogation, one of the bank card providers expressed confusion: the first time I came into contact with the sale of bank cards was on a part-time small advertisement, and at first I did not believe that there was a good thing that pie fell from the sky, but the other party always stressed: It's okay, just do it a favor, I also do this, I'm not okay. You give me the card you don't use, I give you the hard fee, what a crime. When he watched the idle bank card become the balance in the WeChat wallet, all his worries disappeared, and he did not know that he had become an accomplice of criminals.

Up to now, the gang has carried out more than 10 "help letter" crimes through "running points", the amount involved has reached more than 10 million yuan, and the illegal profits have reached more than 200,000 yuan, and now all members of the gang have been taken compulsory measures by the South Coast police, and the case is being further investigated.
