Recently, the court made a first-instance judgment in the case of Liang X's fraud initiated by the procuratorate of Xinchang County, Zhejiang Province, in accordance with the law, and sentenced the defendant Liang X to 11 years' imprisonment and a fine of 160,000 yuan.
"Internal channels, Sinopec, PetroChina oil truck 10% off sale!" In December 2020, Zhu Mou saw someone in the circle of friends who claimed to buy oil cards at a low price, which was very heartwarming. So she contacted the seller, and within a month, she bought a total of 876,000 yuan worth of oil cards, and actually paid 786,000 yuan.
"Cheap" came so easily, Zhu Mou, who tasted "sweetness", increased "investment". However, as the "investment" becomes larger and larger, the progress of the oil card to the account is getting slower and slower, and the seller lies that the oil card is tight during the Spring Festival, and it needs to be approved by the leadership layer to approve the loan, wait and wait, urge and urge again, but always can not reach the account. After Zhu felt cheated, he called the police. In just two months, Zhu was defrauded of more than 610,000 yuan. In addition to Zhu Mou, more than 30 people have been deceived.
After investigation, the "seller" Liang Mou, more than 30 years old, pregnant, idle at home during the epidemic period, has no fixed income, and is in large debts. In the face of increasing economic burden and debt collection pressure, a fuel card advertisement in the circle of friends allowed her to find a way to quickly make money: first send a message in the circle of friends that "there is a discount oil card in internal channels" to attract customers to buy oil cards, and then use the customer's money to repay debts and personal consumption, and then use the customer's money to buy a fuel card for the previous customer, using the time difference to obtain funds to fill the debt loophole.
After Liang released the first information on the sale of discounted oil cards through the circle of friends, he did not expect that the business was still very good, and there were constantly people who paid for the discounted oil cards, and Liang took the advance payment to Sinopec at the original price to buy the oil card and delivered it to the card buyer, gaining the trust of the card buyer. One pass ten, ten pass hundred, more and more people buy discount oil cards, from the initial few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, and some people take the initiative to contact and be willing to be her special agent. With the continuous increase in the number of agents, Liang also continued to expand the customer base, broaden the source of customers, and maintain the capital chain by returning the old way, in this way, 20 million yuan of funds flowed into Liang's pocket, and Liang has made more than 3.7 million yuan from it.
After 8 months of difficult maintenance, the deficit caused by the purchase of oil cards at the original price and then the sale of discounts has become larger and larger, and the difference between the advance collection and the actual delivery of oil cards has been more than 3 million yuan. Because the amount of money paid by the new customer is far from the amount needed to buy the card, the speed of Liang's delivery of the oil card is getting slower and slower, and the customer becomes suspicious after urging, and the customer source continues to lose. In the end, Liang's capital chain was completely broken, the victim called the police, and Liang's scam was completely exposed.
