Recently, when the Yushan Police Station of the Linshu County Public Security Bureau was handling a telecommunications network fraud case, the criminal suspect Yuan confessed that he still had a "offline" in Linyi.
According to the clues provided by Yuan, on January 2, the police of the Yushan Police Station arrested the "offline" Han (male, 27 years old, from Junan County, Linyi City) in Junan County.
After interrogation, the police found that Han was a victim before becoming Yuan's downline, and he was extorted more than 2,000 yuan by Yuan.
At the end of 2021, Han added a "female friend" to a chat software, and after a chat, the other party offered to chat naked, and sent a software installation package of a live broadcast platform for Han to install, and after Han installed it, he found that the software always flashed back, so he used another chat software to initiate a video call.
The two sides chatted naked for about five or six minutes, and then the other party sent a video recording of the naked chat just now, as well as a list of Han's mobile phone address books, in order to blackmail Han into transferring money, otherwise he would send this video to his address book friends.

Under the threat of the other party, Han transferred all the property in the mobile phone to the other party of about 2,000 yuan. What people didn't expect was that Han, as a victim, not only did not call the police, but saw that it was so easy for the other party to get money, and he had the idea of joining.
Han offered to follow along, which surprised Yuan on the other end of the network, and after a while, Han joined the overseas gang that carried out fraud and extortion as he wished, and became Yuan's "downline".
Han used his bank card and Alipay account to help "go online" Yuan to collect money from other victims. In addition to providing his own bank card to help overseas gangs "launder money", he also took the initiative to contact his friends and used his friend's bank card to collect and transfer money, making illegal profits of more than 50,000 yuan.
At present, Han has been taken criminal compulsory measures by the public security organs in accordance with the law on suspicion of extortion, and the case is being further handled.
