"I'm still shocked that the nearly 600,000 yuan that was stolen has finally come back. On March 18, Liu, 76, called prosecutors from the Yongkang City Procuratorate in Zhejiang Province to tell them the good news.
In December 2019, in order to facilitate access to the demolition money, Liu went to the bank to apply for a savings card. At the same time, he bought a mobile phone card starting with 153 in his real name, and used this number to register a payment software account and bind it to a savings card.
Five months later, Liu felt that it was a waste for the mobile phone card to be idle for a long time, so he went to the business hall to cancel the mobile phone number.
Until July 2023, Liu suddenly thought that he still had a demolition fund of nearly 600,000 yuan in his savings card, because he was in urgent need of money. She hurriedly took her savings card to the bank to withdraw money, but the counter staff told her that the money in the card had been transferred out one after another. Liu was taken aback, and immediately asked the staff to inquire about the transaction process in the card in the past three years, and found that the money was transferred out one after another from 2021 to 2023, and it was transferred from the payment software account bound to the 153 mobile phone number.
At this time, Liu suddenly remembered that three years ago, when he canceled his mobile phone number, he did not unbind the payment software account, and the account has always been bound to a savings card.
On August 4, 2023, Liu subsequently called the police. After investigation, the police believed that Yang, a user of the 153 mobile phone number, was suspected of a major crime. After being summoned, Yang admitted that he had taken the money after arriving at the case.
On January 24, 2024, the public security organs transferred Yang to the Yongkang Procuratorate for review and prosecution. After review, the prosecutor found that more than a year after Liu cancelled the 153 mobile phone number, the operator put the mobile phone number back into circulation in October 2021, and was later registered and used by Yang with his real name.
According to Yang's confession, when he used his mobile phone number to register for a payment software account, he found out that he had already registered. He thought it was normal, so he logged in with a phone verification code and set a new password. It wasn't until an online shopping that Yang chose to pay with this account that he found that his account that he had never topped up could be successfully paid. After careful research, Yang found that the account was tied to someone else's savings card.
After investigation, from December 2021 to June 2023, Yang transferred a total of more than 590,000 yuan from a savings card under Liu's name to a payment software account, and then withdrew more than 390,000 yuan in 371 cash installments through the account. After the incident, Yang's family has returned all of Liu's losses. The Yongkang Procuratorate believes that Yang secretly stole other people's property for the purpose of illegal possession on multiple occasions, and the amount is huge, and he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of theft, and indicted on January 30, 2024.
On March 15, the court sentenced Yang to three years and six months in prison and a fine of 100,000 yuan for theft.

This verdict is not only a punishment for the criminal behavior of the new owner, but also a warning to the majority of users. It reminds us that when canceling a mobile phone number or changing a mobile phone number, we must unbind various accounts and businesses related to the mobile phone number in time, so as not to leave opportunities for criminals. At the same time, it also reminds us to strengthen the awareness of personal information protection to avoid personal information leakage and theft.
Therefore, before logging out of the phone, you must remember to unbind the relevant software
