During the festival, sending red envelopes and grabbing red envelopes through WeChat, Alipay, etc., has become a new way for many young people to bless their relatives and friends. Unexpectedly, a woman received a red envelope of 10,000 yuan by "blinding" the password on Alipay.
It all started on February 10 this year. It was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Mr. Wang, a citizen, prepared a red envelope of 20,000 yuan for his parents, and he sent out the password red envelope after setting the password "Happy New Year to my parents" through Alipay. To Mr. Wang's surprise, after his mother received one of the 10,000 yuan red envelopes, the other 10,000 yuan red envelope was "taken" by a stranger, so he quickly called the police.
Xing Jingyao, a police officer who has been engaged in criminal investigation work for many years, has encountered the new criminal form of stealing Alipay password red envelopes for the first time, and he saw from the Alipay interface that it was a male user from other provinces who snatched Mr. Wang's red envelopes, and Mr. Wang also left a message on the Alipay platform, but the other party did not respond.
Xing Jingyao conducted an in-depth study of Alipay's password red envelope rules, the password red envelope sender can customize the password content and the number of red envelopes, anyone can receive the password red envelope as long as they enter the correct password, but if the red envelope in the password is not all collected, others cannot set the password red envelope with the same password. He judged that because the red envelope receiving password set by Mr. Wang was too simple, someone used the password red envelope to set rules and "steal" Mr. Wang's red envelope.
After contacting Alipay, it was learned that the Alipay holder was Liang, and at the same time, it was learned that Liang frequently used Alipay to send and receive Alipay password red envelopes before and after the Spring Festival. After researching and judging Liang's personal information, police officer Li Hongbo reported to the relevant departments for approval, and listed the man as a fugitive online.
On February 26, the suspect Liang was arrested by the police of the Guigang Station Police Station of the Nanning Railway Public Security Bureau, and on March 1, the police of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Sub-bureau rushed to Guangxi to bring the suspect Liang back. According to Liang's confession, his Alipay account has been used by his ex-girlfriend Lin, and he did not want it back after the breakup, and he did not know about the "stealing" of red envelopes. After verifying the information provided by Liang, the police determined that Lin was suspected of committing a major crime, and by publishing information on the Internet, the news that the suspect Lin was arrested by the police of the Tangxia Police Station in Tianhe District, Guangzhou City soon came.
On April 9, the police of the Criminal Investigation Brigade rushed to Guangzhou to bring back the suspect Lin, who truthfully confessed how he took away the password red envelope. He has been using Liang's Alipay account, on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year on February 10, he was bored while resting in the room, so he thought about whether he could grab some other people's password red envelopes, and tried for a long time but didn't get them, and when he entered "Happy New Year to his parents", he grabbed a large red envelope with a face value of 10,000 yuan. When he saw Mr. Wang's message asking him for a red envelope on the Alipay platform, the suspect Lin always took a chance and did not return the red envelope.
At present, the suspect Lin has been taken compulsory measures in accordance with the law, and the 10,000 yuan red envelope has been fully returned to the victim, and the case is being further investigated.
In this regard, some netizens believe that the password red envelope is public and should not constitute a crime.
Some netizens also said that it is an unjust enrichment, which must be considered a crime.
Some netizens said that it was inappropriate for the person who sent the red envelope to send a large amount of red envelopes through a password.
Of course, some netizens believe that there are loopholes in Alipay's rules, and the platform should strengthen supervision.
