A mobile phone store in Jincheng, Shanxi Province, came to a "local tyrant" guest, and bought 12 new Apple mobile phones for more than 10,000 yuan in one go, and what is even more "heroic" is that he still does not bargain. When the shopkeeper saw this, his heart blossomed, and he immediately took out the collection code. But the day after the phone was sold, the boss's bank card was frozen due to wire fraud, what is the situation???
In recent years, the Criminal Investigation Brigade has accurately grasped the new changes and trends of the current telecommunications network fraud crimes, and has continued to increase the prevention and crackdown on money laundering risks while working precise prevention, source control and comprehensive management, and recently cut off a "money laundering" gray industrial chain, smashed a criminal gang of "money laundering by purchasing and selling mobile phones", and arrested 3 criminal suspects, involving more than 400,000 yuan.
"Comrade policeman, my bank card has been frozen by the public security organs. "On April 2, 2024, Ms. Wu, who lives in the urban area of Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, came to the urban public security to report that her bank card was suddenly frozen. Hearing what Ms. Wu said, the police hurriedly inquired about the specific situation.
It turned out that Ms. Wu ran a mobile phone store, on April 1, a man came to the store, a mouth to ask for 12 of the latest Apple mobile phones, each mobile phone is worth more than 10,000 yuan, a big order came, Ms. Wu hurriedly received, did not expect the man to be very refreshing, directly took out the mobile phone to Ms. Wu transfer. The man then asked Ms. Wu to send the 12 iPhones to the Phoenix Mountain Forest Park.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Ms. Wu's bank card was prompted to freeze, and after inquiring at the bank, she learned that the bank card was frozen by the public security organ, so she hurriedly came to the public security organ to understand the situation.
After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, the police handling the case judged that there should be a problem with the bank card paid by the man. Subsequently, the case was immediately analyzed and judged, and it was found that the person who transferred the bank card was a victim of telecommunications network fraud in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. The more than 100,000 yuan of the man's mobile phone was all defrauded by the victim of wire fraud.
The police handling the case immediately launched an investigation against the man who ordered the mobile phone, and determined the identity of the suspect and his accomplices through information research and judgment. According to clues, the police who handled the case rushed to Heze City and Jining City, Shandong Province overnight, and successively arrested Liu (male, 22 years old, from Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province) and Kou (female, 42 years old, from Xinzheng City, Henan Province).
After the two suspects were arrested, the police who handled the case immediately conducted a surprise interrogation, found out that Kou was active in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, and immediately rushed to Zhengzhou, Henan Province overnight, and with the strong cooperation of the Zhengzhou police in Henan, the police handling the case arrested Li (male, 21 years old, from Anyang City, Henan Province) by squatting and waiting.
After investigation, the three people were hired by an overseas fraud gang to engage in money laundering activities, and took a commission of 50 yuan per mobile phone, and "laundered" the illegal gains from telecommunications fraud by transferring and selling mobile phones. On March 31, overseas telecom network fraudsters contacted Wu, the owner of a mobile phone store in our city, and Liu purchased 12 Apple mobile phones by transferring the stolen money to the mobile phone store's collection account. Later, the criminal suspects Li and Kou respectively transferred their mobile phones to achieve the purpose of laundering money for overseas telecommunications fraud gangs.
It is now ascertained that under the unified organization and arrangement of overseas fraud gangs, the three people have successively purchased and transferred 36 Apple mobile phones in the above way in our city, Changzhi City, Heze City, Jining City in Shandong Province, Jining City and other places, committing a total of 5 crimes, involving an amount of 400,000 yuan. After solving the case, 18 mobile phones involved in the case have been recovered.
At present, the three are all under criminal detention, and the investigation and collusion of the case are still ongoing. (Jincheng District Public Security)
