If there is a feng shui master who can accurately calculate your health and family situation at the first meeting, will you believe it? If this feng shui master says that charging tens of thousands of yuan, hundreds of thousands of yuan, or even millions of yuan can change your fortune, will you take the bait? Why can a feng shui master accurately tell fortunes? What is the trick behind this?
Feng Shui master fortune teller calculates "there must be a catastrophe"
Spend money to transship
Ms. Hu of Shanghai accidentally met a "feng shui master", who accurately calculated her family situation without meeting her. After that, "The Master" predicted that Ms. Hu would have a serious illness in 2025.
Ms. Hu herself is diabetic and is very concerned about her health problems, and the "master" said that paying money can help her avoid the disease. So, Ms. Hu transferred more than 30,000 yuan from the card to the "master". At the same time, the "master" also instructed Ms. Hu not to tell this matter, otherwise it would reveal the secret of heaven. But Ms. Hu still told her friend, who persuaded her to call the police as soon as possible.
After questioning, the police learned that Ms. Hu was taken directly to the "master" from the beauty salon, and the person who took her over was Yang, the manager of the beauty salon.
Yang said that this "feng shui master" teaches at a university and has a national second-level feng shui master certificate, which is a feng shui master recognized by the state. Yang said that he had a lot of money thanks to this "master".
After listening to Yang's introduction, Ms. Hu became curious about this "feng shui master". So, Yang drove Ms. Hu to meet the "master".
Beauty salons as accomplices
The female customer was defrauded of more than 4.5 million yuan
When the police launched an investigation, they found that another woman in Shanghai had a similar experience.
Ms. Liao, 46, often goes to the beauty salon for maintenance, and she has a good conversation with the manager of the beauty salon, Qian. In Ms. Liao's opinion, Qian can be regarded as her best friend. Ms. Liao had suffered from depression, and Qian suggested that Ms. Liao find a "feng shui master" for transport. Under the recommendation of Qian, Ms. Liao met this "master".
During the conversation, Ms. Liao was surprised that this "master" could accurately calculate even if he had undergone surgery herself. The "master" said that as long as he spent some money to do a ritual, he could change his health luck, and Qian also strongly recommended Ms. Liao to transfer. As a result, Ms. Liao successively paid a total of 4.538 million yuan to the "master" in order to improve the health of her family and the operation of her tea factory.
"Feng Shui masters" colluded with 37 beauty salon managers
Provide customer details
What is the origin of this "master"? When she met the victim for the first time, how could she accurately tell the victim's physical and family situation? With the police investigation, the truth gradually emerged.
After investigation, the country does not have the title of second-level feng shui master at all, and this "feng shui master" was previously engaged in the work of Wen Mei. As a result, the police arrested the "feng shui master" Sun and seized the props and scripts she used in fortune telling.
After investigation, Sun used some contacts he had made in the beauty industry to collude with 37 beauty salons in Shanghai to defraud customers.
Sun's WeChat chat records with the manager of the beauty salon show that before the store manager took the victim to fortune-telling, he would send the customer's name, birthday, occupation, children's status, family status and other information to Sun in advance, and even provided the customer's usual consumption amount in the store.
Zhang Yingyi, Prosecutor of the First Procuratorate Department of the Minhang District Procuratorate of Shanghai:
First of all, through the pre-beauty shop, we will pave the way for customers to be interested in the "master". In the second step, the "master" will tell the customer's private information during the fortune telling, so that the customer thinks that it is the customer information calculated by the "master" through fortune telling.
The police told that Sun and others would first find out the customer's economic situation. For different victims, the prices they offer are completely different, and they vary greatly, ranging from 10,000 yuan to several hundred thousand yuan.
The transfer records between Sun and her partner Cheng and several beauty salon managers show that she will share 50% of her income with the store managers, so the beauty salon managers will be very active in pulling people's heads.
The procuratorate alleged that between June 2022 and June 2023, Sun and Cheng defrauded a total of more than 20 million yuan in the name of feng shui, and 17 people, including beauty salon staff Qian and Qin, defrauded more than 7 million yuan to 70,000 yuan respectively.
On February 29 this year, the Shanghai Minhang District People's Court made a judgment in this case, and the defendants Sun and Cheng committed fraud and were sentenced to 11 years and 10 years in prison, deprived of political rights for one year, and fined 300,000 yuan. Defendants Qian X, Qin X and 17 other defendants committed the crime of fraud and were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three years to six months, suspended sentences of five to one year, and fined.
