Urgent reminders
Let's see if there is such a "black box" at home
It's hidden, but it's very harmful!
Broadband company staff
After a home visit
He lives in Uncle Wang's house in Chaoyang District, Beijing
There is an extra "black box"
This "black box" is not simple
Not long ago, the police of the Huajiadi Police Station of the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau of Beijing carried out a loving visit in the jurisdiction. When the policeman Guo Zhehao walked into the house of resident Uncle Wang, the old man happened to have something to ask for help. Uncle Wang said that a few days ago, a staff member of a broadband company went to his home to repair the broadband network, and after that, the landline phone at home could not be used.
Uncle Wang's telephone line terminal
A black "set-top box" style device
attracted Guo Zhehao's attention
This box
It is the "culprit" that interferes with the fixed-line signal
Not only that, this black box Guo Zhehao had seen before when he was handling the case, and it was a voice gateway device called VOIP. This device can realize the conversion of overseas network signals into fixed-line signals in the city, and the power connection can automatically enter the continuous working state, and because it is installed in residents' homes, it is very hidden.
Homes where VOIP devices are installed
The network cable will be silent
Exploited by wire fraud gangs to engage in fraudulent activities
Signal conversion via VOIP
Other members of the public when they receive fraudulent calls from overseas
The landline phone number starting with 010 will be displayed
The wire fraud gang is based on this
Lower the vigilance of scammers
The police judged that the staff of the broadband company that provided the door-to-door service was fake. With the help of the property personnel in the community, the police quickly obtained the physical characteristics of the suspect man. The next day, when the suspect reappeared and was about to come to the door for "network maintenance", he was caught red-handed by the police.
The suspect said he saw a job posting online and applied for a job as an "equipment installer." The "boss" contacted him via online video and WeChat, distributed badges and tooling that pretended to be the staff of the broadband company, and mailed him VOIP equipment by courier.
It is reported that other members of the gang will pretend to be the customer service of a broadband company to make random phone calls and make appointments for door-to-door services on the grounds of increasing bandwidth for free or carrying out signal maintenance. After the appointment was successful, the suspect was contacted, informed of the installation location, and asked him to come to the door for installation.
A month of time
The suspect followed the instructions of the "boss".
Dozens of VOIP devices were installed at the door
The profit was nearly 10,000 yuan
Most of the victims are elderly
presently
The suspect has been criminally detained in accordance with the law
Further work is underway on the case
