At the beginning of 2024, the Sichuan police successfully detected a huge fraud case that shocked the whole country. This scam, which used "chicken treasure" as bait, actually led more than 2,000 victims into a trap, and the amount involved was as high as more than 4 million yuan.
Liao Xiaosheng and his wife Xu Yufeng, the masterminds behind Tianqige Culture Co., Ltd., took advantage of people's desire to get rich and carefully weaved a huge fraud net. From the lump in the belly of an ordinary old hen, to the priceless "chicken treasure", to the sales platform set up layer by layer, how did this scam work step by step, and finally bankrupt many victims? Let's step into this jaw-dropping "chicken treasure" scam and uncover its mystery.
In February 2021, the Spring Festival is approaching, and Wang Zhongsheng from Bijie City, Guizhou Province, is preparing to buy New Year's goods as usual. He picked a fat old hen at the local market and planned to make a pot of fragrant and delicious chicken soup for his family.
However, the gears of fate inadvertently began to turn.
When Wang Zhongsheng began to process the chicken, he was stunned by an unexpected discovery. In the belly of the chicken, he found a yellow lump of flesh, the size of a goose egg, with a hard texture.
This unusual discovery made Wang Zhongsheng lose his interest in cooking for a moment, replaced by endless curiosity and a hint of unease.
With a stomach full of questions, Wang Zhongsheng began to search for relevant information on the Internet. At this moment, a life-changing search result appeared in front of him: "chicken treasure" - a rare chicken gallstone that is said to have special medicinal properties and is expensive.
Wang Zhongsheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he repeatedly confirmed the "treasure" in his hand in disbelief.
Just when Wang Zhongsheng was immersed in the dream of becoming rich, a person claiming to be a customer service of the Apocalypse Pavilion took the initiative to contact him. The customer service was enthusiastic and claimed that he could conduct a professional appraisal of Wang Zhongsheng's "chicken treasure".
With the mentality of giving it a try, Wang Zhongsheng readily agreed.
It didn't take long for the Apocalypse Pavilion to come with a shocking appraisal result: the value of this "chicken treasure" was as high as 880,000 yuan! This news was like a bombshell, which instantly detonated the ecstasy in Wang Zhongsheng's heart.
He was so excited that he was at a loss, as if he saw the hope of turning his life around in front of him.
At the suggestion of customer service, Wang Zhongsheng put "Ji Bao" on the platform of Tianqi Pavilion for sale. Soon, the comment area became lively, and many netizens expressed their interest in this rare treasure.
Looking at the endless stream of inquiry information, Wang Zhongsheng was even more convinced that he was about to become rich overnight.
Unbeknownst to Wang, however, he had fallen into an elaborate scam trap. Those seemingly genuine reviews and inquiries were actually forged by employees of Apocalypse Pavilion using the same IP address.
They have only one goal: to lure more victims like Wang Zhongsheng into the bait.
In this way, an ordinary old hen, a meat lump that was accidentally discovered, turned into a "chicken treasure" worth 880,000 yuan in the lies carefully woven by the Apocalypse Pavilion.
And Wang Zhongsheng also unknowingly became a part of this huge scam. He waits with anticipation for the buyer to appear, but unbeknownst to him, a heartbreaking scam awaits him.
With the "Ji Bao" being hung on the platform of the Apocalypse Pavilion, Wang Zhongsheng's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. He spends his days in front of his computer, waiting for someone to come and buy his "treasure".
Soon, the comment area was lively, and many netizens expressed their strong interest in this rare treasure.
Just when Wang Zhongsheng was worried about sales, a buyer named "White Tea" appeared. The buyer, who claims to be a veteran antique collector, has shown great enthusiasm for Wang Zhongsheng's "chicken treasure".
White Tea claimed that he had purchased a collection worth more than 20 million yuan, which made Wang Zhongsheng even more convinced that he was about to usher in a windfall.
However, things did not turn out as Wang Zhongsheng had hoped. White tea has agreed on trading times again and again, but it has always been a no-show for various reasons. Sometimes I was quarantined because I was on a business trip, and sometimes I said that I had an urgent matter.
Every time he missed the appointment, Baicha was very apologetic, which made Wang Zhongsheng disappointed, but he was embarrassed to blame.
In this process, the customer service of the Apocalypse Pavilion played a crucial role. They continued to appease Wang Zhongsheng's emotions, but also made some seemingly reasonable demands.
For example, in order to ensure that the transaction goes smoothly, both parties need to pay a certain amount of margin. In addition, they have also introduced a membership system, claiming that only by becoming a member can you communicate directly with buyers.
Wang Zhongsheng hesitated, but finally decided to pay the deposit and membership fee. He thought to himself, compared to the huge income of 880,000, these expenses are really insignificant.
Unbeknownst to him, however, this was an elaborate trap designed by the scammers.
Behind the scenes, the employees of the Apocalypse Pavilion are busy falsifying reviews and creating the illusion that the deal is hot. They use the same IP address to post a large number of inquiries and inquiries in order to attract more victims like Wang Zhongsheng to take the bait.
The scary thing about this scam is its circularity. When a victim pays for a membership, the crooks move on to the next target. The previous victim will not give up easily because they have already invested in it, and continue to sink in the scam.
As time went on, Wang's patience ran out. He began to doubt the authenticity of the entire transaction and decided to take the initiative. However, when he tried to contact White Tea and customer service, he found that he had been blacklisted.
Wang Zhongsheng, who was very anxious, decided to go to Sichuan in person to find the Tianqi Pavilion Company. However, when he came to the scene according to the address provided by the customer service, he found that there was no Apocalypse Pavilion there at all.
Reality hit Wang Zhongsheng hard. He finally realizes that he may have fallen for an elaborate scam. The "chicken treasure" worth 880,000, the enthusiastic customer service, and the mysterious buyer white tea, everything is fake.
Not only did he lose valuable time and energy, but he also lost security deposits and membership fees.
Anger and shame mingled, and Wang Zhongsheng decided to report the case to the police. His move became a crucial step in exposing this large-scale fraud syndicate.
However, Wang Zhongsheng is not the only victim. The police investigation soon found that hundreds of people across the country, like Wang Zhongsheng, were lured by the huge benefits of "Ji Bao" and finally fell into the trap of scammers.
Some of these victims lost thousands of dollars, others tens of thousands. Their experiences are different, but they all have one thing in common: their desire to get rich has blinded them.
As time passed, Wang Zhongsheng's patience was gradually exhausted. The excitement and anticipation of the past have been replaced by anxiety and doubt. He began to question the authenticity of the entire transaction and decided to take the initiative and find the truth.
However, when he tried to contact the customer service of White Tea and Apocalypse Pavilion, he was met with an unexpected cold reception. Calls go unanswered, and information goes unanswered. What shocked him even more was that he found out that he had been blacklisted.
At this moment, Wang Zhongsheng felt a chill hit him, and he realized that things might be even worse than he imagined.
Wang Zhongsheng, who was unwilling to give up, decided to make a desperate bet and personally went to Sichuan to find the Tianqi Pavilion Company. With the last glimmer of hope, he came to the scene according to the address provided by the customer service earlier.
However, what awaited him was an even bigger blow - there was no Apocalypse Pavilion Company there at all.
Reality ruthlessly shattered Wang Zhongsheng's illusions. Standing in front of the empty address, he finally realizes that he may have fallen into an elaborate scam. The "chicken treasure" worth 880,000, the enthusiastic customer service, and the mysterious buyer white tea, everything is fake.
Not only did he lose valuable time and energy, but he also lost security deposits and membership fees.
The anger and shame in his heart surged like a tide, and Wang Zhongsheng stood in a strange city, feeling lonely and helpless like never before. He began to reflect on the anomalies along the way, regretting why he hadn't noticed the glaring holes sooner.
After some inner struggle, Wang Zhongsheng finally mustered up the courage and decided to report the case to the police. This decision is not only to seek justice, but also to prevent more people from falling into the same trap.
His move became a crucial step in exposing this large-scale fraud syndicate.
However, Wang Zhongsheng did not fight alone. The police investigation soon found that hundreds of people across the country, like Wang Zhongsheng, were lured by the huge benefits of "Ji Bao" and finally fell into the trap of scammers.
Some of these victims lost thousands of dollars, others tens of thousands. Their experiences are different, but they all have one thing in common: their desire to get rich has blinded them.
The awakening process of these victims is full of pain and self-blame, but it also makes them understand a profound truth: pie does not fall from the sky, and too much greed often makes people lose their minds.
Their experiences have become living teaching materials to warn others.
With Wang Zhongsheng's report, the police launched a comprehensive investigation. They soon discovered that there were many anomalies in the operation of the Apocalypse Pavilion Company. Despite employing a large number of employees, the company barely pays any taxes, which has caused a high level of police vigilance.
Further investigation of the bank flow revealed more suspicious findings by the police. In the capital transactions of Tianqi Pavilion, fixed amounts such as 288 yuan, 1499 yuan, and 2288 yuan frequently appeared, which was completely consistent with the prices of various membership cards they launched.
This discovery further confirmed the suspicions of the police.
Along the way, the police found another affiliated company called Youpaitang. After an in-depth investigation, they were surprised to find that Liao Xiaosheng, the owner of the Apocalypse Pavilion, had a close connection with Wu Wei, the owner of Youpaitang.
The police were shocked by the scope and skill of the two companies operating this huge fraud network.
After having enough evidence, the police quickly organized a large-scale operation to close the net. At the same time, they conducted a raid on Tianqi Pavilion and Youpaitang, and successfully arrested 52 criminal suspects, including Liao Xiaosheng, Xu Yufeng, and Wu Wei.
A large number of computers, mobile phones, voice changers and other tools were seized at the scene, completely dismantling this well-designed fraud gang.
The cracking of this "chicken treasure" fraud case has sounded the alarm for us. We must keep a clear head when faced with the temptation of high profits. Any unusually high price should be a cause for concern, especially if it seems like a quick opportunity to reap huge returns.
At the same time, we should also improve our own anti-fraud awareness. In the age of the Internet, fraud methods are changing with each passing day, and we need to continue to learn and improve our ability to identify them. When encountering suspicious situations, do not be shy to ask for verification, and consult and report to relatives, friends or relevant departments in a timely manner.
Only by thinking rationally and staying away from greed can we avoid falling for well-designed scams and protect our property. Let's work together to maintain an honest and safe social environment.
