Xiao Zhang has been very upset lately
Whether it's at work or at rest
He would always receive harassing phone calls and texts
I can't bear it
Zhang chose to call the police
After investigation, the public security organs arrested the criminal suspect Li. According to Li's confession, he registered an account through an illegal Internet platform, and used the platform account to continuously make harassing phone calls and send spam text messages to others for a certain period of time, and then contacted the harassed person to ask for money on the grounds of stopping the harassment.
Within three months, Li made harassing phone calls and sent spam text messages to 5 people many times, seriously affecting the victim's normal work and life, and Li informed the victim that he could stop the harassment by paying fees to the bank card and Alipay account provided by him, and Li illegally made a profit of 3,300 yuan for personal consumption in this way.
It is understood that this kind of illegal software mainly uses phone calls and text messages to achieve the harassment effect of the target mobile phone number, and this kind of "service" generally cannot be intercepted through the communication business hall, and the victim can only cut off its harassment by changing the mobile phone number.
The Jinghai People's Court held at trial that the defendant Li had repeatedly extorted money from others by threatening others with telecommunications harassment, and the amount was relatively large, and his behavior had constituted the crime of extortion. Based on the circumstances of the case, the defendant Li was found guilty of extortion and sentenced to 10 months imprisonment and a fine of 6,000 yuan.
In daily life, we should pay attention to protecting personal privacy, do not easily disclose personal communication methods such as phone numbers, and report to the police in time to protect our rights and interests if the above cases occur, and do not transfer money to bring economic losses to ourselves.
