The scammers called several times
The crooks sent fake police badges
The police communicated with Sun Yan's WeChat
The police send anti-fraud reminder text messages
"Who the hell are you real cops?" How all of them threaten me!" Sun Yan (pseudonym) suppressed tears and said helplessly. Sun Yan is a graduate student at a university in Shenyang, who usually studies hard, has a simple and simple personality, and is the bully in everyone's mouth. Recently, a strange call broke the calm of her life. For nearly an hour, the number showed that phone calls from many parts of the country were "bombed" in turn, some saying that she was "wanted", some asking her to prove her innocence, and some saying "don't believe them, believe me"... Fortunately, the police of the Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau thundered out, unveiled the entire scam, and cut off the "black hand" of money fraud.
On October 18, the reporter found the party Sun Yan through the police and recalled the inside story of the typical "impersonation of the public prosecutor's office" fraud.
Design false charges
"Suspected of money laundering crimes! Am I wanted?"
"You help others launder money with bank cards, at least 10 years!" Recently, a phone call from a self-proclaimed "police officer from the Shenyang City Public Security Bureau in Liaoning Province" made Sun Yan, who was preparing for a lunch break, jump out of bed in shock.
"You are suspected of a $2.18 million money laundering case. What is your relationship with the suspect? Why did he use a bank card in your name? Honestly!"" The police handling the case," he said sharply. What the? Suspected of money laundering offences? You can also be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison! In an instant, Sun Yan felt that the sky was spinning, and the whole person was ignorant. Then came the questioning voice on the other end of the phone: "The case has been filed in the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, and you are now required to cooperate with the investigation." Now I'll help you transfer the phone to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. After the man finished speaking, he warned Sun Yan that he must cooperate with the "Beijing police", otherwise things would be complicated.
One moment it was the Beijing public security that filed a case, and the next moment it was the Liaoning police who wanted to arrest people. Sun Yan was wrapped around in the clouds for a while.
Create tension
"This is a 'confidential project' and you can't reveal information to anyone!"
Just when Sun Yan was at a loss, the "Beijing police" turned sharply: "Now no one can help you, only you can help yourself, please cooperate with me to carry out the investigation and strive to return your innocence as soon as possible." "Is there room for maneuver in this matter?" Hearing that she still had a chance, Sun Yan fully cooperated with the "Beijing police" as if she had seized the life-saving straw.
"Now you have to use QQ to make a single-line contact with me, I will send you something, do not tell the family and friends around you, etc., set the mobile phone to do not disturb mode, refuse to answer all calls, text messages." The "police" told Sun Yan sternly.
After adding QQ, the "police" sent Sun Yan pictures such as "police officer card", "wanted order" and "court summons". The "wanted notice" issued by the "police" really has a photo of Sun Yan on it, and the identity information is also readily available...
"What should I do? I don't want to be caught, I'm wronged!" Sun Yan longed for the "police handling the case" to show her a clear path.
The "police" racked their brains to coax Sun Yan: "This is a 'confidential project', you can't disclose the news to anyone, otherwise it will affect your family and friends." "In order to facilitate the investigation of the case, and even more so as not to involve your family and friends, I ask you to block everyone and only contact me one-way." On the other end of the phone, the "police" said "justice awe-inspiring." Sun Yan obediently obeyed the instructions of the "people's police" and operated step by step...
Repeated dissuasion work
The police have a "gap" battle with the scammers
Sun Yan silently left the dormitory and came to the back garden of the school alone. There was no one around her, only the voice on her phone, which was "guiding" her on how to "clear her suspicions" next. "I want to apply for a new bank card." According to the "guidance" of the police, Sun Yan came to the bank near the school to prepare for related business.
"High-risk phone! Impersonation of public prosecutor's law fraud!" At this time, the anti-telecom network fraud center platform of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau captured the suspected fraud communication information through technical means, and the police lang qun quickly called Sun Yan. "I'm sorry, the phone you made can't be connected for a while..." Lang Qun made dozens of calls, except for the first time, which was a busy tone, and the rest were unconnectable after being blocked." Enable SMS Bombing! Maybe she'll look at the text message between calls. Thinking that this college student may be being "brainwashed", Lang Qun sent more than 20 prompt text messages to the other party's mobile phone, but there was still no news. "Immediately contact the owner's relatives in the field, and resolutely not let the scammer succeed!" Sheng Wei, deputy director of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau, quickly commanded the police force to carry out dissuasion work.
"Hello, I am the Liaoning public security, and your daughter is suffering from fraud..." According to Sun Yan's information, Li Danning, political commissar of the criminal investigation and anti-narcotics brigade of the Dadong Branch Bureau, quickly dialed the phone of Sun Yan's mother who was in a different place. I don't believe it! Li Danning was just halfway through his speech when a busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Her parents then reported the case to police in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, where they were located.
"Sun Yan's parents had a strong sense of anti-fraud, and at first they regarded us as liars, and even reported the case to the local police." Li Danning cried and laughed. But fortunately, this "oolong" has ushered in a turnaround in the whole case.
Scammers take turns to carry out "brainwashing"
Make it impossible for the parties to distinguish between real and fake police
Under the explanation of the Shandong police, Sun Yan's mother expressed her willingness to cooperate with the liaison. After receiving some information provided by Sun Yan's parents, the Dadong Branch immediately contacted the local police station to activate the second-level early warning.
"Confirm that the parties are suffering from telecommunications fraud" The police of the Anti-Telecommunications Network Fraud Center resolutely made a judgment and instructed the local police station to quickly dispatch the police.
The police of the local police station of the school where Sun Yan studied received the order and rushed to the school. After coming to school, he couldn't find Sun Yan. "I thought I could find her at school, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late." The police learned through school leaders, counselors and classmates that Sun Yan received a phone call at noon and was in a state of disappearance after leaving the dormitory. While asking classmates and teachers about Sun Yan's news, the police constantly tried to add her WeChat.
"WeChat has finally passed!" This is the only chance for the police to stop Sun Yan from being deceived. What the police did not expect was that after WeChat passed, the first sentence Sun Yan said was: "Who are you real policemen?" How all of them threaten me! Who should I believe?" said Sun Yan, who had just finished her first card at the bank, holding her phone in a cold sweat.
There is little common sense of anti-fraud and insufficient social experience
College students have become a "trap" group under the e-mail fraudsters
"Go back to school, it's going to be fine, I'll help you!" The police comforted the panicked Sun Yan in a serious tone, and in order to gain trust, the police sent her photos of the scene.
The truth and sense of security are transmitted to the mobile phone through a group photo with the principal, counselor and classmates, and Sun Yan finally believes that she has encountered a wire fraud bureau.
"Hang up the scammer's phone and come back to school, we're all waiting for you." After 15 minutes, Sun Yan returned to school. "I didn't commit a crime!" The moment she stepped into the school, uneasiness was intertwined with the joy of the rest of her life, Sun Yan cried silently, and she dialed her mother's phone for the first time: "Now, I am sure that I am safe!"
In 4 hours, the police of the two places were linked, and dozens of people worked together, and a typical telecommunications fraud of "pretending to be a public prosecutor's office" was successfully curbed.
"Now there are many tricks in telecommunications fraud, and everyone without anti-fraud knowledge and experience is easy to fall into the trap." Sun Yan believes that college students lack social experience and lack of understanding of telecommunications fraud methods to become a group that is easy for scammers to succeed.
On October 18, she and her classmates contacted the police at the Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Center of the Dadong Branch Bureau and expressed their willingness to become propagandists in the "Anti-Fraud People's War".
