When the "idle fish" transaction is transferred to offline...

Justice Network Shanghai, November 1 (correspondent Wang Xiaoyang) As we all know, idle APP is a trading platform for idle transfer between individuals, often going to "idle fish" to turn around, but also a good way to change "idle" to "present" and shop to pick up leaks. However, when you go shopping for "offers", if the seller asks the transaction to leave the platform and move offline, it may become another story... Recently, the Shanghai Hongkou District Procuratorate handled a case of "selling discounted fuel cards" under the guise of "selling discounted fuel cards", which was actually a case of defrauding money.

In September 2020, Mr. Bai saw a seller selling discounted fuel cards on an idle APP, so he went to inquire about the market, but he did not expect the seller to ask for a WeChat private chat. After adding WeChat, the seller first said that "900 yuan can buy 1000 yuan denomination", after Mr. Bai paid 900 yuan, and then temporarily out of stock with a small card, asking him to replace the large card, Mr. Bai has transferred a total of 6600 yuan for the purchase of the card. But a month after the money was transferred, the fuel card was still not shipped, and since then, Mr. Bai has embarked on a long road of anxiously urging goods and refunds...

From various reasons to push off the goods to ask for patience, so urging the delivery of several months without results, the time has reached 2021, Mr. Bai finally added a Self-proclaimed "Fuel Card After-sales" WeChat and asked the other party to refund, the other party asked Mr. Bai for various reasons to continue to wait for the refund to arrive, from February to April, after May Day... In the end, Mr. Bai could no longer contact the seller and had to go to the police station to report the case.

The police quickly arrested the seller Jin Mou along the account transaction information, and Jin Mou admitted that he did not actually have a fuel card to sell after arriving at the case, and the so-called "seller" and "after-sales" were played by him alone. After investigation, since July 2020, Jin began to defraud many people of the purchase cost of "fuel cards" in the same way, and defrauded a total of more than 20,000 yuan from the case, and the money defrauded was used by him to pay gambling debts and daily expenses.

The procuratorial organs believe that Jin used the method of fabricating facts and concealing the truth to defraud others of property for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount was relatively large, and his behavior had violated article 266 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, and he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of fraud. After trial, the court sentenced Jin to one year and two months imprisonment for fraud and a fine of 5,000 yuan.
