How is there a connection between an early warning message, an hour-long call, and a missing female college student? Recently, in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, the local public security police raced against time to let the girl out of the trap.
Talk to the mysterious man for an hour The young woman is missing
At noon on April 26 this year, the police of the Anti-Fraud Center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau received an early warning message in the course of their work.
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: Our anti-fraud center early warning platform pushed a fraud warning push with a high risk level and a call duration of 3572 seconds (nearly an hour) impersonating the public prosecutor's law. When we got this information, we found that its call time was very long, and the risk level was a high-risk type, which attracted our attention.
Nearly an hour of call, the parties are likely to have fallen into the trap, the police immediately dialed the other party's phone.
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: When we called her the first time, she hung up, and calling again was blocking. I started the SMS bombing method and sent her dozens of prompt text messages, but they did not receive the desired effect, and experience told us that she should have been brainwashed by scammers.
Urgent search for the parties Unexpectedly, this link became a difficult point
More than an hour has passed since the time when the person received the scam call, has she fallen into the trap of the other party? In a hurry, the police decided to intervene in the door, and how to find the parties became an urgent problem for the police to solve.
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: Because we could not contact this party, then we contacted her mother, who was in a foreign country, but her mother thought that we were liars, hung up my phone, and then called her mother to block me.
The mother of the person concerned lived in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province, and the Shenyang police immediately contacted the local police, and under the coordination of the local police, the mother of the person revealed the identity of her child.
From the woman's mother, the Shenyang police learned that the person who was answering the fraudulent call was named XiaoJing, a 26-year-old who was currently studying at a university in Shenyang's Dadong District.
Sun Haizhou, deputy director of the Taochang Police Station of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: After we arrived at the school, we found that this student could not be contacted.
According to the students, at noon that day, Xiaojing was studying in the classroom, after receiving a mysterious phone call, she left the classroom alone, did not know where to go, and later blocked all the phones of teachers and classmates, and no one could contact Xiaojing.
Sun Haizhou, deputy director of the Taochang Police Station of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: At that time, we also held the psychology of trying it out, we wanted to add a WeChat to try, constantly indicating our identity, applying for WeChat plus can be added three or four times, this student passed.
The police reassure the parties concerned and use clever tricks to gain trust
From Xiao Jing receiving a scam call to applying for a friend through the weChat of the police, more than 2 hours have passed. At this time, Xiao Jing did not dare to believe the real police. Obviously, in this kind of impersonation of public prosecutors, the fake "policeman" on the phone will definitely instruct the person concerned not to trust others.
The police immediately appeased Xiaojing, the police speculated that the school is a more familiar environment for Xiaojing, teachers, classmates and people she is closer to trusting, in order to make Xiaojing believe in her identity, the police thought of a way.
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: In order to make her believe that we are real policemen, we took a group photo with the leaders of the hospital and our classmates, and the photos were sent to her, at this time she completely believed that she should have been deceived, we told her that we were waiting for you at school, you must not have any contact with the scammers, do not go to transfer, at this time she said, you are waiting for me at school, I will come back immediately.
At that time, Xiaojing was in the bank, according to the requirements of the other party, she had already applied for the first bank card, and was preparing to go to another bank and open another bank card. Through WeChat, Xiaojing promised the police that she would immediately take a taxi back to school. 15 minutes later, the police saw the terrified Xiao Jing at the school.
What happened to Xiao Jing's side, why did she disappear for nearly two hours?
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: At more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon, I received a call from a scammer, who claimed to be the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau, told her that she was involved in a money laundering fraud case of 2.18 million yuan, told her that you must listen to my words, after my guidance, I told you how to operate step by step.
Party Xiao Jing (pseudonym): 17 people owe 2.18 million yuan, he wants me to be responsible for all of them, wants me to go to jail, and then says that he will come to arrest me before 5 pm today, I am afraid of affecting you, I dare not say.
At first, Xiao Jing did not let down her guard and recorded the entire call.
In the nearly one-hour telephone recording provided by XiaoJing, the other party asked Xiaojing to clear the scene four times, or to go to a quiet, uninterrupted place to conduct a so-called investigation. And this is actually step by step, letting Xiao Jing fall into the trap according to their script.
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: He is afraid of being interrupted by others in the process of brainwashing, and if the fraud fails on this child, he will let you find a quiet place, there is no one next to him, isolated from the world, and do not answer the phone of anyone outside.
It may be that Xiao Jing was suspicious, and the other party claimed that the case had been filed in the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, and then the other party transferred the phone to the so-called "Beijing police".
On the other end of the phone, the police officer, who claimed to be from Beijing, gave Xiaojing a detailed account of her "crime."
Fraud suspect (telephone recording): The case of 0128 that you are now involved in is that we set up a special team of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau to investigate... Among them, there is a bank card with the tail number of ICBC 0857, which is indeed registered in your name.
You know, in our domestic criminal law, fraud and money laundering crimes, where the amount involved in the case exceeds 500,000 yuan or more, it can be sentenced to more than 10 years of imprisonment, do you understand the seriousness of this matter?
Party Xiao Jing (pseudonym): I haven't done this.
Xiao Jing hopes to explain to the other party that she is not involved in fraud, but the other party's attitude is extremely tough, which makes Xiao Jing difficult to argue.
Fake police send fake documents the parties involved gradually fall into a trap
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: Later, the scammer said, let's add QQ, I put your information involved in the case, my police officer card, and some counterfeit summonses containing the real personal information of this child, as well as the wanted order to send her over, because she saw these real personal identity information, the ideological defense line collapsed, and only then did I believe that the scammer was real (police).
The other side's police officer's card, the so-called "Beijing police" with Xiao Jing's real identity information issued a co-investigation notice, and one forged material after another gradually broke through Xiao Jing's psychological defense line.
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: (Xiao Jing) is anxious to prove his innocence to the fraudsters... The ultimate purpose of the scammer is to cheat the money into hand, it is bound to have a bank card, to be related to the bank account, the child has been deeply brainwashed at this time, she has lost her discernment, the scammer told her, you go to the bank card, then she may get a bank card.
During the whole process, the other party asked Xiaojing to apply for two bank cards from different banks, which was a key step in the follow-up fraud.
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: The basic routine of this scammer is that if you have money in your account, then I will tell you that your account is no longer safe, you have to transfer it to the secure account we designated, you transfer it, and the money becomes in the hands of the scammer.
Like in this case, the child itself may not have so much savings, the scammer will tell you, you are involved in this amount, you have to bear, you go to the bank to apply for a bank card... The scammer will go back and send you a link, let you take out a loan, and then let you pay the compensation, then what she is doing will have legal effect.
At this moment, Xiao Jing hid from the other party, clicked on WeChat, received a friend application from the police, and was saved from the edge of being deceived, otherwise, she is likely to completely fall into the trap of the other party, and even bear a huge loan.
The timely intervention of the police in Shenyang's Dadong District avoided the telecommunications fraud case. In fact, since its establishment in September last year, the Anti-Fraud Center of the Dadong Branch Bureau has received about 200 fraud warning messages every day, and a total of 34,203 people have been dissuaded by early warnings, among which college students are the key targets of criminal suspects.
Li Danning, political commissar of the criminal investigation and anti-narcotics brigade of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: First, the group of college students is not deeply involved in the world and has little social experience, just like making money part-time, or taking out loans to start a business.
The main types, brushing fraud, impersonating acquaintances parents and classmates fraud, as well as unsecured loan fraud, there is a kind of credit card that students do, (some) there will be bad credit, criminals will use this to eliminate bad credit for you to deceive college students.
Virtual dial-up devices are placed abroad to evade police tracking
The police dealt with it in a timely manner, and Xiao Jing's encounter was finally in danger. The police analyzed Xiaojing's call records and found that the suspect used a virtual dialing device, and the other party's dialing device was not even in China, so it could not be traced to its exact location. What kind of device is a virtual dial-up device?
Coincidentally, not long ago, also in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, the local police arrested a criminal gang that used this equipment for profit.
"GOIP" is a virtual dialing device, support access to a large number of mobile phone SIM cards, and can convert the traditional telephone signal into a network signal, but also remotely control the SIM card and GOIP device in a different place to make calls, send and receive text messages, to achieve the separation of people and SIM cards, to achieve the purpose of hiding identity and evading attacks.
Using GOIP devices to make scam calls is a common tactic used by fraud suspects today. In early May, the police of the Anti-Fraud Center of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau discovered in their work that someone had used GOIP equipment to provide technical support for the online fraud gang. After obtaining the clue, the Shenyang public security immediately organized the police force to carry out the investigation.
Qian Xiaoyu, police officer of the Anti-Fraud Center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: This mobile phone number involved a telecommunications fraud case in Inner Mongolia, and some of the victim's money was defrauded by dialing this mobile phone number.
After careful investigation, the police locked the criminal suspect Liu Mou as having a major crime.
Qian Xiaoyu, police officer of the Anti-Fraud Center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: After locking the identity of the criminal suspect, we conducted a process of tracking and mapping and found the criminal suspect. There should have been four suspects in our possession, and finally they squatted downstairs from their fixed residence, including arresting them separately, and then arrested all of them, and also searched the car for the GOIP cat device we suspected, and found hundreds of calling cards in his home.
After investigation, in early April 2021, the criminal suspect Sun Mou met a man online, who said that he could introduce him to a project that "makes money". Subsequently, the man instructed Sun to purchase a GOIP device and router, and taught Sun how to debug the device. At the same time, the man also promised Sun to pay him according to the price of 2800 yuan per hour per card port. Under the temptation of interests, Sun mou found Liu Mou and 3 other people, and by driving a vehicle equipped with GOIP equipment, he committed crimes in Shenyang and its surrounding cities, making a total of more than 80,000 yuan in illegal profits.
Warning: It is illegal to provide communication equipment lines to fraudulent gangs!
Up to now, the police have preliminarily identified 3 cases of telecommunications fraud involving other provinces and cities by retrieving equipment data.
The police remind that whether it is buying, selling, renting bank accounts, telephone cards, or helping fraud suspects to set up communication equipment and provide communication lines, they are all suspected of breaking the law and committing crimes, and should not embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes because of greed for small profits.
At present, the case is under further investigation. The police remind that in daily life, we must be more careful, receive suspicious calls, we must be vigilant, you can also verify with the nearest police for help, do not easily fall into the trap of fraudsters.
Lang Qun, head of the anti-fraud center of the Dadong Branch of the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau: If you are really involved in the case, the police will not tell you on the phone, if you are not involved in the case, you want to prove your innocence, you can go to the local police station, the local (public security) organ to report the case, instead of contacting the scammers on the Internet, some operations on the Internet.
The real police will not withdraw money from you, nor will they ask for your bank card number, and all those who involve money must be careful, verification codes, passwords, bank cards, the police will not care about you want these.
