"Should I get my frozen money back?" One day in August last year, the first sentence of a Chengdu aunt who walked into the police station did not want to lead to a series of transnational communication fraud cases.
The lady who lives in Wuhou District was cheated by a Taiwan Province-born "gold master" and set up a communication fraud den in India for nearly 9.6 million yuan at one time, which alarmed the Ministry of Public Security.
After more than half a year’s hard investigation and international police cooperation, the Chengdu police, with the strong support and guidance of the Ministry of Public Security and the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department, have arrested 51 suspects of den communication fraud, including 4 Taiwan Province nationals. This is the first time that Chengdu has destroyed transnational communication fraud gangs.
On the afternoon of the 25th, the Chengdu Public Security Bureau held a briefing on this, revealing in detail the "8? Many details of the 25 "mega-transnational communication fraud case.


Encountered a trap, Chengdu aunt was cheated for 9.6 million at a time.
On August 25 last year, Chengdu aunt Wang Dali (a pseudonym) walked into the police station of South Station in Wuhou District to report the case. When she saw the police, Wang Dali’s first sentence sounded strange: "Should you give me back the money you frozen?" The police inquired in detail and found that the aunt who came to report the case in front of her was likely to encounter communication fraud. The other party was pretending to be "frozen" by the public security personnel and actually transferred her money.
Wang Dali still doesn’t believe several times that she may be cheated. When she realized what had happened, the police almost swallowed a cold sweat when she revealed the situation again: Wang Dali said that all the 9.596 million yuan in her account was gone, and as early as August 17 to 19, she was transferred in batches according to the instructions of a "prosecutor" of the "highest inspection".
The police station immediately reported the case, and the intelligence department of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Chengdu Public Security Bureau quickly intervened. The single case was defrauded of 9.6 million, and the amount involved was huge, which is rare in China. Chengdu Municipal Bureau also reported the case to Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department and Ministry of Public Security, and received guidance and help from the two levels of public security departments.

Taiwan Province’s "golden master" India built a fraud den.
The investigators of the task force have done a lot of investigation work through technical means. I learned that Wang Dali was cheated by a transnational communication fraud den with clear division of labor. By inquiring about the phone call to Wang Dali, the den is not in China. What is the structure of this den and how to divide the work of fraud are not clear for the time being.
The task force first found a breakthrough point, and determined that a man from Santai County, Mianyang should be one of the suspects through the comparison between the abnormal personal account and the entry and exit records. Through this one person to sort out social relations, from one person to three people, I slowly found out the structure of this den from the periphery.

Make sure that it was set up and managed by Taiwan Province people, and it was located in a farmhouse in Gujarat. After the case was reported to the Ministry of Public Security, it became a "double-linked" case supervised by the Ministry of Public Security and the Supreme Procuratorate.

Sichuan Public Security’s First Cross-border Police Cooperation
Under the leadership and command of Sichuan Provincial Public Security Bureau, Chengdu Municipal Bureau reported to the Ministry of Public Security on its own initiative and proposed to go abroad to crack down on dens. The Ministry of Public Security strongly supported this, and connected with the Indian Embassy in China through the Bureau of International Police Cooperation. At the same time, the task force investigated and controlled various aspects of the den, such as capital exchanges and communication exchanges, and mastered more key information.
In January this year, under the leadership of the Ministry of Public Security, a joint working group composed of the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department, the Chengdu Public Security Bureau, the Intermediate People’s Court and the Procuratorate rushed to India. This was the first time that the Sichuan Public Security Department went abroad to carry out police work. After nine days in India, it laid the foundation for more targeted investigation, control and arrest after returning home.

Telephone fraud has a standard "script"
After technical control and basic investigation abroad, we found out the characteristics of this fraud den that defrauded Ms. Wang of Chengdu of 9.6 million yuan: the number of operators is about 30 to 50, except for a few "second-line" and "third-line" operators who are from Taiwan Province, all the "first-line" operators are from Chinese mainland, and most of them are from Sichuan.
At the top of the den is a Taiwan Province "gold master", who paid to set up the den. This gold master does not go to India, but only pays. It is his fellow countryman in Taiwan Province, nicknamed "Monkey Brother", who is responsible for recruiting personnel and overall management of the Indian den. Most of the recruited operators are "experienced personnel". Later, it was learned through trial that a considerable number of operators had also worked in transnational communication fraud dens in Malaysia, the Philippines and other countries.
Taiwan Province financial owners have hired special personnel to train telephone operators. The main mode is to pretend to be the "Taiwan Province Department" of fraud by the public security organs. What role should the first, second and third line operators play and what to say in which process? They have a standard "script book", and all fraud is carried out in strict accordance with this "script book" routine.

Detailed restoration of Chengdu aunt was cheated
In August last year, the first phone call pretending to be a credit card center of a bank in Wuhan was made to Wang Dali’s mobile phone from this rural house in India.
The first appearance is the "first-line" operator, which is the rough work of casting a net. He asked if he had a credit card from a bank in Wuhan. Most people will hang up, but Wang Dali answered and told them no. The "first line" said that we are a credit card center, and the system shows that we have used your name to do the card, and there are more than 10,000 yuan in arrears.
Then, the "first line" saw that she was nervous and asked her to report the case immediately. "We have a special line with the police. How about transferring it to you directly?" Aunt Wang immediately agreed to transfer to Wuhan "Jiang ‘an District Public Security Bureau".
The "second line" appeared, which is a much higher-tech link. His role is a policeman and he needs "skills" very much.
The "second line" tone was very serious and asked Wang what happened. Wang replied that his bank credit card was fraudulently used. At this time, the "second line" showed the majestic momentum of the police. According to the routine of "speaking the script", he said to Wang: Have you done it? You should tell the truth. You are not as simple as being falsely used now. We have a "Li Gang fraud case" here, and you are a suspect in the investigation.
At this time, another person with a clear division of labor immediately set out to make a "highest wanted notice" according to Wang Dali’s detailed personal information, and put it on their specially made fake webpage as soon as possible.
Aunt Wang is getting more and more afraid. "If you can’t prove yourself, we will take compulsory measures. You can either cooperate on the phone or our task force will come to your home in Chengdu to find you." Wang quickly promised to cooperate by phone.
The "second line" asked her how much money she had and what cards she had on it. "You have to tell the truth, if there is personal property hiding, we will freeze your funds." She told me how much money each of her cards had.
At this time, the "second line" seriously instructed her to transfer the money from each bank card to one card, realizing the step of putting the money together in a pile. And let her open an online bank and run a "K treasure". Tell her it’s troublesome and need to contact the "highest leaf inspection prosecutor".
The "third line" with the highest technical content appeared.
The "third line" asked her to go to the computer, gave her a website and told her that there was "big trouble" in the current situation. Wang Dali’s wanted order for this fake webpage specially made by them has been displayed impressively. She believed it after reading it, and at this time she has completely obeyed any instructions from the other party.
Let her log in to the online bank, and the "third line" does not say transfer money. There is the most crucial step. In other cases of fraud, if the victim is in a hotel room (being asked to avoid family and friends), they will be asked to cover the KBao display screen with a towel, because the small display screen will show that the money is being transferred, and various reasons will be found for the victim to cover it. For Aunt Wang, the "Third Line" asked her to cover the display screen with her hand, saying that it was "fingerprint verification", and then remotely controlled Wang’s computer through another computer-savvy accomplice, so that she kept pressing the operation on "KBao".
In such a final stage, Aunt Wang finally failed to hold on. Aunt Wang and her wife usually lived alone, their children were not around, and their wife was not at home at the time of the incident. In this way, in three days, more than 3 million were transferred in batches on the first day, more than 1 million on the second day and more than 5 million on the third day.

Sanya celebrates its annual meeting with one pot.
By the time Aunt Wang reported the case, her money had already been transferred away. After thorough investigation, the police found that this fraud gang headed by Taiwan Province people has a very strict division of labor, including the transfer of funds. The 9.6 million yuan cheated by Wang was quickly dispersed and transferred to five-level accounts, and some of them entered the third-party payment platform. The most difficult thing is that fraudulent funds are mixed into different accounts. If metaphorically speaking, it is like pouring a lot of buckets of water into a pool. There are fraudulent money and normal business money in it, which brings great difficulties to the investigation work.
Knowing that she was cheated, Aunt Wang almost collapsed and was saddened.
Through a lot of technical investigation, on February 15th during the Chinese New Year this year, a breakthrough clue was obtained: two important Taiwan Province suspects from the den entered Sanya! Under the command of the Ministry of Public Security and the Provincial Public Security Department, the task force rushed to Sanya to directly arrest.
In order to prevent spooking the snake, the police arrested him in plain clothes. After arriving at the scene, the police found that some suspects were out of the activity site, and the situation was much more complicated than expected. The police had to wait near the hotel. According to the on-site police, there were 11 men, women and children at the scene. After careful preparation, with the cooperation of Sanya police, 11 people were arrested in a hotel on February 16.
The surprise trial found that it was precisely because of defrauding many victims, including Aunt Wang, that the gang took advantage of the Chinese New Year to go to Sanya for a holiday and hold an annual celebration meeting. Among the arrested people, there were three Taiwan Province nationals, including the second-in-command of the den, namely "Monkey Brother", Jin Rui, who has been managing for a long time and has a position equivalent to the general manager, and a "second-line" operator. This is the first time that Taiwan Province nationals have been caught in communication fraud in Sichuan Province.

The operator’s commission is as high as 800 thousand yuan
According to the police, all the suspects recruited into the fraud dens have had many fraud experiences. After these people were recruited, a special person collected their documents and unified them to the travel agency that handled the visas for these people, which lasted for 90 days. After that, these people took the air tickets provided by the financier and transferred from Hong Kong to India. After the plane landed, these people were taken to the dens by Indian locals.
"According to our trial, the following operators don’t know where they are in India, only know that they are in India, and they can’t tell the specific location. After they arrived in India, they could only move in the prescribed places, and their phone cards and documents were taken away. " The police told reporters.
Through the first night’s trial, the Chengdu Public Security Bureau is ready to strike while the iron is hot and arrest the suspects in Sichuan Province. At that time, it coincided with the Chinese New Year holiday, and almost all the suspects went home for the Spring Festival. The Chengdu Public Security Bureau arrested 15 people in one fell swoop.
According to the suspect, in 8? In the case of communication fraud, just being in charge of the third-line work-playing the suspect of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate prosecutor, in this single case, he got a commission of more than 800,000 yuan. The other two "first-line" and "second-line" also received hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Xiong Jian, the squadron leader of the Criminal Police Brigade of Wuhou District Public Security Bureau, one of the members of the task force, revealed that so far, "8? 25 "mega-transnational communication fraud case series and cracked 136 cases in the whole province, including 107 cases in Chengdu, and many cases from other provinces, involving more than 30 million yuan. At present, 51 suspects have been arrested, including 4 suspects from Taiwan Province and 47 suspects from mainland China. Of the 51 suspects detained, 39 have been arrested, 8 have been released on bail and 4 have been prosecuted. The case is still under further investigation.
