According to BlockBeats news, on April 25, the Web3 Radar public account reported that Mr. Zhang (pseudonym), a resident in the jurisdiction of the Economic Development Branch, discovered during his mobile phone browsing that a link claimed to provide special services for free after downloading this APP. Curious, Mr. Zhang downloaded the APP.
Immediately, the platform stated that to obtain special services, one must complete recharge tasks through this software. After recharging a certain amount, not only would the full amount be returned, but beautiful women would also provide local services. Attracted by the photos of 'beautiful women' on the platform, Mr. Zhang became even more tempted and subsequently recharged over 300,000 yuan to the platform. However, after the last task was completed, the platform suddenly crashed and stopped operating. After several unsuccessful attempts, Mr. Zhang finally realized he had been scammed and immediately reported it to the Economic Development Branch.
After receiving the report, the Economic Development Branch attached great importance to it, reacted quickly, immediately established a special task force, and swiftly conducted case investigation work, launching a comprehensive investigation into the existing clues. By sorting out the flow of funds involved in the case, the police found that the money Mr. Zhang was scammed out of flowed into the bank card of Zhao (pseudonym).
After obtaining the clue, the Criminal Investigation Team police immediately rushed to Fujian Province to carry out the capture operation. After several days of surveillance, the police successfully arrested Zhao. Through a surprise in-depth interrogation, Zhao revealed the organizational structure of his superior. It turned out that Zhao's superior was three 'drivers': Zhang, Fan, and Wang. Zhang was responsible for organizing and leading, Fan was in charge of contacting first-level cardholders like Zhao, and Wang was responsible for preventing first-level cardholders like Zhao from escaping during cash withdrawals.
According to Zhao's confession, he sold bank cards to the gang for profit. That day, after Zhao, accompanied by Fan and the other two, withdrew all the money that Mr. Zhang was scammed out of, he only kept a small part according to the rules, while the rest was taken by Fan and the others. Meanwhile, the police discovered that to legitimize the money obtained from the scam, Fan found 'U Merchant' Xia and laundered money online in the form of buying and selling U-coins.
As the case gradually became clearer, the police launched a deeper investigation into Fan and two others. After several days of work, the police discovered that the gang was very cunning and frequently changed residences to conduct fraudulent activities to evade police crackdowns.
"The suspects had a very strong counter-investigation awareness, engaging in illegal activities during the day at their residences, but frequently going out at night, with locations always varying. This posed a great challenge for our arrests," said the investigating officer. Based on preliminary analysis and judgment, the police gradually figured out the gang's modus operandi and ultimately arrested Fan and the other three in one fell swoop.
During the interrogation of Fan and the other three, they truthfully explained the money laundering process with 'U Merchant' Xia. After obtaining clues, the police quickly took action and arrested Xia in Ningde City, Fujian Province. Thus, this fraud case finally came to a conclusion.
