BEIJING, April 28 (Xinhua) According to the news from the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau, in order to severely crack down on the criminal activities of fraud by means of mobile phones, fixed telephones and IP telephones, at the beginning of this year, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau decided to launch a special campaign to crack down on telephone fraud.
During the operation, the Guangdong police took "special case attack" as the leading factor, "propaganda and prevention" as the basis, and "coordinating all departments to make concerted efforts to control crimes from the source" as the working direction, and took various measures simultaneously to detect a large number of telephone fraud cases, and achieved phased results.
Up to now, 46 criminal gangs of telephone fraud have been destroyed in Guangdong province, 468 cases have been cracked, 323 suspects have been arrested, 289 people have been detained, 127 people have been arrested, 18 people have been transferred for prosecution, 53 computers, 678 mobile phones, 735 SIM cards, 2,836 bank cards, 2,457,800 yuan in cash and 9,409,000 yuan in bank deposits have been frozen. Assisted foreign countries in arresting 122 suspects and solving 130 cases, which severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of telephone fraudsters.
Judging from the cases of telephone fraud accepted and detected by public security organs, at present, telephone fraud in Guangdong Province mainly takes the following forms:
1. SMS fraud. Criminals use mass senders to send short messages to mobile phone users in a certain number segment, and fabricate false information such as winning the lottery, winning the Mark Six lottery, and car tax rebate to commit fraud.
2. Call directly to fabricate an accident to confuse the victim for fraud. Criminals call the victim to pretend to be his friend or let the victim guess who he is. After winning the trust of the victim, they ask the victim to send money to commit fraud on the grounds that they have been punished for illegal crimes or traffic accidents in other places.
3, using the network virtual phone fraud. Criminals use Internet IP telephone, especially the technology of "rebranding software" to display incoming calls as telephone numbers of financial, telecommunications, political and legal departments or party and government leaders, relatives and friends of the victim, and after defrauding the trust of the victim, they trick the victim into transferring deposits into so-called "safe" accounts for fraud on the grounds that the victim’s telephone is in arrears, his identity data has been stolen, and his bank account is suspected of committing crimes, or pretend to be party and government leaders, relatives and friends of the victim, and take ""
Among them, the crime of using "rebranding software" technology to impersonate the staff of financial, telecommunications, political and legal departments or party and government leaders to defraud is more prominent at present and has become the main form of telephone fraud at present. For example, on February 19th, a woman victim in Foshan, our province was defrauded of 840,000 yuan by criminals using the telephone number of the provincial political and legal organs by using the rebranding software, and a woman victim in Dongguan was defrauded of 340,000 yuan by criminals using the telephone number of a town leader. This kind of fraud has the following obvious characteristics: First, the victims are middle-aged and elderly people, especially middle-aged and elderly women. Most of these groups retire and live at home, have a certain economic foundation, don’t understand the criminals’ modus operandi and characteristics, and their children are not around during the day. Criminals use the time period of 9: 00 to 5: 00 to make phone calls, and the victims are easily deceived. Second, criminals always keep talking with the victims in the process of fraud, and make all kinds of language threats to deceive them, so that the victims are at a loss until they are deceived. Third, the amount of people cheated is huge. The one-time loss of the masses ranges from tens of thousands of yuan to hundreds of thousands or even more than one million yuan.
According to reports, telephone fraud crimes still occur from time to time in Guangdong Province. In view of this situation, the Provincial Public Security Department decided to take the province’s crackdown on telephone fraud crimes as a long-term task, and organized the province’s public security organs to further strengthen various crackdown and rectification work and severely crack down on criminals.
The Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department hopes that the masses will find clues about illegal crimes such as telephone fraud, report the case to the public security organs in time, assist them in cracking down and investigating, and effectively curb such crimes.
