Uncovering the Cheap Tour Scam in Shanghai: Role-playing cheat people defrauded more than 2,000 people in less than a month.

CCTV News: Shanghai police reported yesterday (65438+February 8) that a group fraud case was detected in the name of "one-day trip to Shanghai". The Oriental Pearl, the Bund and other popular attractions are the must-see places for tourists to visit Shanghai, and many tourists choose to join a one-day tour group for sightseeing.

Fraud gangs claim that they can play more than a dozen scenic spots for one or two hundred yuan, and they can also hire a car to pick them up. Once someone takes the bait, their routine is nothing new, that is, fooling tourists into shopping, and there are various role-playing such as pretending to be "rich second generation" in the process.

After the tourists signed up for the "one-day tour" in 200 yuan, they arrived at the assembly point early in the morning, and the tour guide began to introduce the one-day tour before boarding the bus.

Guide: "After climbing the mountain, visit two duty-free shops, and then take a boat tour of Huangpu River. After taking the boat, the Bund, Nanjing Road and the City God Temple are all included. Except for lunch, the whole trip is included. "

After a short visit to a scenic spot, the unlicensed tour guide took the tourists to a jade shop in Pudong New Area under the guise of voluntary trading. When the staff in the store were introducing jade-related knowledge to more than 30 tourists, a fashionable woman came to the scene and claimed to sponsor the tour group. Tourists need to stay in the jade shop for a while. Later, the woman began to boast that she was rich and had industries in Yunnan, Macao and other places, saying that she was destined to meet today and promised that it would be of great benefit.

After the tour guide took some gullible tourists away from the scene, the "clerk" and "sales manager" of the jade shop and the "trustee" posing as tourists responded enthusiastically, setting off the woman's false identity. Fraudulent gangs create an atmosphere of making friends with the woman through a series of verbal traps. Fake tourists pretend to make friends with the woman and transfer money to the woman as the cost of making friends and inviting her to dinner.

Fraud suspect: "treat me as a lifelong friend, just as you spent so much money today to invite me to have a big meal in Maotai." There is another result. Maybe Xiaoyu is very happy today. I will take away the same valuable treasure in my jewelry counter at will, no matter it is worth 30,000, 60,000 or 90,000, but you promise me that you can't sell it if someone gives you 30,000, 60,000 or 90,000. This is our lifelong friendship. "

Tourists see that as long as they make friends with this woman named "Xiaoyu" and transfer some money to invite her to dinner, they can get jade worth ten times or more in return. Subsequently, the tour guide quickly took the tourists away from the shopping store on the pretext of catching up with the next scenic spot, and sent a car full of tourists to the Huangpu River to take a so-called cruise ship to visit the Pujiang River. However, in fact, the tour guide gave everyone a boat ticket worth 2 yuan to let the tourists board the boat by themselves, but the tour guide left the scene, ending the so-called "one-day trip to Shanghai".

Old tourist: "To tell you the truth, I was born in Shanghai. I went to other places to participate in national key construction. I came back this time to revisit my old place. The result was cheated by Shanghainese. "

Some tourists found that they might encounter fraud and initiated complaints to relevant departments. Through tourists' complaints, the Waigaoqiao Public Security Department of Pudong Branch of Shanghai Public Security Bureau investigated the jade shop suspected of fraud within its jurisdiction and arrested 9 1 person.

Police investigations revealed that this jade shop was hidden on the third floor of a building. Criminals mislead tourists to "take the initiative" to pay for dinner with fictional facts. Fraud gangs have a clear division of labor, which makes tourists fall into the trap unconsciously.

The deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Waigaoqiao Public Security Bureau of Pudong Branch of Shanghai Public Security Bureau introduced to Tianyang that the lecturer played the rich second generation in the whole fraud process, pretending that he had an identity and background, and defrauded the victim of money with a fictional identity. The customer is also a sales manager. The tour guide is responsible for a series of work involving jade and attracting tourists and victims outside. After the victim paid the money, he covered up the fraud by giving jade. Fraud gangs will give away some jade with a price of tens of thousands of yuan. The general purchase cost of this kind of jade ranges from 10 yuan to 60 yuan.

It is through this means that the fraud gang defrauded more than 2,000 people in less than a month from September of 10 to September 8 of 10, and the amount involved was more than RMB 10. After nearly two months' investigation, in the early morning of March 1,1,the police arrested in Shanghai, Gansu, Shandong, Hainan and other places simultaneously, and 9 1 people such as Dai Mouliang were criminally detained according to law on suspicion of fraud, of which 6 1 people were arrested with the approval of Pudong Procuratorate, and the police smashed the tourist jewelry and jade business outlets suspected of fraud.

Not only Shanghai, but also many tourist cities. These deceptive low-cost tours all have a common feature, that is, they seem to be "pies", but they are actually traps. So remind everyone to be wary of low-cost travel.
