The group of leaders of the "cloning" company also discussed their work and defrauded the financial department to remit 780,000 yuan?

Two months ago, a financial employee in Daye was defrauded of 780,000 yuan of public funds by a cloned "leadership group". On the day of the report, the Daye police organized a special team to carry out the investigation. The special police team spanned three regions of Sichuan, Hunan and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, as well as six prefecture-level cities of Ziyang, Yongzhou, Nanning, Laibin, Yulin and Chongzuo. After traveling more than 5,000 kilometers, a fraud gang of six people was finally captured in Guangxi.

Female accountant joins "leadership group"

She was defrauded of 780,000 yuan of public funds through kindness and power

The 44-year-old woman Liu is from a company in Daye City, Hubei Province a financial officer. At around 12:00 noon on November 22, 2016, Liu received a message on QQ from Xiao Ke, a female colleague in the same department, asking her to join a QQ group named "High-level executives of a company in Daye", with the attachment The previous screenshot has the group number.

After she joined the group, she saw that the company’s chairman, general manager, two deputy general managers and colleague Xiao Ke were all in the group. Deputy General Manager Feng asked General Manager Zheng in the group why he didn't answer the phone? Zheng said that he was in a meeting and it was not convenient to answer the phone. If he had anything to do, he would leave a message.

Later, Manager Feng arranged work for Liu in the group, saying that the deposit of 780,000 yuan from a Jiangsu customer Gao we talked about in the morning had not been paid yet, so he asked Liu to call and ask about the matter. And sent her a string of phone numbers. At this time, the chairman also spoke in the group, asking Manager Feng to send him a copy of the contract negotiated with the customer.

Liu contacted Gao, and the other party said he would send the money over in ten minutes. The chairman and Manager Feng discussed the details of the contract in the group, saying that it was detrimental to the company's interests and needed to be renegotiated. At this time, Manager Feng said that the client had transferred a deposit of 780,000 yuan to his personal account, and asked Liu to return the deposit from the company's public account first, and he would make up the money later. After that, he sent her a screenshot of the transfer receipt and Gao’s detailed account information.

The leader spoke directly. Liu didn’t think much. As soon as he got to work at 2:30 pm, he remitted 780,000 yuan to Gao’s account through online banking transfer.

However, less than an hour after the money was transferred, at about 3:20 pm that day, Mr. Zheng asked Liu in the group to remit another loan of 500,000 yuan to Gao and pay back the money. Liu was asked to do it immediately so as not to affect the contract negotiations the next day. Liu called the chairman to ask about the reason for the loan of 500,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, the chairman not only had no knowledge of the matter, but also denied the QQ group and chat content that Liu said.

Liu was shocked to realize that he had been deceived. After carefully checking the information of the people in the group, he was shocked to find that except for himself and his colleague Xiao Ke, the information was accurate. The other four leaders' QQ only had avatars and names. Likewise, the QQ number is not the leader himself!

Liu quickly asked his colleague Xiao Ke about the situation. Xiao Ke said that he was notified to join the group after receiving an email from someone claiming to be the company manager, and followed the instructions of the "leader" Call Liu to join the group. Liu immediately called the police.

Dongfeng Road Police Station received the alarm, conducted a detailed investigation and understanding of the case, and reported it to the superior. Lin Haifeng, member of the Standing Committee of the Daye Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Public Security Bureau, attached great importance to the case and ordered Zhang Zhiqiang, the deputy director in charge of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, to mobilize the elite criminal investigation police force and join forces with the Dongfeng Road Police Station and the Baoan Police Station to set up a special team on the same day to launch the investigation.

The special police force was divided into two groups to trace the flow of 780,000 yuan of public funds and the cloned QQ group faked by the scammer and related network activities.

After painstaking investigation, the police were surprised to find that the remittance of 780,000 yuan had gone through a complex five-level transfer in a very short period of time. The policeman handling the case said: "It's like throwing a drop of water into the sea, and it immediately mixes with other currents. The water flows in and out quickly, and it is difficult to tell where the drop of water is going."

Facing cunning scammers, tracing funds The police officers working around the clock not only worked day and night, but also across Sichuan, Hunan and Guangxi provinces and one district, combing, analyzing and comparing thousands of accounts, determined to find out this "drop of water" with the blood and sweat of the people.

In early January 2017, special police officers successfully identified three suspects in Guangxi through tracing, namely 30-year-old Xie from Binyang County, Nanning City, 20-year-old Ruan from Yigu Village, Chongzuo City, and Mo Mou, 30, from Luchuan County, Yulin City.

On January 5, Chen Xiaoming, leader of the task force and captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Daye City Public Security Bureau, arranged for Shi Caisheng, director of the Criminal Investigation Technology Office, and others to go to Guangxi to conduct a thorough investigation.

With the assistance of Guangxi police, new clues were found in the investigation of the case. Xie has been driving a brown Chevrolet sedan whose registered owner is his sister for a long time, and during the time of the crime, Xie drove between Yulin and Chongzuo many times.

On January 9, the police discovered through tracking checkpoint monitoring that Xie drove out of Binyang County the day before and entered Laibin City, and never left the city again. Shi Caisheng and his colleagues rushed to Laibin City overnight. After checking a large number of street surveillance videos all night long, they finally found in one of the blurry video images that the suspect vehicle parked on the roadside of the city's No. 2 Middle School at about 11 o'clock that night. , and never left the area again.

On the morning of January 10, Shi Caisheng urgently reported the situation to Chen Xiaoming, the leader of the task force. Chen Xiaoming led a team that day and drove more than 2,000 kilometers to reinforce and prepare for the arrest.

On that day, Shi Caisheng and his colleagues, as the "vanguard detachment", secretly went to the middle school and started arduous work. They rented a car locally and took turns guarding the building 24 hours a day near the building where the suspect finally entered.

Like a scene from a spy movie, they were hiding in a car that was almost deprived of oxygen like invisible men. No matter how humid and cold the weather was, they did not dare to move.

Soon, police reinforcements led by Chen Xiaoming arrived in Laibin City.

On the afternoon of January 12, the police who were secretly on guard discovered that Xie came out of the building with three young men and started the Chevrolet sedan. After driving more than ten meters away, a man got out of the passenger cab and found that the tire was punctured and returned to the car to report, but Xie still forced the car to drive away.

They were completely unaware that they had been targeted by the Daye police and were quietly followed along the way.

Xie drove his Chevrolet sedan to the entrance of an auto repair shop and stopped to repair the tire. Chen Xiaoming led the plainclothes policemen pretending to be passers-by and captured the four suspects at lightning speed.

The four people were temporarily detained in the Laibin City Detention Center. Daye plainclothes police went to Chongzuo City and Yulin City in two groups, and arrested Ruan and Mo respectively.

After further interrogation and investigation, a criminal gang that committed fraud was exposed with factual evidence.

The gang is centered on Xie and has 6 members. Among them, Xie is the main operator who committed the fraud, and Ruan is Xie's brother-in-law. He is mainly responsible for buying computers, mobile phones, bank cards, providing houses, moving the Internet, etc., and providing the gang with tools for committing crimes. Mo is Xie's classmate and is mainly responsible for finding fraud targets, opening fake accounts online, and helping to commit fraud. The other three people were 27-year-old Xiao Xie, 24-year-old Chen and Lan. They were villagers from Xie's same village. After learning about Xie's fraud "career", they actually thought it was "cool" and took the initiative to acknowledge him. A certain person was a "master" and followed Xie to know and break the law.

According to Mo’s account, he searched for industrial companies in various places through the Internet. After learning about the company and its senior leaders, he sent an online email to an ordinary employee of the company as one of the leaders. , the content of the email is mostly asking the employee to compile a detailed list of company personnel information and send it to himself. Once the other party believes it, they successfully steal the other party's company's personnel information table, thereby further selecting property personnel as targets for fraud. By "cloning" the QQ of the company's senior leaders, a cloned "leadership group" was formed, and then the fraud targets were brought into the group.

If it were just like this, it would not be easy for people to be deceived. In the case, Liu who was deceived usually worked rigorously and carefully. However, the scammers have "upgraded" their deception, arranging cloned "managers", "chairmen" and other leaders to chat and discuss work in the cloned "leadership group", simulating real scenarios through fake "customers", laying the foundation for the final success. Luring the victim into a subtle trap.

In order to avoid investigation by the public security organs, the gang commits crimes without a fixed location. After successfully obtaining a "huge sum" of money through fraud, they will smash all computers, mobile phones and other tools. The mobile phones they use are old-fashioned Nokia non-smart phones. Most of the money obtained through fraud will be distributed to the trader Xie, but Xie will distribute the money to his associates in the gang "depending on his mood". On November 22 last year, Xie, who received more than 450,000 yuan in the defrauded money, only gave 1,000 yuan to Ruan and an old computer to Mo.

From the evening of January 8th to the 12th this year, when the gang was captured, Xie took three apprentices, each with a computer, in a room on the 6th floor of a residential building near Laibin City No. 2 Middle School. Short-term rental of private houses successfully defrauded a company in Yunnan Province of 10,000 yuan of public funds. Originally, the four members of Xie's group would continue to commit fraud, but January 13th was Xie's wife's birthday. In order to rush back to celebrate his wife's birthday, Xie stopped temporarily and planned to come back after celebrating her birthday to continue the fraud. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Daye police.

Currently, six suspects from the gang are criminally detained by Daye police in accordance with the law. The case is still under further investigation.

The police would like to remind the general public not to be gullible and to be vigilant about transactions or remittances involving their own, other people's or company's money, and to check in person or with someone who is absolutely aware of the matter. Confirm and operate strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations of the unit or company to prevent being deceived.
