When a man was browsing a live broadcast platform in Qingdao, he discovered a fresh, refined and beautiful dancing internet celebrity. After joining the fan group, he added the internet celebrity's WeChat account and subsequently met nine of her friends.
However, he did not expect that the other party and nine friends would continue to borrow money from him for various reasons. What's worse is that these ten people are all played by a group of people taking turns. Recently, the Licang Branch of the Qingdao Municipal Public Security Bureau successfully captured an online fraud suspect through investigation and analysis, and recovered more than 460 million yuan in stolen money.
There was a man who liked to dance and got acquainted with a dance internet celebrity. Under his pursuit, the internet celebrity eventually became his girlfriend. However, as time went by, the man began to frequently borrow money from Internet celebrities, but his girlfriend ignored him.
In early April, Mr. Zhang, a Qingdao citizen, came to the Hushan Road Police Station to call the police, saying that he might have encountered a fraud gang. After detailed questioning, the police learned that Mr. Zhang usually likes to watch live broadcasts. Last year, he followed an Internet celebrity with millions of fans and joined the Internet celebrity's fan group. In the chat, the fan group leader claimed to be Li. He was studying at university in Beijing. Because he had artistic expertise, he registered a video account and often posted videos of himself dancing on the platform. Mr. Zhang gradually developed a crush on the girl in the video who looked pretty and was interested in developing a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her. As a result, he interacted frequently in the fan group and eventually added WeChat friends. However, as time passed, Mr. Zhang discovered that Li did not seem to be what he had imagined at first. He began to receive some strange messages, such as: "If you want to continue to be with her, you have to pay some price.", "I have helped you a lot, but now you have not taken any further action." etc. . Mr. Zhang felt increasingly uneasy and finally decided to call the police. After investigation, the police discovered a member of a suspected fraud gang. They obtain citizens' personal information and property by sending false information and deceiving. At the same time, they also use the Internet to make friends to achieve the purpose of fraud. The police remind citizens to remain vigilant when communicating on the Internet and not to disclose personal information and property easily. If you find that you may have joined a fraud gang, call the police immediately so that you can take timely action to minimize losses.
Mr. Zhang has a successful career and a relatively stable financial foundation, so he immediately shows the other person his strong financial resources after adding a friend. Soon after, Mr. Zhang successfully courted Li's heart. In the days that followed, Mr. Zhang got to know nine of her "best friends" through Li, and learned more about her daily life through these best friends.
Recently, Li and his "best friends" have sought loans from Mr. Zhang on the grounds that their parents are hospitalized, they are sick, and they have to repay the loan.
At first, Mr. Zhang was convinced of the identity of Li and his "best friends" and would not hesitate to call them no matter how much money he borrowed. But gradually, Mr. Zhang found that the other party was unrestrained and asked for more money from him. He began to notice that they always seemed to have various reasons for requiring him to pay various fees, including some that seemed unrelated. Considering that the public security organs are currently carrying out anti-fraud propaganda, Mr. Zhang increasingly suspects that he has encountered a fraud gang. So, he decided to call the police at the police station. After calling the police, Mr. Zhang provided as many details and evidence as possible, including chat records, transfer records, etc. between him and Li and his "best friend". The police launched an in-depth investigation and followed up on relevant clues. After investigation, the police finally discovered the whereabouts of this fraud gang and arrested it. Li and his "best friend" were eventually held criminally responsible and forced to return the amount they defrauded. Mr. Zhang received support and encouragement from friends and family in the process. He realized that reporting the crime to the police in a timely manner was an important step to protect himself and others. He also issued a warning to the public, hoping that everyone would be wary of fraud and avoid being deceived.
In this story, two women assume the role of dance bloggers, while nine other women pretend to be.
In order to speed up the investigation of the truth of the incident, the Seventh Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of Licang Branch teamed up with the Hushan Road Police Station to form a task force to launch the investigation.
In the process of sorting out the whereabouts of the funds, the police of the task force discovered an important fact: among the ten people, only Li and her best friend Tong had bank cards. The money that Li remitted to her best friend Wang was directly transferred to her uncle Zhang. In addition, Zhou and Ye did not have bank cards. In order to continue to obtain funds, Mr. Zhang sent his two bank cards to them respectively and transferred money to these two bank cards. At this time, the victim Mr. Zhang provided key clues to the police. According to the information he provided, the details of the two bank cards sent to Zhou and Ye showed that cash was withdrawn from an ATM in Binzhou respectively. Combining these circumstances, we can conclude that Zhou and Ye withdrew cash from the ATM, while Li and Tong remitted the funds to their relatives. These behaviors all involve the flow and transfer of illegal funds, so this has constituted illegal and criminal acts.
After clarifying the whereabouts of the funds, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, the police first went to the ATM machine in Binzhou to retrieve the on-site surveillance video. After observation, the police found that the person who took away the cash was not a young female college student, but a man over 30 years old.
After further confirming the identity, the police discovered that the man withdrawing cash was the same person as Wang's uncle Zhang. Further investigation confirmed this, and the police began to track Zhang’s whereabouts. As the investigation deepened, the police were surprised to find that Li's best friend Tong was not a female college student, but a woman in her 50s. What’s even more surprising is that Tong turned out to be Zhang’s mother. All the evidence points to Zhang being suspected of committing a major crime. After further investigation, the police finally confirmed Zhang’s whereabouts and arrested him. After interrogation, Zhang confessed to the crime he committed and explained why he killed Li. It turned out that there was a past between Zhang and Li. When Zhang was still a student, he once pursued Li, but was rejected by Li. Since then, Zhang has been holding a grudge and wanted to take revenge on Li. Zhang carefully planned the murder and used Tong's identity and the identity of Zhang's mother to cover up his crime. He took away Li's cash and killed Li to cover up his criminal behavior. In the end, Zhang was sentenced to death and lost his freedom forever. This case shocked the entire city and sounded the alarm for us, warning us not to forget our responsibilities and obligations and to be alert to the risks and threats around us.
In order to solve this problem, the police went to the unit where Zhang worked and found him. When the police saw the police from Qingdao, Zhang acted very panicked and spoke incoherently. After being questioned step by step by the police, Zhang finally revealed the truth and admitted that he had defrauded Mr. Zhang of millions of cash. According to Zhang’s confession, he pretended to be ten female college students and chatted with Mr. Zhang in a blind date event, and finally succeeded in defrauding him of cash. The police expressed shock at this and believed that this was a very serious fraud case. After further investigation by the police, it was discovered that Zhang searched the information of ten female college students on the Internet and pretended to be them to chat with Mr. Zhang. In the end, Zhang successfully deceived Mr. Zhang's trust without being discovered. Currently, Zhang has been controlled by the police and is undergoing further investigation. We will continue to monitor the development of this matter and provide the latest information.
A man played multiple roles and defrauded more than 460 million yuan.
According to Zhang’s confession, in 2018, he realized that short videos were very popular around the world, and publishing a video could get a lot of views. So he started operating an account to post information about female art students' daily lives, performances and art exams. In the process, he met Li, a female college student who provided materials.
In order to facilitate operations, Zhang discussed with Li, registered an account through Li's identity, and applied for a bank card. After four years of careful operation, this account has also gained many fans. Around May 2022, Zhang followed this account and came to the fan group. In the fan group, Zhang found that the comments revealed his admiration for Mr. Zhang. So Zhang added Mr. Zhang as a WeChat friend, hoping that he would send him a red envelope. However, what Zhang did not expect was that Mr. Zhang was very generous and immediately gave him tens of thousands of yuan. This incident shocked Zhang very much. He began to think about how he would respond if he encountered a similar situation. So, he decided to share his experience to remind other fans not to trust strangers easily, especially online. Through Zhang's efforts, the number of fans of this account is increasing, and she has also taken this opportunity to meet many like-minded people. She also hopes that everyone can, like her, learn to protect themselves and avoid unnecessary harm.
Zhang suddenly received a huge transfer, and he was knocked unconscious instantly. At this time, a thought suddenly occurred to him. Since Mr. Zhang is so wealthy, why not defraud him of more money? So, Zhang started his own plan. Zhang first agreed to become Mr. Zhang's girlfriend and introduced 9 of his "best friends" to him. By constantly changing his identity and chatting with Mr. Zhang, he gradually gained Mr. Zhang's trust. Then, he began to borrow money from Mr. Zhang for various reasons, and demanded more than 460 million yuan from him. When Mr. Zhang borrows money from Zhang, he can always find various reasons to explain his situation. For example, he often says that his parents are sick and need funds, or that he is sick and needs funds for treatment. Sometimes, he would also make up some reasons to deceive Mr. Zhang, such as he was heartbroken and needed comfort, etc. Although these reasons sound far-fetched, Mr. Zhang has always believed in Zhang. He considered Zhang to be his confidant and his lover. He didn't know that Zhang had been deceiving him so that he could get his money. Eventually, Mr. Zhang realized that he had been deceived by Zhang. He felt angry and stupid for believing a liar and trusting him. He reported the incident to the police and Zhang was arrested. This story tells us that deception is not advisable. We should not trust strangers, especially when money is involved. We should learn to identify true and false and protect our own interests.
