Hunan and Guangdong police jointly cracked the "Times Color" mega-cyber fraud case.

  Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, April 23 (Reporter Liu Liangheng) The Changsha Municipal Public Security Bureau reported on the 23rd that the police in Changsha and the Shenzhen police recently cracked a mega-cyber fraud case, arresting 164 people involved and destroying 11 dens.

  In March of this year, Kaifu Branch of Changsha Public Security Bureau received an alarm from the victim, saying that he had lost more than 30,000 yuan with the bet "Time Lottery" by netizens, and later realized that he might have encountered online fraud. A preliminary investigation by the police handling the case found that the criminal suspect set up a company to recruit "marketers" for the convenience of committing crimes. These "marketers" often set women’s pictures as avatars and add a large number of strange netizens through chat tools such as WeChat and QQ. After chatting with each other and getting familiar with each other, the "marketers" claimed that they had "inside information" of the "Time Lottery" website, and sent screenshots of their so-called "winning money" to the victims. After defrauding the victims’ trust, they sent the "Time Lottery" website and invited the victims to register their accounts to participate in gambling. The company manipulated the data of "Shi Shi Cai" through the background, and set up layers of obstacles for the victims to withdraw cash until they defrauded the victims of all their funds.

  After careful investigation, the police task force gradually grasped the 11 dens set up by the fraud gang in Yuhua District, Furong District and Yuelu District of Changsha City, and found out its means of committing crimes and organizational structure. On April 17, more than 390 police officers were mobilized in Changsha and Shenzhen to carry out centralized network-closing operations in accordance with the unified deployment. Among them, 107 suspects were arrested in four fraud dens under the responsibility of Changsha police, and all six principals who organized the establishment of dens were arrested. In seven fraud dens under the responsibility of Shenzhen police, 57 suspects were arrested, and all five principals who organized the establishment of dens were arrested. A large number of crime tools were also seized at the scene.

  At present, the case is still under investigation.
