PANews reported on May 13 that according to Guangming.com, Mr. Tang recently reported to the Beicai Police Station that he received a courier text message for 900 yuan to be paid on delivery. When he contacted the other party to cancel, he was asked to provide bank card information. After clicking on the link and entering the relevant information, his bank account was deducted more than one million yuan, and he realized that he had been defrauded. After receiving the report, the Anti-Fraud Center of the Pudong Public Security Bureau, Sanlin Public Security Bureau, and Beicai Police Station set up a special task force to investigate. After efforts, it was initially identified that a criminal gang headed by Miao and Wang, under the guise of labor recruitment, recruited people to register virtual currency wallets and laundered money.
From April 22 to 23, the police launched a "net-closing operation" and arrested 11 criminal suspects in Qingpu District, Shanghai, successfully destroying the gang. After interrogation, Miao and Wang confessed that the gang recruited people to provide mobile phones to register virtual currency wallet accounts, and then sold them to overseas fraudsters through overseas chat tools. At present, Miao and Wang have been detained according to law, and five people including Sheng have been taken criminal compulsory measures. The case is under further investigation, and some of the defrauded funds have been frozen and recovered.
