Heilongjiang Province Mudanjiang police cracked a major virtual currency telecommunications fraud case

Recently, after more than two months of meticulous investigation, the Anti-Fraud Center of the Public Security Bureau of Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province and the Public Security Bureau of Hailin City successfully cracked a major virtual currency telecommunications fraud case involving more than 1 million yuan, and arrested 7 criminal suspects across provinces.

In March this year, Cheng, a resident of Hailin City, added a friend named "Occasionally Ordinary" through WeChat. While browsing the circle of friends, Cheng saw that the other party frequently bought and sold "Bitcoin" to make a profit. After frequent chats, Cheng soon believed in this friend. According to the other party's "instructions", Cheng downloaded a certain APP applet, added the QQ number of the "programmer", and recharged and purchased "Bitcoin" on the Internet based on the daily rise and fall information received.

In a few days, Cheng recharged nearly 570,000 yuan in the APP. When Cheng tried to withdraw cash, he found that he was cheated and immediately reported the case to the Hailin Public Security Bureau. In late June, through the convergence and certification of multiple clues, the task force believed that the time for arrest had come. The Anti-Fraud Center of the Mudanjiang Public Security Bureau and the Hailin Public Security Bureau dispatched a number of elite police officers to Xiamen, Quanzhou, Putian, Anxi, Xianyou and other places in Fujian Province, and successively arrested 7 criminal suspects including Chen and Xie, and seized more than 1 million yuan in funds involved in the case. Through interrogation, the 7 criminal suspects confessed to the crime of using virtual currency to commit telecommunications network fraud against the victim Cheng and others. At present, the case is being further handled.
