A certain criminal gang recruits personnel to register virtual currency wallets and provide illegal fund circulation accounts for overseas fraudsters

BlockBeats news, on May 13th, according to Guangming Net, Mr. Tang, the caller, came to Beicai Police Station to report that he suddenly received a text message on his phone stating that a package needed to be signed for, but he needed to pay 900 yuan on delivery. He then contacted the caller by phone to cancel the package, but the caller claimed that he needed to provide his bank card information in order to continue processing. He sent Mr. Tang a link, and after clicking on the link, he entered his bank card number and verification code as required, only to find that his bank account had been deducted, resulting in a cumulative loss of over one million yuan. Only then did he realize that he had encountered fraud. After receiving the report, the Anti Fraud Center of Pudong Public Security Bureau immediately established a special task force in conjunction with Sanlin Public Security Office and Beicai Police Station to carry out investigation work. After efforts, it has been preliminarily identified that a criminal gang led by Miao and Wang, under the guise of labor recruitment, recruited personnel to register virtual currency wallets and engage in money laundering. From April 22 to 23, the police carried out a "network closing operation" and arrested 11 suspect in Qingpu District of Shanghai, successfully destroying the criminal gang. After the police interrogation, the suspect Miao Moumou and Wang Moumou explained that the gang recruited Sheng Moumou, Weng Moumou and others under the guise of labor recruitment, required the recruited people to provide mobile phones and register virtual currency wallet accounts, and then sold these accounts to overseas fraudsters through overseas chat tools at a price ranging from 40 to 50 yuan each for fraud activities. Currently, two individuals, Miao and Wang, have been criminally detained by the police on suspicion of fraud, while five individuals, Sheng and Weng, have been subjected to criminal coercive measures on suspicion of concealing and covering up their criminal activities. The case is currently under further investigation, and the police have frozen and recovered some of the defrauded funds. The work of recovering the stolen goods and losses is underway.
