"Don’t believe in overseas’ high-paying recruitment’.

That’s not heaven,

It is hell. "

Almost died in Wang Chao abroad.

Recalling to the prosecutor handling the case

When he was working in Cambodia,

Still shaking all over today

Have a lingering fear

Smuggle abroad to join a fraud gang

In February, 2021, Biefei, Miao Liang and others saw a job advertisement in an Internet cafe, and a self-proclaimed KK pointed out a "bright way" for them. "KK" told them that working abroad is good for making money, earning tens of thousands of yuan a month easily, and also including food and shelter.

Although vaguely aware that something was wrong, six people, including Biefei, Miao Liang and Wang Chao, were still lucky and came up with the idea of making a fortune in Cambodia. They sneaked into Cambodia under the organization of "KK". Unexpectedly, it became the beginning of a nightmare.

On March 6th, 2021, Wang Chao, Biefei, Miao Liang and other six people went from Xinzheng Airport in Henan to Nanning Airport in Guangxi without going through the entry and exit formalities, and then took the bus to Chongzuo City and Jingxi City. Under the control of "snakeheads" at home and abroad, they hid in caves during the day and traveled in the dark at night, hungry and frightened for more than 10 days. On March 22nd of the same year, they sneaked into Vietnam.

After arriving in Cambodia, they entered a "park" (slang for cheating dens) and the supervisor arranged "jobs" for them.

The fraud group has a clear division of labor, including finance, logistics, agency, team leader, salesman and other positions, which uniformly arrange accommodation and distribute mobile phones used for fraud; Backstage personnel are responsible for providing dating software and accounts used by fraudsters in a unified way, and controlling the App platforms used by fraud groups, such as investment and wealth management, single rebate, sex in the same city and online dating, to lure victims to recharge.

The salesman posted false information on social software for packaging, and added a large number of friends to trick the victim into recharging. By artificially controlling the results in the background, the victim was successfully withdrawn in the early stage, which induced him to continue to recharge in large amounts. Later, he refused to withdraw cash on the grounds of "frozen account" and "wrong bank card input" and guided the victim to continue recharging.

After being trained in fraud, Wang Chao and other six people worked together in three dens, playing the roles of "receiving powder" (screening and drainage), "receiving" (luring investment), "speculating group" (confusing the periphery) and "swordsman" (finally ending), and using multiple micro-signals to chat in fraud groups in the name of investment and financial management, single rebate, making an appointment in the same city and online dating.

They use small red envelopes, profit screenshots and yellow pictures, small videos, short messages for soliciting prostitutes, seductive messages, etc. as bait to trick the victims into downloading and registering fraudulent App software developed by fraud gangs, and gradually induce the victims to conduct large-scale investment and financial management, high-value recharge and gambling activities from small to large.

When the time is ripe, the "Knife Man" manipulates from the background of the fraudulent App, deliberately causing the system to crash, resulting in all losses of the victim’s investment, or tricking the other party into continuing to invest and recharge under the pretext of paying taxes, paying deposits, verifying funds and rescue funds due to operational errors. If the victim finds out that he has been cheated, he will black out the victim’s account, delete it and kick it out of the group chat, and then the stolen money will be laundered by a special company and divided up. Six people defrauded China citizens of more than 10 million yuan in more than 400 days from April 2021 to October 2022.

After the so-called internship period, the company will give everyone deceptive indicators, and anyone who fails to complete the task will be electrocuted and beaten. People like Wang Chao really realized what life is worse than death.

"The thugs often beat employees with fists, sticks, etc., and even electrocute employees who can’t finish the task with electric batons until the power is exhausted …" Wang Chao said that almost every staff member in the company has been beaten, and sometimes even managers beat people randomly when they are in a bad mood.

In the meantime, because the company where Wang Chao worked closed down and owed a lot of foreign debts, he was resold by his boss as "private goods" to another telecommunication network fraud den. Because of "no performance", he was greeted by a worse beating.

The police cracked down on transnational fraud and escaped back to China.

In 2022, due to the serious epidemic situation in Cambodia, the public security conditions were even worse, and people around him were often beaten, injured and disabled, so Wang Chao and others didn’t want to stay in Cambodia, and they all started to think about going home.

In September, 2022, Chinese and Cambodian police jointly cracked down on crimes of smuggling, telecom fraud and online gambling, and the fraud gang to which six people belonged was cracked down. Six people in Wang Chao took advantage of the chaos and fled to hide, and immediately contacted the Public Security Bureau of neixiang county, Henan Province for help, intending to return to China and surrender themselves.

Neixiang county Public Security Bureau received help from Wang Chao and others. After learning more about the relevant situation, it actively reported to the superior for support. Through the coordination of the superior, the relevant departments provided relevant help to Wang Chao and others. On October 31, 2022, Miao Liang, Chen Yan and other four people were rescued and returned to China first.

With the efforts of many parties, in December 2022, Wang Chao and Biefei were finally repatriated with the assistance of the Lao police.

After filing the case, neixiang county Public Security Bureau invited neixiang county Procuratorate to intervene in the case in advance. On March 10th this year, the case was transferred for review and prosecution. Subsequently, neixiang county Procuratorate prosecuted six people, including Wang Chao, Biefei, Miao Liang and Chen Yan, on suspicion of crossing the border, organizing others to cross the border, and fraud.

According to the facts of the case and the defendant’s criminal facts, nature, circumstances and the degree of harm to society, all the courts in neixiang county adopted the prosecution opinions of the procuratorial organs. On March 31st, the neixiang county court sentenced six defendants to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from two years and three months to six years and three months, and fined them 30,000 to 70,000 yuan for the crimes of crossing the border illegally, organizing others to cross the border illegally and fraud. On April 8, some defendants appealed to the Nanyang Intermediate People’s Court, which held a hearing and ruled in accordance with the law on June 28, rejecting the appeal and upholding the original judgment. Now the judgment in this case has come into effect.

Cambodia’s "gold rush" not only failed to bring wealth to several defendants, but also brought jail.

Beware of the trap of "going abroad for work with high salary"

"Don’t believe in the overseas’ high salary’ trap." Wang Chao said that at the moment he returned to China, he felt really relaxed and no longer had to worry about losing his life at any time. "Even if you come back to jail, you are willing. At least you can live!" He admits that he repents and is willing to bear legal responsibility for the crimes he committed.

In recent years, telecommunication network fraud crimes are extremely rampant. Under the guise of "making money every day", criminals attract others to steal across the country (border) and then go back to commit fraud crimes against domestic people.

The lure of high salary for overseas workers and the so-called "getting rich overnight" and "working with high salary" are just means for swindlers to "kidnap" deceived people to engage in illegal and criminal activities. Young people should be vigilant, keep their eyes open, don’t believe in false recruitment information, avoid falling into the trap of cross-border telecom fraud criminal groups or gangs, consciously resist going abroad or participating in illegal activities involving gambling and fraud on the Internet, and strictly abide by the entry and exit management regulations. Don’t illegally enter and leave the country to try the law and touch the "high-voltage line" of the law.

The prosecutor hereby reminds the masses that there are various forms of telecommunication network fraud, and it is impossible to prevent it. It is necessary to enhance the awareness of prevention, screen more when receiving strange calls, and don’t believe in the so-called "investment recommendation", "brushing a single part-time job", "online shopping refund" and "online dating in different places". Don’t click and download apps and URL links from unknown sources, and beware of being deceived.
