CBN Friday Special丨China’s anti-telecom fraud campaign bears fruit

er falling victim to an investment scam. She told the police that someone persuaded her to take out a mortgage on her apartment and invest the money into a “wealth management plan.” But guess what? She lost her home, plus 2 million yuan in debt.

R: Seniors are more likely to believe false advertisements and exaggerated claims. Once they see others speaking highly of the project, they won’t want to miss out. Moreover, when cash-strapped college students try to look for easy money to finance their education or their expensive tastes, they can become easy prey for loan sharks, who entice them with deals that seem to entail no conditions or collateral. I saw on the news the other day that a 19-year-old student went missing, and it was later revealed that she owed several online lenders a total of 340,000 yuan, including interest.

S:This kind of cases shows that university-aged students lack awareness while being too eager to make easy money. And single people can also be the target of fraud gangs in recent years. As there are more than 240 million single people in China, illicit matchmakers are eager to profit from their search for love.

Last December, a Beijing court sentenced six people to prison for squeezing 4 million yuan from dozens of people hoping to find romantic partners through a matchmaking agency. A female client even shelled out nearly 500,000 yuan to find a partner following her divorce. The matchmaking agency targeted single women and men, promising “high-quality” dates for premium fees of up to 100,000 yuan.

R:Right. Telecom frauds, as their name suggests, usually start with a fake phone call, like one pretending to be a police officer and tries to make the victims nervous by saying that they or their family have committed a crime and asks for their personal identification and bank account information. So Stephanie, do you know how telephone scammers get these phone numbers and personal information?

S:Well, I do have some clue. One of China’s largest courier companies, YTO Express, confirmed reports that its employees had sold some 400,000 pieces of customers’ personal information to criminals, who commonly use such data to target people for telecom fraud and other scams. According to the investigation, a few employees at franchisee delivery stations are suspected of colluding with outlaws outside the company.

R: Yes, except for exploiting employees to steal personal information, fraud gangs also recruit people from Sichuan, Hubei and Yunnan provinces to smuggle people overseas through the southwest border to participate in fraudulent activities. Due to the continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been difficult for Chinese public security organs to carry out joint crackdowns on fraud abroad. Overseas fraud cases have grown rapidly, and fraud activities targeting Chinese citizens have become increasingly rampant.

S:But China has put all efforts into cracking down these fraud activities, including using technology to fight against them, which regulators described as “an upgraded ‘attack and defence’ war in the cyber world.”

At a press conference held yesterday, the Public Security Ministry said that about 1.95 billion fraud calls, 2.14 billion fraud messages and 2.11 million related websites were blocked in 2021, which prevented financial losses of about 330 billion yuan. China is also drafting new data protection policies on industrial data security and personal information protection, said the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

R:What’s more, rather than jail time or hefty fines, China’s justice system is employing a new type of punishment for criminals this year: massive inconvenience.

People found guilty of bank card and mobile SIM card-related crimes in the southern Guangdong province over the past month have been barred from making mobile and bank card payments for five years. They will now only be able to use cash. The punishment is tantamount to social exclusion in a country where mobile payments are employed in every area of life. Similar punishments have included bans from public transport, which were mocked by Chinese netizens as “causing a social death.”

S: But it’s always better to prevent the crime in advance than to crack down on it afterward. The Chinese government is calling for active public participation from all walks of life, such as organising anti-fraud campaigns for seniors and distributing popularising-law brochures.

Moreover, China has developed the app "National Anti-fraud Center," which is designed to remind users of suspected fraudulent activities in various forms, including phone calls, text messages, or dubious apps and websites. It also offers a convenient reporting service in case users get involved in suspicious activities in their daily life. Dozens of anti-fraud lectures are also included in the app. Since its launch in mid-March 2021, the app has quickly become one of the most downloaded free apps in Apple’s App Store in China.

R: With China's intensified crackdown on such crimes, the number of newly reported telecom fraud cases has declined for nine consecutive months starting June 2021, official figures unveiled Thursday.

Over the past year, a total of 394,000 criminal cases involving telecom fraud have been investigated nationwide and 634,000 criminal suspects have been arrested, marking a year-on-year increase of 28.5 percent and 76.6 percent respectively.

S: Well that’s good to know that the country is looking out for us by being absolutely hard on telecom and online frauds. As we became increasingly reliant on the internet for remote work and schooling amid the pandemic, it’s also important that we equip ourselves with anti-fraud knowledge and use the anti-fraud app.

R: Right, I should probably do that too. Stephanie, could you show me where I can get the app…

你管好“钱袋子”了吗？你究竟也被“专业屠夫”宰过？你能一秒识破“骗局”吗？电讯行骗方法花样百出，真真假假，一时间难以辨别。一不小心，下一秒滑落行骗引诱的，可能就是你。

据最高者国法披露数据集显示，在2020年，国法制电讯行骗案件关乎金额有约300亿元总金额，其中所互联网成电讯行骗的新途径。根据公安部的数据集，如今电讯行骗的方法早仍未“加速迭代”，分工越发精密，站在无论如何的视角上看，很多骗局听起来都非常“儿戏”，较易看破。但是杀人犯却往往“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中所。”出乎意料的是，受害主要年纪段成80后、90后，这些年轻受害占到比近70%。

针对不同的年纪阶级、个人特征，骗子总都能精密重挫，“对症下药”。

相比起年轻人，老年人的反馈甄别、搜集能力较弱，往往伴随着“羊群行为”陷入行骗正当中所。2018年4月底，有个微信群聊发起公告，向群友承诺只要缴纳10元“注册费”，参加杭州室外体育场的一个聚会，就可以分钱5万元。等到约定当天，成群的老年人聚集在奥林匹克体育场，大家原本欢欢喜喜去“淘金”，等到现场才惊觉被骗了。在另一起案件中所，68岁房东被一个投资骗局骗得倾家荡产，沦落街头。她告知疑犯，贷款人说服她把房子贷款人了，然后把钱投资到一个“钱财管理计划案”中所。房东不仅失去了房子，还债务200万元。

同样地，在校生也是行骗团伙的“香饽饽”。为了实现自己高昂的教育或消费需求，“囊中所羞涩”的学生们往往会剑走偏锋，争取高利贷。捉到这一心理后，骗子会以“零借贷负担”作为噱头来吸引他们。1月底，19岁女同学失踪。后来疑犯认识到，包括利息在内，她共欠了几家网上借贷行政部门34万元。

另外，已婚民间团体也可能成行骗团伙的捕食者。中所国有有约2.4亿已婚民间团体，有的骗子伪装成“媒人”顺利进行高价收费。去年12月底，被控有6人因敲诈数十名已婚400万元，被杭州一家国最高者法院被控有期徒刑。潭女士是受害之一，据她讲解，自婚后后，她在这家婚介行政部门花了近50万元找对象，行政部门号称能随之而来“极好”约会，但也只是“杀猪盘”罢了，其中所有的单项收费高达10万元。

除了多种多样的行骗噱头，行骗已俨然转变成一条完整利益链。

在此前的新闻报道中所，某快递公司裁员曾向犯罪者分子出售约40万份零售商反馈，而犯罪者分子通常借助这些数据集来针对人们顺利进行电讯盗窃和其他骗局。内中，加盟商派送站的几名裁员不国法分子勾结，借助裁员留言板和非国法第三方方国法窃取订单反馈，让不国法分子有机可乘。

行骗团伙除了借助裁员窃取反馈外，还从四川、湖北、海南等地招募人员，通过西南边境将人入境者到国内，参与行骗社区活动。2019年以来，随着新冠胃癌禽流感长时间暴发，国法制公安局在境外开展联合重挫行骗行动重复性加大。国内盗窃行为增长短时间，针对中所国公民的盗窃社区活动日益猖獗。

除了监禁与巨额罚款，司国法系统对犯人采取了最初重挫方法：给犯罪者分子的孤独带来不便。在此之前，广东省内因日用品信用卡和手机SIM卡犯罪者团伙，日后抓获，在五年内便无国法用手机和信用卡偿还债务，情况下采取支票的方式。从公共汽车到杂货店娱乐场所，从家庭电话簿，到医疗保健，再到旅游，移动偿还债务被广泛应用于孤独的各行各业，这种惩罚无疑是让他们化身社会变迁底部人，体验到“政治性死亡”是何种最爱。

然而，第一时间预防总胜于事后重挫。中所国政府强烈要求社会变迁各界作出贡献到反诈行动中所来，类似于面向老年人的科普演讲会、发放广泛应用国法律手册等社区活动已蔚然成风。此外，除了线下社区活动，国家政府更有大力制定“国家政府反诈为中所心”APP，提醒用户防范各种形式的被控盗窃社区活动。在此之前，这款APP 在iOS应用商店的电子书列表中所名列榜首。

“数据集链”治理也是重挫电讯网络行骗犯罪者的重要内容。4月底14日，国新办官网上，工业部门和反馈化部表示，将加快制定相关国法规，研究制定App搜罗使用反馈、车联网、人工智能等重要应用数据集安全标准，强化反馈保护和数据集安全监管。

2021年，公安部会同相关部门事与愿违反制行骗电话19.5亿次，转发21.4亿条，紧急反制涉诈资金3291亿元。一年来，各地区共破获电讯网络行骗案件39.4万起，抓获犯罪者嫌疑人63.4万名，同比分别回升28.5%和76.6%，重挫战术上有鉴于此历史新低。
