[00:00:12] CCTV Video.
[00:00:36] According to netizens, a woman was defrauded of 80,000 yuan
[00:00:38] .
[00:00:44] Why did a short video make him fall into a trap
[00:00:47] again?
[00:00:56] A gambling website led to a criminal group hidden overseas.
[00:02:30] It is a profession that legally protects the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, so how can it be involved
[00:02:33] in fraud? To uncover this mystery, let's start with Ms. Zhou's
[00:02:37] first experience of being defrauded
[00:02:40] . Ms. Zhou works as a clerk in a company
[00:02:44] in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. A few years ago, one of his online friends found him
[00:02:48] and said that he was investing in a shopping website project. After successful operation, the profit
[00:02:52] would be very considerable. At present, it is in the preparation stage, and he hopes that Ms. Zhou
[00:02:55] can invest in shares, and there will be high dividends
[00:02:59] in the future.
[00:04:49] The police had difficulty verifying his true identity at the time. The investigation of the case was therefore at a stalemate , and Ms. Zhou's loss of 80,000 yuan
[00:04:53] could not be recovered temporarily . I was still too naive
[00:04:57] .
[00:06:47] Ms. , after their investigation, the 80,000 yuan she was defrauded of that year had been transferred by the criminal suspect and finally flowed into a gambling online platform
[00:06:50] , and it was difficult to recover the money . However, they had a
[00:06:54] way to help her recover her losses , that is, they found that
[00:06:58] the gambling website is still operating normally. Their technical
[00:07:02] department can change the betting odds of the gambling website through background operations
[00:07:06] , which means that Ms. Zhou will surely win after betting
[00:07:10] as long as she bets according to the requirements
[00:07:54] . Under the guidance of that technician, Ms. Zhou registered an account on that gambling website and bound her bank card. To be on the safe side,
[00:07:58] she only recharged 100 yuan at first . Unexpectedly, after the lottery, the balance
[00:08:02] in her account became 115 yuan, earning
[00:08:05] 15 yuan
[00:08:06] .
[00:08:12] Then.
[00:08:34] This time, Ms. Zhou completely let down her guard, and she was even a little excited, forgetting the risks. She calculated that if she invested a little more, it wouldn't take long for her to earn back the 80,000 yuan she lost. In the next two days, she followed the other party's
[00:08:38] guidance and invested 999 yuan in two separate transactions
[00:09:01] . Hearing this, Ms. Zhou suddenly realized that she might have been defrauded again. After Ms. Zhou
[00:09:04] realized she was defrauded, she contacted Lawyer Li and the technician again, asking
[00:09:08] for a refund, but the two never responded to her again. Subsequently
[00:09:12] , that gambling website also became inaccessible . She had no choice but to
[00:09:16] report the crime again . They took advantage of our
[00:09:20] eagerness to recover losses .
[00:09:22] This mentality.
[00:09:32] Ms. Zhou was previously defrauded of 80,000 yuan by someone she met online, and she wanted to contact
[00:09:36] the so-called Lawyer Li in the short video to help her recover her losses
[00:09:40] . Unexpectedly, she fell into
[00:10:12] . In September 2023, Mr. Wang trusted a netizen's suggestion and invested
[00:10:16] in an agricultural project, investing more than 400,000 yuan. As a result,
[00:10:20] after the money was invested, the project disappeared, and the netizen
[00:10:24] also disappeared. More than 400,000 yuan was lost. He realized
[00:10:28] he was defrauded and reported the crime. The police investigated and confirmed that this was a case
[00:10:31] of telecom network fraud. It was difficult to solve the case in the short term, and Mr. Wang's losses
[00:10:35] were difficult to recover . He asked me to register
[00:10:39] the situation .
[00:10:43] More than a year passed, and Mr. Wang still did not receive news of the case being solved
[00:10:47] . And the more than 400,000 yuan he was defrauded of made him always
[00:10:50] unable to let go. One day in October 2024, Mr. Wang was brushing
[00:11:32] . They can modify the betting odds to ensure that Mr. Wang wins after betting and help him recover
[00:11:36] his losses. Under the opponent's instigation, Mr. Wang
[00:11:39] recharged more than 200,000 yuan . When he won nearly a million yuan
[00:11:43] on the account and wanted to withdraw cash , the other party said that he had to pay
[00:11:47] more than 40,000 yuan in taxes before he could. This made him feel
[00:11:51] that something was wrong. My account balance
[00:11:55] has already
[00:11:56] reached 1 million.
[00:11:59] Then the computer person on that side said, "You have to pay taxes, everyone has to pay taxes. If you don't pay, you can't withdraw." I thought, "This is not
[00:12:09] what my teacher told me. He told me to put my own money in and mess around with it. I feel like this is not right.
[00:12:17] At this time, Wang had a bad premonition. He did not pay the so-called tax
[00:12:23] . Sure enough, a few days later, the gambling website
[00:12:55] encountered difficulties, and its true identity was difficult to ascertain for a while
[00:12:59] . However, the victims all mentioned that the criminal suspects had asked them
[00:13:03] to log in to a gambling online platform . Although this platform is currently
[00:13:07] inaccessible, through technical analysis, the case handlers
[00:13:10] successfully tracked and located the server behind the platform, and
[00:13:14] extracted a large number of data files
[00:13:18] from the server through technical means
[00:13:21] . Among the remotely extracted data files, there were records of fraudsters and victims
[00:15:37] . He and others formed a group, and Wu was the leader of the group
[00:15:41] . The identities of the group members were identified, but because the group
[00:15:45] was hiding overseas, it was impossible to arrest them immediately. Therefore
[00:15:49] , the case handlers listed Wu and Li and other group members
[00:15:53] as fugitives and put them on the wanted list
[00:15:56] . In May 2025, the case handlers received a tip that a member of the fraud group
[00:16:00] , Li, would arrive in Xiamen, Fujian by plane from overseas
[00:16:04] . The case handlers immediately dispatched people to Xiamen. Finally, with the cooperation of the Xiamen police
[00:16:08] , Li was arrested as soon as he landed
[00:16:11] . So how did their group operate
[00:16:15] ? Why did they impersonate a lawyer to commit secondary fraud
[00:16:19] against the victims? The case handlers interrogated Li. Facing the interrogation
[00:16:23] , Li initially did not admit that he had committed telecom network fraud
[00:16:26] overseas
[00:16:28] .
[00:16:36] criminal behavior. There was no fraud, he himself thought he was
[00:16:40] abroad with his girlfriend running a beauty salon, helping out in the shop
[00:16:44] , and he always denied that he was involved in this telecom network fraud
[00:16:48] . The suspect fell into the net, what secrets will he
[00:16:51] reveal
[00:16:52] ?
[00:16:58] They committed fraud, and what kind of punishment will they face
[00:17:01] ? The scam of recovering losses, Today's Talk
[00:17:05] is now broadcasting . Subsequently
[00:17:08] , the case handlers extracted Li's phone information and recovered a large number
[00:17:12] of deleted chat records through technical means
[00:17:16] . These records clearly showed Li's daily communication
[00:17:20] with group members, including the statistical reconciliation of fraudulent funds
[00:17:24] and the payment of salaries and commissions . The case handlers
[00:17:28] presented the recovered phone data along with other evidence
[00:17:31] obtained earlier to Li . In front of the evidence
[00:17:35] , Li's psychological defense gradually loosened
[00:17:38] . He finally admitted to participating in telecom network fraud
[00:17:41] overseas . In 2024
[00:17:44] . Later , I met Brother Wu
[00:17:57] . In 2022, he went abroad to operate a mobile phone store
[00:18:01] . In his daily business, he met Wu, who was the leader of their group
[00:18:05] . In early 2024
[00:19:22] , they found someone to forge the business license of a law firm and a lawyer's professional certificate , but in order to confuse the victims
[00:19:26] , they used real law firm names and lawyer names, so
[00:19:30] that even if the victims searched online, it would be difficult to find
[00:19:33] any flaws .
[00:19:58] The third step is to guide the victims to deposit and bet on the designated gambling online platform
[00:20:01] , claiming that by modifying the odds , funds can be recovered
[00:20:05] . Finally, they will fabricate various
[00:20:58] . After understanding the modus operandi and methods of this criminal group, the case handlers intensified their pursuit of the group. Through multiple deployments, in August 2025, the case handlers
[00:21:01] learned that another member of the group , He, was hiding
[00:21:05] in Wenzhou, Zhejiang . The case handlers arrested
[00:21:09] He. At that time, I was sleeping at the company
[00:21:11] .
[00:21:19] I said: He worked at a technology company
[00:21:23] when the incident occurred. In early 2024, he met Li
[00:21:27] online through a friend's introduction, who was the group member arrested earlier
[00:21:30] . Li claimed to have a gambling online platform that required technicians
[00:21:34] to frequently change the website's domain name and pay for it. This
[00:21:38] was not difficult for He, who was engaged in related work , so he agreed
[00:21:42] .
[00:21:45] This gambling website . I
[00:21:48] couldn't access the other parts
[00:21:50] .
[00:21:53] We weren't together. And they just asked me
[00:21:57] to change that, uh , domain name of the website. If the domain name didn't work
[00:22:01] and I couldn't get in, they asked me to help them change it. That's how it was. He
[00:22:05] confessed. Initially, he thought it was just an illegal gambling website
[00:22:08] and didn't realize it was involved in telecom network fraud
[00:22:12] . To earn some extra money, he didn't pay much attention. After that
[00:22:16] , every once in a while, when that gambling website was reported by domestic regulatory authorities
[00:22:39] , he immediately stopped and hid, but the case handlers still found
[00:22:43] him and arrested him. Finally, He was charged
[00:22:47] with the crime of assisting information network criminal activities
[00:23:34] . The charge was established. Li played a major role in the joint crime and was the principal offender, and should be punished for all the crimes he participated in or organized and directed . Given that Li voluntarily
[00:23:37] pleaded guilty and actively returned the stolen goods, he can be punished
[00:23:41] leniently according to law. Our court believes that the defendant Li
[00:23:44] conspired with others overseas with the intention of illegal possession
[00:23:48] .
[00:23:56] He defrauded others of property, and the amount was particularly huge, constituting the crime of fraud. At the same time, the defendant Li had honest confessions and other positive circumstances
[00:24:00] , and was re-sentenced according to law . Finally, our court
[00:24:04] sentenced Li to 11 years in prison for the crime of fraud and fined
[00:24:08] him 300,000 yuan. Currently , the judgment in this case has taken
[00:24:12] effect. The case of criminal suspect He suspected of assisting information network criminal
[00:24:16] activities is still under trial, and the criminal group involved .
[00:24:50] The situation of being defrauded is actually related to a certain mentality of his, which is
[00:24:53] thinking whether I can recover the money I was defrauded of for the first time
[00:24:57] . In fact, many victims of cases have such
[00:25:01] a mentality. After being defrauded , on the one hand, they feel
[00:25:05] guilty and remorseful, wondering if I could have been a little more careful
[00:25:09] at that time. On the other hand , they wonder if I can find a way
[00:25:13] to recover the money that was defrauded through
[00:25:16] some means.
[00:25:20] precisely saw the mentality of the victims, and Mr. Fan
[00:25:23] was also very cunning. First, he let the victims test the waters, saying that you can try
[00:25:27] to deposit 100 yuan. As a result , the victims really received
[00:25:31] 115 yuan, which indeed recovered some of the money
[00:25:35] . So the victims relaxed their vigilance even more , and finally
[00:25:39] fell into the trap set by the criminal
[00:25:42] , resulting in the second fraud . Teacher Qin, I noticed that the court
[00:25:46] finally ruled that Li Meng committed fraud. And another person
[00:26:32] played the role of helping the fraud group with technical
[00:26:36] setup, which means providing technical support. The content of this technical
[00:26:40] support was to adjust the domain name of a gambling
[00:26:44] website. He also knew that the nature of this website was illegal
[00:26:47] , but he did not know that the website was specifically used for
[00:26:51] telecom fraud activities . Therefore, He's subjective
[00:26:55] cognition of this matter should be a kind of generalized knowledge
[00:26:59] , not specific knowledge . If he knew that this case
[00:27:03] or the website behind it involved
[00:27:06] fraud, then if it became specific knowledge, he might also
[00:27:10] constitute an accomplice to the crime of fraud . Today's program shows us that the methods of telecom
[00:27:14] network fraud are constantly changing , and criminals even use
[00:27:18] the victims' eagerness to recover losses to commit secondary fraud
[00:27:22] . But no matter how the tricks change, the judiciary's crackdown on fraud
[00:27:26] crimes has never slackened , and the law's extension
[00:27:29] to criminals has never been weak. At the same time
[00:27:33] , self-prevention is always the best way to mitigate losses. If you raise your vigilance by one point
[00:27:37] , fraudsters will have one less opportunity to succeed. Only through the concerted efforts
[00:27:41] of all parties can telecom network fraud be eliminated
[00:27:45] . Thank you for watching today's program, and thank you, Teacher Qin
[00:27:49] , for participating in our discussion. You are welcome to continue to follow CCTV General Channel for other content
[00:27:52] that will be broadcast next. Goodbye
