[Beijing Police Solve Cross-Border Telecom Fraud Case: Impersonating Police to Coerce International Students into Transferring Funds and Converting to U-Coins, Freezing 780,000 Yuan in Involved Funds]
Beijing Shijingshan police recently intercepted a new type of cross-border telecom fraud case, freezing 780,000 yuan in involved funds and returning it to the victims. In the case, Mr. Liu, 53, who was accompanying his child abroad for studies, received a scam call from overseas. The fraudsters impersonated domestic police, fabricating false allegations of money laundering and other crimes, and coerced him into urgently requesting money transfers from his family in China. The funds were subsequently transferred to the accounts of two other Chinese international students abroad. Upon investigation, it was found that these three individuals were all victims of the same fraud ring, exhibiting the characteristics of "one case, multiple scams, with victims used as money laundering tools for each other." The fraudsters first transferred funds into the accounts of some victims and then coerced them into converting the money into U-Coins to assist in transferring the funds, making the operation highly concealed and the cross-border chain complex. Through patient persuasion, the police successfully "awakened" the victims, preventing further losses.
