The websites and APPs of "one yuan points" or "one yuan treasure" often appear in the public's field of vision. On the surface, they are selling physical products. Actually, they are shooting good gambling behaviors for sales. The operation of the "draw fraud, and the result of the winning prize through the background control of the consumer, resulting in zero chance of winning the award of consumers. Recently, the Hangzhou Yuhang Police broke off a guise of the lottery with an APP to participate in the lottery through accurate research and meticulous investigation, and through background control of the winning results, thereby implementing illegal criminal gangs.

On June 12 this year, Mr. Jiang (pseudonym) went to the Yuhang Wuchang Police Station to report to the police saying that he felt deceived when playing a lottery game in an app. Mr. Jiang told the police that on May 22, he downloaded an APP similar to "One yuan purchase". After registering the account, he purchased virtual jade exchange points through the app and used points to participate in the Apple mobile phone and Apple computer with points. , Golden Jewelry and other awards games, Mr. Jiang was very exciting. He spent more than 9,000 yuan to buy jade and exchanged for points to participate in the lottery. After asking Mr. Jiang, he knew that the jade purchased in the APP did not have the delivery situation, just to redeem points for the lottery. At the same time, the drawing prizes could be repurchased through the APP channel. Mr. thought the APP had the act of controlling the winning results, so he called the police.

After receiving the report, the police of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Yuhang District Public Security Branch immediately paid attention to the "Play and Play" APP platform. After a preliminary investigation, the APP is on the surface is a shopping platform, but in fact, high -prizes are used as bait to induce customers to continuously recharge to buy goods and participate in the "one -dollar" gambling platform for the lottery. During the lottery, the winning prizes of large prizes were artificially controlled, and the probability of winning the customer's winning prize was zero. Many victims were fun at the beginning, and over time, they could not extricate themselves. Obviously, the platform is suspected of fraud. On June 12, 2022, our bureau was investigated to investigate the case.

Police further investigations found that the number of people registered on the platform has reached more than 600, and members are distributed throughout the country. The number of people is still increasing. Tens of thousands of yuan. In order to prevent more victims from being deceived in time, the police secretly carried out analysis and judgment on manipulating members of the APP fraud gang, and competing for time with scammers. After the survey of the day and night, the organizational structure, operation mode, crime method, and related personnel were settled in the organizational structure, operation mode, crime method, and related personnel involved in the daily.

On July 1, more than 40 hard -working police forces including the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the Yuhang Police Station, and the Zhongtai Police Station of the Public Security Bureau of Yuhang District were divided into Jiangsu, Sichuan and other places for arrests. Seven major criminal suspects such as a certain criminal suspect seized several computers and mobile phones on the spot. After investigation, the suspect Cao, 25 years old, from Jiangsu. Cao explained that in October 2021, he found Yu Mou and Zhao, and proposed to make money to develop a shopping raffle app together. Yu Mou and Zhao happily agreed, and then Cao Mou asked the technicians to develop this app and put it into marketing in April 2022.

Cao and others explained that the APP shopping platform launched more than 80 types of products in nine categories, but in fact these products and prizes are fictional. In order to seduce consumers to participate, the platform has set up gaming -like gaming methods, that is, buying products can be exchanged for points for different proportion. According to the points size, the probability of winning the prize is to participate in the drawing of Apple mobile phones, Apple computers, gold jewelry and other awards. In order to win the "big prize", most customers will constantly recharge to buy goods in exchange for points, but the platform secretly sets up a designated merchant prize, and the probability of the customer's award is zero. In order to stimulate customers to continue "consumption", they occasionally "release" the false information of a very small number of members. At the same time, the "small prize" won by the customer lottery can continue to exchange for equal points to participate in the new round of draws again until the points are completed. Since April this year, Cao and others have illegally profitable more than 300,000 yuan through the scams carefully set. Fortunately, the police seized in time to stop the number of victims and the amount of deceived continued to expand.

At present, 7 suspects such as Cao Mou have been criminally detained by the Yuhang District Public Security Branch in accordance with the law, and the case is under further review.
