Jimu Journalist Xiao Mingyuan Zhao Delong

On August 5th, Jimu Journalists learned from the Shanghai Public Security Bureau that eight fraud gangs carried out "increased powder" as a bait to implement fraud, and the yak bone powder with cost 50 to 150 yuan was sold to consumers at a price of 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. The funds involved in the case reached 1 million yuan. A few days ago, the Shanghai police went to the three provinces to capture 60 personnel involved, and the case was under further trial.

On December 16, 2021, Ms. Wang, a citizen of Shanghai, reported to Du Xing, the Minhang Public Security Bureau, and said that she added the so -called customer service WeChat through the increased powder advertising information of a well -known website. The other party claims to be an employee of a biomedical technology limited liability company in Wuhan and is responsible for sales increase powder, claiming that it can provide height services through the "customized increase plan".

In the link of the advertisement, Miss Wang saw the positive experience of many users. Some people said: "It depends on the help of the teacher! I finally grew to 175, the teacher is very professional, too powerful." It was a batch to increase the powder, but she found that the product found that the product was suspected to have no products. After getting in touch with relevant companies, it was found that the company did not sell this product. Miss Wang, who felt strange, chose to report the case immediately.

In the investigation, the police found that the so -called customer service staff added by Miss Wang was actually a group of people responsible for promoting "heights" on various network platforms. The gang appeared to be customer service on the surface and was essentially responsible for "drainage". Another gang will pretend to be a "higher mentor" for regular pharmaceutical companies to further flicker the victims to buy products in a fixed way. After inquiry about relevant departments, there are no high -function pharmaceutical products on the market. The above -mentioned seemingly consumer complaint is hidden in a black -gray industry chain.

The Minhang Public Security Criminal Investigation Division quickly established a task force. On July 18 this year, the project component went to the three -place operation of the three places in Guangzhou, Yichun, Jiangxi, and Nanchang, Jiangxi. The main members of the six downstream scam gangs, arrested the main members of the "drainage" gang headed by Cao, and the main members of the supply gang headed by Qin Moumou.

After investigation, eight criminal gangs all commit crimes in the form of "upstream supply, midstream promotion, and downwalk". The midstream gang promoted the "increased powder" information through various websites. After the victim adds social media accounts in advertising, the suspect pretended to be a regular pharmaceutical company to "increase" mentors to seduce the victims to buy "increased powder". After being identified by professional institutions, the content of the so -called "increased powder" contains lower protein and calcium components than the content of daily foods such as dried tofu and broad beans. According to the confession of the criminal suspects of the upstream gang, most of the yak bone powder used, and the cost of 50 to 150 yuan costs is usually sold to consumers at the price of 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. As of now, the funds involved have reached 1 million yuan.

At present, 47 people and 47 people and other 47 people have been taken criminal measures by Minhang Police for suspected fraud, and the case is under further trial.
