PANews reported on November 16 that according to the Huzhu Public Security WeChat account, the Xining Public Security Bureau has cracked down on the "pretending to be a grandson" type of telecommunications network fraud routine. Anti-fraud police have found that in this type of telecommunications network fraud, the fraudsters pretend to be "grandsons" and "grandsons' classmates", using the excuses of "grandsons driving in a car accident", "grandsons drinking and getting into trouble", "needing emergency treatment", etc., to call the elderly at home, and on the grounds that "grandsons' parents are busy and cannot answer the phone" and "fear of parents scolding and worrying", they ask the elderly to keep it secret from their family members and then remit money, and then arrange for "grandsons' classmates" to come to the door to collect the money.
The police conducted an in-depth investigation and found that the fraud gang arranged door-to-door cash withdrawals, money transfers, and transfers without coupons or cards, with multiple suspects involved. The fraudulent money was eventually converted into virtual currency online and illegally transferred. At present, the Chengxi Public Security Bureau of Xining Public Security Bureau has successively arrested 12 criminal suspects in many places inside and outside the province, and the case is being further handled.
