According to Zhang Bo, President of the Second Criminal Tribunal of the Chongqing Higher People’s Court, while punishing telecommunications and network fraud crimes in accordance with the law, the Chongqing court also paid attention to source governance and end-of-line attacks, and carried out a full-scale attack on upstream and downstream related crimes, and resolutely cut them off. And destroy the industrial chain of illegal and criminal activities in the telecommunication network Since the beginning of this year, Chongqing courts have accepted 390 cases of telecommunications network fraud and related criminal cases with 1,704 people, and concluded 203 cases with 900 people.

“The city’s courts adhere to the criminal trial policy and philosophy of’emphasize the more important, despise the lesser’, and adhere to the main theme of strict law and strictness in criminal cases of telecommunications network fraud.” Zhang Bo said that for organizing and leading telecommunications network fraud criminal groups Principals, organizers and leaders of telecommunications network fraud criminal groups, and active participants who play a major role in joint crimes shall be severely sentenced in accordance with the law, and severe punishments shall be resolutely sentenced in accordance with the law if the crime is serious. Since the beginning of this year, the city’s courts have sentenced 80 telecommunications network fraud criminals to more than five years but less than 10 years in prison, and 89 telecommunications network fraud criminals have been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison. The severe sentence rate is 9.89%, which is higher than the overall level of criminal cases. About 2.3 percentage points higher.

At the same time, the Chongqing court has also increased its efforts to recover stolen goods from criminals swindling telecommunications networks. We shall resolutely pursue all the property obtained by criminals illegally without setting a time limit, and resolutely prevent criminals from obtaining illegal benefits through telecommunications network fraud.

There is no exemption from criminal punishment, and the application rate of probation is 24 percentage points lower than the overall level of criminal cases.

It is worth mentioning that while Chongqing courts severely punish telecommunications network fraud crimes in accordance with the law, they also deal with minor crimes, coercion, tricks to participate in telecommunications network fraud criminal activities, and secondary criminals, threatened accomplices, and have Criminals who surrendered, made meritorious services and other statutory leniency punishments, pleaded guilty and punished after returning to the case and actively returned the stolen goods are treated differently and punished with leniency, which fully reflects the appeal of criminal policies.

Zhang Bo said that Chongqing will carry out a three-year national anti-fraud campaign from 2021 to 2023. The Chongqing court will continue to severely punish telecommunication network fraud crimes in accordance with the law, with “strikes” to promote “prevention”, “strikes” to promote “management”, and “strikes” to promote “control”, forming a powerful deterrent to telecom network fraud criminals; Implement the policy of both leniency and strictness, and encourage criminals in telecommunications network fraud to surrender and reform. The Chongqing court will also analyze and study the law and characteristics of telecommunications network fraud crimes in conjunction with trial practice, and promote the strengthening of telecommunication network fraud crimes from the source.

Many criminals have focused on these groups who do not have a deep understanding of cryptocurrencies and launched various scams. Recently, South Korea has seen one of the largest cryptocurrency fraud cases.

According to CCTV Finance Channel, South Korean police recently disclosed that At least 70,000 people have been defrauded for a total of about 3.85 trillion won, or about 22.1 billion yuan, which is more than twice the total accumulated losses of cryptocurrency crimes in South Korea in the past four years, making it the largest cryptocurrency fraud case in South Korea in recent years.

Under the guise of cryptocurrency investment, this exchange has used short-term high yields such as 300% as bait from August last year to defraud investors of funds and use newcomers’ funds to pay for the return on investment of old users, which is typical Ponzi scheme.

Most of the deceived people are elderly people who are drawn into the game by acquaintances and who don’t know much about cryptocurrencies. They invested in retirement funds and even mortgaged their real estate. Some elderly people attracted a family of 12 people and invested more than 570 yuan Ten thousand yuan, there are still people who still believe that they can make money back, and are unwilling to report the crime to the police.

There are more and more hot scams in the cryptocurrency market

In addition, the domestic police have also detected multiple cases of cryptocurrency fraud recently. Among them, a man in Suzhou was a virtual currency investment enthusiast. He strayed into the virtual currency investment scam and joined a WeChat group of “professionals” with only 210,000 yuan. There is 2,000 yuan left and cannot be withdrawn yet.

According to the police, the reason for the high success rate of this kind of investment fraud is that, on the one hand, the fraud gangs target people with investment needs; on the other hand, the scam gangs have also spent a lot of energy and impersonating investors in the micro-group. Sending fake screenshots of making money in the website to set off the atmosphere and let the victims gradually relax their vigilance.

Bob has an experience in the United States. He said that there are no fewer phone scams in the United States than in China. When he was in the United States, he encountered several scam calls.

For example, one day, Bob received a phone call, and he was speaking in curry-scented English, asking if Bob’s computer would occasionally freeze.

At that time, the computer Xiaobai’s computer must have this kind of problem more or less after being used for a long time.

Bob is not a computer novice, and there is nothing wrong with the computer, but he realizes that something is wrong, and wants to see what kind of show operation this buddy wants to play, so he replied “yes” out of conscience.

The other side was very happy to hear this answer, and said, “Don’t wolli, I vill help U!” (Indian accent version, don’t worry, I will help you!)

Then he started to instruct Bob to go to a website to download a certain software. Blahblah said a lot, and finally asked “You understand?”. For this kind of low-level phishing software scam, Bob is naturally impossible to be fooled. He is very disappointed with the scams of the Indian buddies. So he decided to end the topic, and said to the other person “I am studying computer science, I can solve it by myself”, so angry that the other person could not speak, and hung up the phone. I praised Bob’s anti-fraud awareness. He shook his head humbly and said, mainly because the guy’s Indian accent made him vigilant. After all, the white people didn’t bother to do this. Black people generally can’t do this. . . In fact, Bob’s experience can reflect to a certain extent how rampant phone fraud cases are in the United States. According to a survey conducted by an app called Truecaller, phone fraud in the United States has become more and more serious in recent years. In 2020 alone, 56 million Americans were deceived, with a total loss of US$19.7 billion. What is the concept of 56 million people? They account for about 22% of the entire population of the United States, and these are the ones who have been defrauded of money. According to the survey, 30% of people in the U.S. have been scammed by phone scams, and 17% of them have been “scammed several times” . . . Everyone knows that bad reviewers are professionally trained. They usually don’t laugh when they comment on such serious things, unless they can’t help it. So when I saw this data, everyone was stupid. This American’s heart is too big, right? Is it really a per capita wealth boy? According to a data reported by the “New York Times”, phone fraud from India is the main force. The entire Indian phone scam industry, The annual “output value” is as high as 28 billion U.S. dollars, and about 1.2 million people are engaged in phone fraud. At the end of 2020, the police took down a call center in New Delhi, India. These 50 people alone defrauded more than 14 million U.S. dollars in the United States. On the official website of the U.S. Department of Justice, you can also read about India phoneThere are people in India working on fraud cases as early as 2013, and it has a long history. So the question is, why is it in India? phoneCan fraud develop into such a huge industry? For this matter, the major Western companies are still to be blamed. As we all know, India is a country with a large population, and it is also a populous country with English as one of its official languages. Large companies such as Google and Microsoft have money, but the cost of recruiting people as customer service in their own country is too high, so they set their sights on India, which is not so rich but has a lot of people. Many large companies have set up manual customer service call centers in India, and adopted the method of “training on duty” to correct their accents and grammatical habits. This kind of high-end foreign company outsourcing work is a good way out for many poor Indians. After all, it has a very low threshold. They are all Indians. Who doesn’t speak a few English anymore? As a result, a large number of people have received induction training, and manual customer service has even become a dream job for many people. Picture source: @正解局▼ But training belongs to training. After all, there are only a few positions. Those who have received training but can’t go to work think of the crooked way of phone fraud, and this way of making money is much faster than being a customer service. In addition, India has a large population and fierce competition for employment. Every year, educational institutions train a large number of software engineers, but only 20% of them can find decent jobs. Some of the remaining people provide “technical support” for phone fraud, such as using crawler software to obtain personal information of victims, and so on. In addition to labor and technology, India phoneScams are the same as phone scams in Southeast Asia. They use different scams based on the characteristics of the American population. For example, a refund scam specifically for the elderly tells them that there is a refund available, but there is a problem with the bank transfer system. Then he proposed that he needed to remotely connect and manipulate the elderly’s computer to log in to the online bank account and pretend to transfer money to the elderly. In fact, the displayed amount was changed by modifying the front-end code of the web page. Then told the old man that they accidentally transferred too much money and needed the old man to transfer the money back to carry out a wave of empty glove white wolf. For those old people who don’t understand the code, it’s easy to believe them and get cheated of money. There is a computer technical support scam (Bob has encountered that kind),Use phishing websites to induce others to download Trojan horse programs and steal bank account passwords. Or you may use hackers to hack into the victim’s computer to blackmail, and wait for your pornographic photos to be seen on the entire network without paying. Targeting young people, they will use other scams, such as the threat of drug dealing. Since a large number of young people in the United States have been exposed to drugs such as marijuana, these scammers will pretend to be employees of the US Drug Enforcement Administration and claim to have found his bank account on the side of the drug cartel. At the same time, the victim will be told his real address, making the victim panic ▼ Then tell the victim to wait for someone to come and go to jail, unless you pay the money to get acquitted. Faced with such a serious accusation, these young people naturally couldn’t grasp it, and paid on the spot before thinking about it. Some of these scams are even aimed at immigrants who have just arrived in the United States. Scammers will call these new immigrants to pretend that they are from the tax bureau, saying that they are tax evasion and tax evasion. The penalties for tax evasion in the United States are very serious. The key is that there are many miscellaneous taxes. Many newcomers do not know whether they have missed the payment, so they are deceived by scammers. Recently, due to the epidemic, there were not enough hospital beds and oxygen inhalers in the United States. India also invented a scam to sell oxygen cylinders. The money was paid before the goods. The victims disappeared as soon as the money was transferred, deceiving many people. The entire Twitter is that people are reporting scams related to the epidemic. This is a fire extinguisher changed to an oxygen tank ▼ In fact, these scams have flaws. For example, some scammers even ask victims to pay “fines” through Apple Google App Store gift cards, Bitcoin, etc., which is very problematic at first glance. However, the key to all scams is to fascinate the “authorities.” From the perspective of God, we naturally think that such scams are not good, but there is no way to be sure that we will not be fooled in the position of the victim. For example, a colleague in our editorial department was cheated of 40,000 yuan after a hangover one day. Since India phoneScams are so prevalent in the United States, why don’t the U.S. officials carry out a wave of cleanup? Because transnational law enforcement is quite difficult. The nature of this matter is that the Indians are defrauding people, and the Indian side needs to cooperate in arresting people, the deceived are Americans, and the victims in the United States need to file a lawsuit. When those Indians are caught, the local courts will need evidence to sentence them, such as the transfer records of victims in the United States, and it cannot be a casual victim. It must be a victim of scams by those caught. This directly led to the difficulty of the police on both sides wanting to do things, and the fact that they didn’t pay enough attention to them, all of them were slowing down. Officials did not act, but some civil forces in the United States launched a resistance. One of the most famous is Jim Browning, the owner of the tubing UP. He is a highly skilled hacker who has uploaded a lot of content related to overseas scams he discovered on YouTube since seven years ago. In recent years, due to the increasing number of phone scams in India, he also focused his attention on this. He once hacked into the computer camera of an Indian fraud call center and recorded the entire process of the fraudster’s crimes. According to the IP address of this computer, he also located the location of this studio, which is located in Kolkata, India, and even found the specific building. In addition, he is also very phoneThe scammer conducted a wave of “returning to the other side” and made a video, pretending to be deceived, and allowing the scammer to connect with him remotely. Then show the scammer the real identity photos of the scammer he collected early, such as his working place. Ask the scammer if he knows this computer, and is it familiar or not? ▼ And the tools he usually uses. He also asked some specific information about the photos, such as where he took these photos, and found that the scammer was still lying, saying that he took the photos on the company computer. Jim: You are taking pictures of your laptop screen. Liar: Ah this. . . %^&$, yes, yes. (Frustrated)▼ Jim ruthlessly debunked the fact that he took the photo in his own home and told him that the photo was positioned, which meant that the home address of the scammer had been exposed. The liar immediately panicked, turned off the photo on the spot, and cut off the call. Jim: You are scamming in your own home, and you have been lying just now. Liar: Sir, I don’t have one. . . ▼ I can only say that this video of Jim is really refreshing after watching, and the old Murong has recovered! Jim has a lot of Indian scammers realInformation, even the ID cards of many people are available. He sometimes cooperates with other tubing UP (Such as Scammer Payback), To implement his own justice in a “Robin Hood” way. For example, they pretend to be deceived, make a remote connection with the liar, and then use the goose on the screen to pick up the liar’s ID card bit by bit in front of the liar. Scammer Payback will also broadcast live “fishing” scammers, playing tricks on scammers, and it makes people feel very happy. UP owners who focus on anti-fraud, such as Jim Browning and Scammer Payback, have many fans on YouTube, and each video has at least several million views. People who have seen these videos are naturally lucky, and they have a high probability of avoiding phone fraud. But more people don’t know this, and they are still being fooled by phone scams. With the development of the Internet, more and more gray industries are showing a “regional” distribution characteristic, such as the telephone fraud industry in Southeast Asia and India. Criminals use the convenience of the Internet to commit crimes across borders to avoid risks and cheat on a global scale. Isn’t that the law should also keep pace with the times and introduce a related international regulation to crack down on these related scams?

Amazon’s distribution center in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, April 25, 2020. Documentary photo: AFP/VNA The appeal comes after the LuxLeaks scandal exposed in 2014 revealed 500 tax agreements between Luxembourg and more than 350 international businesses, including many billion-dollar tax frauds and involving corporations. such as Apple, IKEA, Pepsi… These corporations have had tacit agreements with the tax authorities of Luxembourg to enjoy lower tax rates than prescribed. In the case of Amazon, in 2017 European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager accused Luxembourg of having an illegal arrangement with the online commerce giant to pay less tax than other businesses. other profession. Accordingly, Luxembourg has offered a preferential tax policy for Amazon, helping nearly three-quarters of the company’s profits not be taxed. At the heart of the EU’s allegations is Amazon’s violation of the so-called “market price principle”, which ensures that transactions between subsidiaries are based on prices that other independent companies in the market would charge. must return. At the time of the EU case, Amazon said it had not received any special treatment from Luxembourg, and insisted it had paid taxes in full in accordance with both Luxembourg and international tax law. However, analysts are not too optimistic about the ability of the EU’s requirements to be upheld. Less than a year ago, iPhone maker Apple won a spectacular victory in this same court against the European Commission’s request that Apple pay 13 billion euros in taxes to Ireland in 2016. But whether it wins or loses in the appeal, the European Commission will likely emphasize its goal of targeting corporate profits. The agency is also developing new rules to close tax loopholes, especially for tech giants. In recent weeks, the US side has gradually embraced the idea of ​​a global minimum corporate tax. Negotiations on cross-border corporate tax are underway at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). If successful, this tax policy will make special transactions for multinational companies a thing of the past.
