Typical case
Counterfeit water purifier filter elements are two-thirds cheaper than genuine ones.
In April this year, Foshan police received a report from the masses that they bought counterfeit beautiful water purifier equipment through Taobao shop. According to this, Foshan police unearthed a serious criminal gang headed by Li Momin, involving Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Henan and other provinces suspected of producing, manufacturing and selling counterfeit "Midea" water purifier filter products, and the provincial public security department listed it as "Hurricane 90" project.
The police investigating the case said that members of the gang had worked in a water purifier company before and had experience in producing and selling water purifiers. They set up a shop online to sell, wholesale and retail. The filter element of the water purifier sold is two-thirds cheaper than the genuine one, while the actual manufacturing cost is lower, only a dozen yuan. After inspection by relevant departments, the counterfeit water purifier filter element manufactured by the gang can not achieve the filtering effect at all.
In order to achieve the purpose of confusing the fake with the real, the gang also set up a QR code on the product for consumers to verify. According to the police investigating the case, part of the verification QR code used by the gang is to copy the real code that has been scanned many times, and part of it is a fake code made by itself. After scanning, it is a fake website link made by the gang itself.
In September, under the organization and command of the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Provincial Public Security Department, Foshan Public Security Bureau, together with public security organs in Zhejiang, Guangxi, Shanghai and other four provinces and six cities, launched a unified network-closing operation, destroying 9 dens producing and selling counterfeit "Midea" trademark water purifiers, arresting 85 criminal suspects such as Li Momin on the spot, destroying 9 counterfeit production lines, and detaining about 45,000 finished and semi-finished filters. The total value of the cases involved was about 150 million yuan.
Collect a bank card and sell one for 3000 yuan in 500 yuan.
At the beginning of April 2019, Jiangmen police found clues that Deng Moumou and others were suspected of stealing, buying and illegally providing credit card information, and quickly set up a task force to carry out investigation. At the same time, according to the Zhongshan police’s investigation on the crime of suspected bulk trading of corporate accounts and bank cards, the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Provincial Public Security Department found that the two cases were related, and decided to crack down on the crime of suspected bulk trading of corporate accounts and bank cards for the whole chain. The case was listed as "Hurricane No.83" and illegally provided credit card information for investigation.
According to the police handling the case, these criminal gangs are mainly intermediaries for buying and selling bank cards. They collect personal and company bank cards from illegal channels and then sell them to criminal gangs downstream, which are used to open illegal enterprises, falsely invoice, transfer money from underground banks and other crimes, forming a gray industrial chain of collecting, handling, selling and using cards. The first-hand collection price is about one from 300 yuan to 500 yuan, mainly corporate bank cards, and then they are sold at a price of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, or even 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.
In mid-July, under the organization and coordination of the Economic Investigation Bureau of the provincial office, Jiangmen and Zhongshan police launched a unified network-closing operation, successfully destroying 9 dens suspected of illegally providing credit card information, destroying 9 criminal gangs, arresting 70 suspects, and seizing a large number of bank cards (sets), online banking keys and other items.
