Two Men in Yunnan Province Arrested for Defrauding‍ Electronic Fraudsters

Two men in Yunnan province recently encountered electronic fraud. They came ⁤up with the idea​ of ​​”playing” and set up a trap to cheat members of the electronic fraud group‌ of 1,800 yuan⁣ (RMB, the same below).

Mainland ‍media reported that the Public Security Bureau of Yiliang⁤ County, Yunnan Province stated that residents of Zhou and Yuan in the area are under investigation for suspected fraud. The case said Zhou⁢ was unemployed and had no income at⁣ home for a long time.

The Unlikely Trap

One day, Zhou ‌made an appointment⁣ with ‌his friend ‌Yuan to apply for a passport. They both found that there were ⁢messages about highly paid personnel in ​the‌ group, ‌and they contacted each other to find out. The ‌other party‌ said the job was ⁢for the company’s⁤ senior manager, with an​ annual salary of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, but he was required to work⁣ overseas.

Pretend ⁢to Agree to Work Abroad but​ Ask for Travel Expenses

At that time, Zhou realized that this statement was⁢ a common ⁣fraud trick, and came up with the idea of ​​”having some fun” with the other party, so he pretended to agree to the other party’s conditions.⁢ Zhou said he also wanted to bring a friend there and asked ⁢for travel expenses⁢ based ⁤on ⁢accommodation and ⁤meals, and managed to cheat foreign telecommunications fraudsters of 1,800 yuan.

Consequences of Their Actions

After the police heard about the incident, they detained Zhou⁤ and Yuan ⁣for 7 and​ 5‌ days respectively, and confiscated their illegal income. Although Zhou and Yuan‌ tricked ‌electronic fraudsters​ and made people “highly addictive“, their essence was still the act of cheating others out of their money through illegal means.
