Recently, a man in Shizhu County, Chongqing, not only fell into a beauty trap and was attracted to a coffee shop to spend more than 10,000 yuan, but his bank card was copied and stolen for more than 300,000 yuan. On October 18, a reporter from the Chongqing Times learned from the Chongqing Shizhu police that the police had arrested 15 suspects involved in the case.

Spend more than ten thousand yuan in the coffee shop

In August this year, Cui, a citizen of Shizhu County, met a girl named "Xiaoyu" through social software, and the two chatted happily online. "Xiaoyu" made an appointment with Cui, and Cui readily agreed. The two agreed to meet at a coffee shop in Langqing Square, Guanyinqiao, Jiangbei District, Chongqing.

Cui and "Xiaoyu" came to the coffee shop as promised. Cui's eyes lit up, and his good friend "Xiaoyu", whom he met online, was very beautiful and young. The two sat in the coffee shop, chatting even more speculatively.

During the dinner, "Xiaoyu" proposed to order a bottle of red wine, chatted and drank, and Cui agreed to the suggestion, so he ordered a bottle of red wine and other snacks with a price tag of more than 2000 yuan. Cui was petrified when he checked out, although he did not order much, but he consumed more than 10,000 yuan. Although Cui has doubts, but still due to face-saving, to check out. However, Cui didn't have much cash with him, so he swiped his card in the store and settled the bill.

The bank card was stolen for 300000 yuan.

It's far from over. After Cui returned to Shizhu County, he received bank reminder messages one after another, saying that the amount in the bank card had been withdrawn more than 300,000 yuan one after another.

Cui recalled that when he met a beautiful woman in a coffee shop in Jiangbei, he swiped the bank card. He suspected that someone else copied his bank card information and then swiped it. Cui hurriedly reported the case to the Shizhu police.

After receiving the call, the criminal investigation brigade of the Shizhu County Public Security Bureau immediately launched an investigation. The police found that Cui's "cloned" bank card had been cashed and consumed in Guangdong, Chongqing and other places. During this period, some people had inquired about the balance of Cui's bank card through bank customer service.

Through the access to video surveillance, the suspect Deng was quickly identified. According to the analysis of the clues obtained by the police, it is very likely that the case was committed by a gang. The police conducted a touch platoon investigation around Deng, and sure enough, the police investigation found that there were 14 accomplices around Deng.

Police arrested 15 suspects

Through careful investigation, the special police of the Shizhu police finally found out the activity track of this criminal gang. After determining the daily whereabouts of Deng and other gangs, the police immediately went to the main urban area of Chongqing to arrest the fraud gang headed by Deng. The police handling the case were divided into multiple channels and arrested at the same time, successfully arresting all 15 suspects in the main urban area. The members of this criminal gang are all unemployed youths in their 20s.

According to the suspect Deng, the suspects are from Guangdong, Chongqing, Sichuan and other places, including three female members.

Among them, the female members are responsible for using the "beauty trap" way, through social chat tools, to lure strange netizens to the shop set up by nearby gang members to "chat" consumption. During the chat, the female suspect would order some drinks and snacks, and when the victim checked out, she knew that she had fallen into the trap of high-priced consumption. Not only that, if the victim pays by card, the suspect also takes the opportunity to copy the victim's bank card information, and then copy the victim's bank card to cash out.

At present, the preliminary investigation of the Shizhu police has learned that this criminal gang has committed a number of crimes, involving a total amount of more than 500,000 yuan. Suspect Deng and others have been taken compulsory measures by the Shizhu police in accordance with the law, and the case is under further investigation.

Shizhu police reminded that when making friends online, when the other party offered to meet him, they must be vigilant, and when they encounter unreasonably high consumption, they should resolutely refuse and report to the police. At the same time, when paying by card in public places, the bank card must not leave its own line of sight. The cardholder had better open a bank text message to remind the service. Once he discovers the abnormal change of the funds in the card, he can immediately request the bank to freeze the account, reduce the loss and call the police in time.
