PANews reported on May 13th that according to Guangming Net, Mr. Tang recently reported to the North Cai Police Station that he received a COD express message for 900 yuan. When he contacted the other party to cancel, he was asked to provide bank card information. After clicking the link and entering the relevant information, his bank account was deducted by over 100,000 yuan, and he realized he had been scammed. After receiving the report, the Pudong Public Security Bureau's Anti-Fraud Center, together with the Sanlin Public Security Bureau and North Cai Police Station, formed a special task force to investigate. Through their efforts, they initially identified a criminal gang led by Miao and Wang, who used labor recruitment as a cover to recruit people to register virtual currency wallets for money laundering.

On April 22-23, the police launched a "net-closing operation" and arrested 11 criminal suspects in Qingpu District, Shanghai, successfully destroying the gang. After interrogation, Miao and Wang confessed that the gang recruited people to provide mobile phone registrations for virtual currency wallet accounts, which were then sold to overseas fraud groups through overseas chat tools. Currently, Miao and Wang have been criminally detained according to law, and Sheng and five others have been subjected to criminal coercive measures. The case is being further investigated, and part of the defrauded funds have been frozen and recovered.
