Eleven people in Sichuan were deceived and smuggled out of the country. The principal offender was sentenced to two years in prison.

　　Zhongxin. com, Chengdu, April 23 (Wu Pinghua, Huang Jing) Recently, the Airport Economic Zone Branch of Ziyang Public Security Bureau in Sichuan cracked a case in which 11 people sneaked across the national border. At present, the principal offender Gan was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment and the rest were sentenced to criminal detention ranging from three to six months.

　　In the early morning, cross the mountain and walk for 10 hours to North Myanmar.

　　Back in 2020, a friend found Xiaoqiu (a pseudonym), claiming that there was an opportunity to "make big money" in northern Myanmar. Not only could he stay in a high-end hotel, but he also worked easily, and his monthly income could reach more than 10,000 yuan, including food and shelter. "At that time, my wife happened to be pregnant, and there were many places to use money. I agreed without much thought."

　　In April 2020, under the leadership of Gan, Xiaoqiu and his party flew from Chengdu to Lancang County, Yunnan Province, then arrived in Menglian Dai Lahu and Wa Autonomous County by bus and stayed in a hotel.

　　"After living for about two days, Gan received a phone call saying that it was arranged there." Then several people checked out and took a van to an unknown small village near the border. "It may have been open for more than an hour at that time. By the time I got there, almost 100 people had gathered at the scene." Xiaoqiu recalled.

　　According to the data, Menglian County is located in the southwest of Yunnan Province, connected with Myanmar in the west and south, with a border of 133.399 kilometers, which is an important gateway to Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar and Thailand.

　　Luo Lei, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Airport Economic Zone Branch of Ziyang Public Security Bureau, was one of the policemen who detected the case. He mentioned that in order to avoid the border inspection, this group chose to walk the mountain road in the middle of the night to steal the border.

　　Xiaoqiu said that five men found Xiaoqiu and others, claiming to be "guides" to northern Myanmar, and organized personnel to start in batches. "When we set off, it was around 11 pm. At that time, we were told that it would only take half an hour to get there. As a result, we went further and further and never arrived."

　　That night, this team of more than 10 people walked in the dense forest in the dark, climbing up and down the hill and crossing the river all the way, which had already exceeded the initial half an hour, which made Xiaoqiu a little scared. "No lights are allowed, strangers are unfamiliar, and once there is an accident or death, no one is in charge."

　　After more than 10 hours of trembling, Xiaoqiu and his party finally arrived in Bangkang, the capital of the Wa State in Myanmar.

　　Someone at the scene is armed with a gun to guard "making big money", which is actually telecom fraud.

　　After arriving at the "work site", Xiaoqiu found that the so-called "high-class hotel" is actually a courtyard similar to a quadrangle. The courtyard wall is very high and covered with barbed wire, and the gate is specially guarded by guns. The work place is a shed built in the courtyard dam. Several tables are pieced together, and the boss will send a special mobile phone to contact the "customers".

　　On the first day of going in, Xiaoqiu regretted that there were 8 people crowded in a small room. The local temperature was hot and the room had no air conditioning. "I can’t sleep well every night, and I can’t leave if I want to."

　　"The main job of that meeting is to find someone to stock." Xiaoqiu said that he mainly used chat software to pull people into stocks, and pulled people in various QQ groups, WeChat groups and forums. After pulling, some people specially docked.

　　The police investigation found that the gang had a clear division of labor. The "boss" distributed mobile phones and social software specially used for fraud to members, and prepared special fraud books.

　　What Xiaoqiu didn’t expect was that the so-called stock trading software was actually very mysterious. Not only the ups and downs could be controlled in the background, but even if money was made, there was no way to withdraw it. "I will call you to continue to charge money, and you can only withdraw money after the funds reach a certain amount. At this time, you can either charge money or continue to stock, but in either case, the funds in your account will be lost in the end."

　　At that time, Xiaoqiu’s salary composition was a basic salary of 5,000 yuan, and every time he completed a fraud, he could get 5%— 15% commission, "the basic salary is only available in the first month, and the commission will be taken away by 10%— 15%。”

　　After two months, due to poor performance, Xiaoqiu and others were "sold" to a gambling company, and their main job was to attract people.

　　"The so-called gambling is actually telecom fraud." Luo Lei, who has many years of experience in handling cases in northern Myanmar, said that gambling companies usually make a web page or APP, and participants can choose to bet. The odds of each type are different. If you guess, you will get the corresponding bonus. "Generally, you will win some money at the beginning. As the bet gets bigger and bigger, the background will artificially control the results."

　　The person involved in leaving to pay the "ransom" has been arrested.

　　After working in a gambling company for more than two months, Xiaoqiu proposed to return to China because his wife was about to give birth. "I told me at the time that I could go back, but I had to lose money."

　　Xiaoqiu said that if you want to get out, you have to pay not only the smuggling fee, air ticket fee and bus fare, but also the food and shelter promised before, and you have to charge separately. One person will cost about 40,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan. After hearing such a reply, Xiaoqiu, who was in a foreign country, had no money in his pocket, and there was no way. He found Gan to discuss with the people of the gambling company and finally promised to return to China to deal with the relevant matters before he could be exempted from the compensation fee. "The fare I went back was all for my family to turn around."

　　In April 2021, Xiaoqiu was arrested and brought to justice by the public security organs. On the same day, the principal offender Gan and others were also arrested.

　　After a public hearing by the Yanjiang District People’s Court, Gan was sentenced to 2 years in prison and fined 10,000 yuan for organizing others to cross the border. Xiaoqiu and others were sentenced to criminal detention ranging from 3 months to 6 months and fined from 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan for the crime of crossing the border.

　　The police reminded that the northern part of Myanmar is not a paradise for "gold rush". In recent years, telecommunication network fraud crimes have been on the rise. With the country’s heavy blow to telecommunication fraud, domestic fraud gangs have moved abroad, especially in northern Myanmar. Because criminal gangs need a large number of "workers" who commit fraud, they attract or directly deceive them with "high-paying recruitment" advertisements. Please be vigilant, go out to work through formal and legal channels, and go through legal entry and exit procedures in accordance with the law to guard against being deceived.
