CCTV News:In recent years, telecommunication network fraud has become a serious social problem. In the crime of fraud, mobile phone cards and bank cards are important tools for committing crimes, so the action of "breaking cards" is also a key link to stop telecommunication network fraud. Recently, the police in Jingzhou, Hubei successfully destroyed a bank card trafficking gang formed by relatives and friends.

In October, 2020, Hubei police found in the special campaign against telecom fraud that 352 bank cards involved pointed to the same person — — Hubei Shishou nationality man Fu Mou.

Instructor of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Shishou Public Security Bureau Liu Chuanhai:We were also very shocked at that time. If all these cards flowed to the society, how much property losses would be caused to the people.

After research, the special police locked Fu in a market activity in Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, and immediately rushed to Shunde overnight. This is the largest bazaar in the local area, and hundreds of vendors come in and out, which brings great challenges to the investigation work. The police wear casual clothes and repeatedly grope in the market.

Li Yi, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Shishou City Public Security Bureau:At that time, many people wore masks because of the epidemic. After two or three hours of searching in the morning, Fu was not found. Later, the battalion chief reported that he found a middle-aged man with messy hair and a full face of beard (and Fu Mou) somewhat similar.

The investigator quietly approached and called Fu’s name. At the moment when Fu subconsciously promised, the police arrested him in one fell swoop.

In the following investigation, the police found that there were more than 300 bank cards under Fu’s name. After verification, from 2012 to 2016, Fu and his relatives and friends handled a total of 17,438 bank cards, of which 9,207 were paid by a certain person. According to the criminal suspect Fu, these bank cards were successively issued from a number of banks when he was working in Guangdong in the early years.

The criminal suspect Fu Mou:How many cards are opened at this outlet, and then another outlet, and by changing cards, the old cards are changed to new cards at most 20 at a time, usually 5. These cards have been accumulated over several years.

Paying a bank card only costs 5 yuan money. When he changed hands, he sold these cards to online Wang Mokai at the price of one in 10 yuan, earning tens of thousands of dollars a year. When he found that selling cards could easily make money, Fu brought in his wife and two other relatives and formed a family card-opening group to sell bank cards. The police investigation confirmed that the cards sold finally reached the hands of a money laundering and withdrawal gang in Shantou, Guangdong Province, and were used to commit telecom fraud.
