A 37-year-old woman accidentally fell into an online job-seeking scam. The swindler falsely claimed that her job was responsible for helping mainlanders to buy valuables, and then deceived the victim into providing personal information and borrowing money from a financial institution, and deducted about her property, defrauding about 569 million.
After the female victim called the police, the police found that the female victim had borrowed money with a false income certificate provided by a fraudster, so she was arrested for "conspiracy to defraud".
The police received a report from a 37-year-old local woman on Monday (20th), saying that she saw a post on social media on March 23 to recruit a clerk, and then contacted two swindlers based on the information in the post. The victim is required to provide his ID card, bank account, credit report and other information to go through the on-boarding procedures.
Afterwards, the victim's bank account received 50,000 yuan, and the fraudster instructed the victim to transfer the money to two designated accounts, claiming that a 10% commission would be provided.
From April to May this year, the fraudsters arranged for the victim to go to three banks and financial companies to apply for a personal loan of about 1.69 million yuan with false income certificates.
The victim was also tricked into adding mortgage on the property he lived in, obtaining a loan of 4 million yuan, and transferring all the money to 6 designated accounts as required by the fraudster.
The victim did not receive any commission afterwards, and he suspected that he had been deceived and called the police.
The case was classified as "obtaining property by deception" and was handed over to the Second Team of the Eastern District Crime Squad for follow-up.
After investigation, officers found that the woman, knowing that the income certificate handed to her by the fraudsters was false, still applied for a loan from the relevant financial institution.
The woman was arrested on suspicion of "conspiracy to defraud". She was released on bail pending investigation and must report to the police in mid-July.
Police said the investigation was still ongoing and more arrests could not be ruled out.
