Mobile phone fraud artists back in court
Print Edition
TWO men jailed for telecom fraud appealed their sentences yesterday at Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court.
Liu Huan and Wu Ritong, two of four men convicted in a case involving the rigging of mobile phone numbers to give users unlimited Internet access, were respectively sentenced to five years and 28 months in prison at Pudong People’s Court in October last year.
Liu, who took advantage of vulnerabilities in China Unicom’s computer system, asked for a lighter sentence, while Wu Ritong, who bought the numbers from Liu and resold them, said that his conviction should be quashed because his actions did not constitute theft. However, the prosecutor insisted that by buying and reselling the numbers, Wu caused losses to China Unicom, which amounts to stealing property.
The prosecutor said the four men, who were arrested last June, made over 150,000 yuan (US$23,600) between January 1 and March 7 last year. The court has not yet announced its verdict.
