90 arrested for alleged telecoms fraud
Print Edition
Police in central China’s Hubei Province have detained a group of 90 suspects over a telecommunications fraud case.
The suspects were arrested at four locations in Enshi City.
More than 100 computers were confiscated, according to police in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, which administers the city.
An initial investigation found that most of the suspects were neighbors and classmates who had illegally purchased other people’s personal information.
They extorted money from their victims in various provinces by using web phones.
The group had conducted more than 4,000 cases of fraud.
This year, seven people were sentenced to prison in east China’s Shandong Province for their roles in a case of telecommunications fraud that led to the death of a teenager.
Xu Yuyu, a high school graduate from Linyi, suffered a fatal cardiac arrest in August last year after she was cheated of 9,900 yuan (US$1,500), which she had intended to use to pay her university tuition fees.
