Police net 155 telecom-fraud suspects
Online Edition
POLICE in east China's Zhejiang Province seized 155 suspects in a latest raid of a telecom fraud chain, police sources said on Sunday.
In November last year, a man surnamed Xu in Haining City of Zhejiang claimed he was cheated of 80,000 yuan (US$12,500) by a telecom scam.
An investigation showed that telephone operators were hired to make phone calls and offer free jade wears. The victims were then lured to join a so-called company dealing with jade wears after paying membership fees.
On January 19, police in Haining raided the scam operators in Hefei City, Anhui Province and Kunshan City of Jiangsu Province, and seized the suspects. Police said the ring had been involved in large-scale fraud practice.
Telecom-based fraud, in which suspects cheat people through telecommunication channels, is a growing crime in China. Further investigation into the ring is under way.
