The two women claim to be staff members of Quanzhou Yuanyuan Communications Co., Ltd. Because this activity of purchasing IPHONE6 mobile phones is only for college students, it can only be handled through college students. All the installment costs will be borne by their company. Students Xiaoqi only needs to help get the mobile phone out, and he can also get 300 yuan in part-time fees. A woman also took out an installment purchase agreement for college students, which clearly stated that the repayment would be fully borne by the communications company where the woman worked. It ended with the company's official seal and the signature and fingerprint of the legal person.
You only need to fill out a form, sign, and provide some information, and you can easily earn a few hundred yuan. Xiaoqi, who was excited but still doubtful, rushed to the Quanzhou Aviation Hotel the next day to interview for a job. Installment contract. However, the event was held on site by Xiamen Wanmeng Telecommunications Co., Ltd., not the company the woman mentioned before. There were twenty or thirty students who came to the company for interviews.
After reviewing the students’ information, Xiamen Wanmeng Telecom Co., Ltd. handled the installment purchase of mobile phones for Xiaoqi and other students on the spot. Xiaoqi also received an IPHONE6 mobile phone and handed it over to him on the spot. He arrested the person who brought him here and received 300 yuan on the spot.
Subsequently, Xiaoqi signed an installment payment agreement that had nothing to do with him. It had the official seal of Quanzhou Far and Near Communications Company and the signature and handprint of the legal person Huang Hai. Why aren't the company that purchases the machine and the company that pays for it in installments the same company? Afterwards, Xiaoqi felt more and more that something was not right. After hesitating for a long time, Xiaoqi finally plucked up the courage to call the police.
Six thousand to seven thousand yuan in installments, in exchange for three to four hundred yuan in part-time fees
The police from the Houzhu Police Station of the Quanzhou Border Defense Detachment, who received the alarm from Xiaoqi, later discovered that many Quanzhou college students had died because of The IPHONE6 purchasing agent encountered an incident and called the police. Like Xiaoqi, the students all signed an installment agreement for IPHONE6 worth 6,000-8,000 yuan, and then received 300 or 400 yuan.
The consequences of college students signing a mobile phone installment agreement soon became apparent: the phone was taken away, but the loan of several thousand dollars had to be repaid by the student who signed the agreement. One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen. College students have discovered one after another that on other installment shopping websites, multiple mobile phones suddenly appeared out of thin air and loaned out in their name. The maximum number of mobile phones loaned to one person was four. What is going on?
Quanzhou police determined that this was a fraud case specifically targeting students. On January 13, police from the Houzhu Police Station of the Quanzhou Border Defense Detachment and the Fengze Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Quanzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau arrested the gang leader Chen and other four people in a house in a community on Citong Road in Quanzhou. 9 IPHONE6 mobile phones were seized on the spot. And a large number of purchasing agreements, personal identity information, as well as a large number of mobile phones and disposable phone cards used to respond to loan companies' return visits.
As expected, this is a scam that uses part-time mobile phone promotion and purchasing as a guise to lure students into falling for it. "Consumer Advocacy" reporter Zhao Fang discovered that Xiamen Wanmeng Telecommunications Co., Ltd. provided college students with an installment plan to purchase mobile phones. The business was legal and legal. However, after the interview, the suspect took the mobile phone from the student's hand without the company's knowledge. According to Current verification shows that 12 mobile phones used for student interviews were sold by criminal suspects, but the loans have not been repaid.
The website review is full of loopholes, and scammers have taken advantage of it
Many students are puzzled as to why some mobile phone installment loans will be issued without their signature. What about in your own name?
The police found that the reason was that after the students signed an installment payment agreement for their first mobile phone, their information was used by the criminal suspects to re-apply for multiple installment payment mobile phones on other websites. The mobile phones on these websites do not require students to be interviewed in person to apply.
Some websites offer mobile phone installment plans that do not require an interview, but because they can only be purchased by college students, the websites also list some loan conditions, but these conditions are almost in vain. For example, some websites require uploading student ID cards, photos of the front and back of the student ID card, and bank account information. However, because the operation is very simple and the review is not strict, criminals have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
