中印警方合作抓获88名跨境裸聊敲诈嫌疑人!

中国警方与印尼警方开展国际警务执法合作 成功抓获88名从事跨境裸聊敲诈的电信网络诈骗犯罪嫌疑人

为深入贯彻落实全国打击治理电信网络新型违法犯罪工作电视电话会议精神,依法严厉打击跨境电信网络诈骗犯罪,中国警方与印度尼西亚警方积极开展警务执法合作,于近日在印尼巴淡岛成功打掉一个从事跨境裸聊敲诈的特大犯罪团伙,成功抓获88名电信网络诈骗犯罪嫌疑人,打击跨境裸聊敲诈犯罪首战告捷。
近期,公安部组织北京、山东等地公安机关对多起裸聊敲诈案件进行深度研判分析,经循线追踪、细致摸排,专案组发现诈骗窝点位于印尼境内,并初步查明了部分犯罪嫌疑人身份。8月23日,公安部派员率北京、山东等地公安机关民警组成工作组赴印尼,在我驻印尼使馆的大力支持和协调下,与印尼警方开展打击电信网络诈骗犯罪警务执法合作。在调查掌握相关犯罪事实和犯罪证据的基础上,8月29日,印尼警方组织开展第一批集中收网行动,一举捣毁一个盘踞在印尼巴淡岛的特大电信网络诈骗犯罪窝点,成功抓获88名电信网络诈骗犯罪嫌疑人,现场查获电脑80余台、手机200余部以及大量银行卡等一大批作案工具。经初步查证,涉及我国多地的40余起裸聊敲诈案件均为该犯罪团伙实施,相关案件正在进一步侦办中。目前,印尼警方已同意将犯罪嫌疑人移交我方,公安部将于近期组织民警将88名犯罪嫌疑人押解回国。
近年来,裸聊敲诈犯罪呈多发高发态势,成为电信网络诈骗犯罪中社会危害最为严重的一类新型犯罪。诈骗分子通过在各大交友平台、直播平台、论坛贴吧发布色情信息方式吸粉引流,诱导受害人添加好友,进而发送木马APP下载链接,窃取手机通讯录等信息;随后再通过雇佣女主播或播放黄色视频等方式与受害人进行裸聊,引导受害人做出不雅动作,并偷录裸聊画面,进而以群发不雅视频为要挟,实施敲诈勒索。受害人往往因顾忌名誉、害怕曝光,选择向犯罪分子转账;有的受害人被层层盘剥、反复敲诈,甚至在网贷平台大量借贷,欠下巨额债务;有的受害人因难以承受巨大心理压力选择自杀,造成严重后果和恶劣社会影响。
公安部有关负责人表示,公安机关将始终保持对跨境电信网络诈骗犯罪的严打高压态势,继续加大工作力度,不断加强国际警务执法合作,向境外电信网络诈骗集团发起凌厉攻势,坚决遏制此类犯罪的高发态势,切实维护人民群众生命财产安全。

法新社報導,印尼警方昨天根據中國同行情報,在廖內群島省(Riau Islands)巴淡市(Batam city)的一個工業園區逮捕了83名男子和5名女性。

詐騙者在視訊通話中假裝對受害者有感情。

女詐騙犯被指控引誘受害者,接著在視訊通話期間要求受害者從事與性有關的行為,其他犯罪同夥則負責錄下影片。

而後詐騙犯會開始勒索受害者,威脅受害者如果拒絕匯錢給他們,便會將影片外流至社群媒體。

目前還不清楚這個網路愛情詐騙集團已經經營多久,以及敲詐了多少錢。

警方此前曾表示,在中國打擊國內網路詐騙後,許多詐騙者已轉移到印尼和其他東南亞國家。

2019年,印尼警方在一起騙取受害者高達數百萬美元的網路詐騙案中,逮捕了85名中國公民以及6名本國人。


Indonesia arrests 88 Chinese nationals over online romance scams

BATAM, Indonesia–Indonesian police said Wednesday they have arrested 88 Chinese citizens for involvement in a cross-border telephone and online romance scam syndicate after receiving a tip from the Chinese security ministry.

The suspects, including five women, were arrested on Batam island, next to Singapore, said Riau Islands police spokesperson Zahwani Pandra Arsyad. They were working from a shophouse, a building with mixed commercial and residential use, in an industrial park. Police believe the suspects are members of a telephone fraud and online love scam syndicate, Arsyad said.

Most of their targets appeared to be fellow Chinese who were called over the internet and tricked into transferring money after the callers manipulated the “human emotion” of the victims, Arsyad said. A preliminary investigation showed the gang had been operating since early this year, ensnaring hundreds of victims in China, but it is unclear how much money they had collected.

“We are still investigating this case, including whether any Indonesians among the victims,” Arsyad said, adding that none of the suspects can speak or write the Indonesian language. “If there are none, we would deport all of them immediately.”

Arsyad said members of the syndicate had come from China to Indonesia for three months at a time since January, using tourist visas, and they were committing the crimes from Indonesia after China cracked down on their networks.

He said Indonesian police are working closely with immigration officials and China’s Ministry of Public Security in dealing with the suspects.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission in 2019 announced that romance-related scams have generated more losses than any other consumer fraud reported to the agency. It said romance scams vary but criminals typically find their victims online, though a dating site or social media.

Scammers usually create a phony profile, often building a believable persona with another person’s photo and direct communication. They woo the victim, building affection and trust until they see an opportunity to ask for money. The reasons for the request can vary but requests for money to pay for a medical emergency or travel costs for a long-awaited visit are common.

In a report Wednesday, the United Nation High Commissioner for Human Rights said criminal gangs have forced hundreds of thousands of people in Southeast Asia into participating in unlawful online scams, including false romantic ploys, bogus investment pitches and illegal gambling schemes.

It cited “credible sources” that at least 120,000 people in strife-torn Myanmar and roughly 100,000 in Cambodia “may be held in situations where they are forced to carry out online scams.”

The report shed a new light on cybercrime scams that have become a major issue in Asia, with many of the workers trapped in virtual slavery and forced to participate in scams targeting people over the internet.

Laos, the Philippines and Thailand were also cited among the main countries of destination or transit for tens of thousands of people. Criminal gangs have increasingly targeted migrants and lure some victims by false recruitment — suggesting they are destined for real jobs.

Indonesia in 2017 arrested 419 Chinese and Taiwanese citizens who were involved in a telephone fraud and online investment scam syndicate. They were repatriated to face charges in their homeland after spending two months in Indonesian jails and being fined $770 for violating their tourist visas.

In 2019, Indonesian police arrested 85 Chinese citizens for involvement in a similar case.
