In September 2022, Mr. Wang, a Shanghai citizen, reported to the Nanjing West Road Police Station of Jing'an Public Security Bureau:
Aunt Wang, a mother in her 60s, is infatuated with the film and television star Jin Dong. She joined a "celebrity fan group" and participated in so-called "aid investments" and "public welfare projects" by transferring money behind her family's back, throwing in 200000 yuan. Mr. Wang suspects that his mother has been deceived.
According to Mr. Wang's recollection, his mother had to chat in Jin Dong's live broadcast room every day, but he repeatedly tried to dissuade her. Mr. Wang noticed that the live broadcast room was set against a photo of Jin Dong, and there were occasional voice chat sessions.
What's even more unbelievable is that there are no real people appearing in the live broadcast room. Apart from the background, a video of an idol is usually played, accompanied by a gentle and gentle narration, saying, "Although I am a celebrity, I am also an ordinary person and I hope to make true friends."

Mr. Wang searched and found that Jin Dong's official account had never conducted such live interactive activities, let alone a so-called "private live broadcast room". But even though Mr. Wang repeatedly pointed out doubts to his mother, Aunt Wang still found it difficult to resist the sweet attack of her "idol" and kept giving away her savings. Mr. Wang can only call the police for help.
After receiving the report and filing the case, the Jing'an police visited Aunt Wang multiple times to counter fraud and dissuade her. Unfortunately, Aunt Wang has been deeply brainwashed and firmly believes that the other party is the real "star". She refuses to cooperate with the police investigation and insists that it is her right to give whoever she wants money to.
From beginning to end, Aunt Wang refused to even hand over her own phone, let alone provide any valuable clues. The police can only activate the police bank cooperation mechanism through the mother's passbook information provided by Mr. Wang, to sort out the flow of funds and information of the victims, but the results have been minimal.
In April of this year, Mr. Wang secretly obtained his mother's phone and provided clues such as the live broadcast room account, chat, and barrage records to the police. Based on previous investigation records, the police quickly identified the behind the scenes gang and personnel organizational structure behind the establishment of "celebrity private live streaming rooms" on short video platforms to commit fraud.

This criminal gang led by Wang invites fans to join various "fan groups" and "support groups" by fabricating celebrity and celebrity identities, from "joining the group" to "live interaction" to adding WeChat "private chat", gradually inducing victims to establish emotional connections with the "star", and then demanding money for various reasons such as "investment, public welfare, support, love". The celebrity identities fabricated by criminal gangs not only include film and television celebrities, but also include financial giants, industry leaders, and so on.
Criminal gang members are scattered across multiple provinces and cities across the country. From May to July this year, the Jing'an police in Shanghai carried out a network arrest operation in multiple provinces and cities, and successively arrested 8 members of a criminal gang, including Wang.
Suspect explains the crime process
According to Mr. Wang, the suspect, the star photos and video materials he used in the live broadcast were downloaded online, and the star voice used in the interaction was also the voice changing audio modified by software.

Other gang members are mainly responsible for recruiting and maintaining "fans". They select those attracted by "star idols" and draw them into the so-called "star private fan group". Then the gang members plus WeChat will exchange feelings with the victims as "stars", and sometimes send some "small gifts", such as red wine, perfume, etc. in return. After the victim puts down their guard and believes it to be true, the criminal gang switches to the traditional "pig killing plate" model and implements targeted fraud.
As of now, the police have verified 5 victims from multiple provinces and cities, mostly elderly people in their 60s, with a total amount of nearly one million yuan involved.
According to fraud gangs, when selecting potential targets, they will conduct an investigation into the victim's identity information and family situation in advance, identify single older women or elderly groups to deceive, and take advantage of their weak points of lack of "spiritual support" and relatively empty lives to break through the victim's defenses with care and care.
At present, 8 people, including suspect Wang, have been taken criminal coercive measures by Jing'an police according to law for suspected fraud, and the case is under further investigation.

Similar incidents have occurred more than once, as previously reported:
Auntie in her sixties said she wants to marry Jin Dong: he "confessed" to me!
Jin Dong Studio responds
61 year old Huang Auntie from Jiangxi said that the celebrity Jin Dong has confessed to her and she wants to marry Jin Dong! Aunt Huang said she has never truly enjoyed love, and now she wants to bravely pursue it.

The reporter found that the account that Aunt Huang is following on Jin Dong does not have personal authentication, and the sound in the video is either not Jin Dong's own or manually edited through Jin Dong's video. Obviously, this is not Jin Dong's Tiktok account at all. It is someone who impersonates the actor Jin Dong.
Recently, psychologists have communicated with Aunt Huang and are concerned that she may already have hallucinations. They suggest that family members be cautious and take Aunt Huang to the hospital for further examination.
On October 13, 2020, Jin Dong Studio issued a statement stating that Jin Dong had not opened an account on the short video platform, and the involved account was counterfeit, suspected of infringing on Jin Dong's portrait and name rights. The studio will hold accountable through legal means.
