In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the national teleconference on combating new types of illegal crimes in telecommunications networks, and severely crack down on cross-border telecommunications network fraud in accordance with the law, the Chinese police and the Indonesian police actively carried out police law enforcement cooperation. Recently, a major criminal gang engaged in cross-border naked chat extortion was successfully shot down in Batam, Indonesia, and 88 suspect of telecommunications network fraud were successfully captured. The first battle against cross-border naked chat extortion was successful.
Recently, the Ministry of Public Security organized the public security organs in Beijing, Shandong and other places to conduct in-depth research, judgment and analysis on many cases of naked chat extortion. After tracking along the line and careful handling, the special case team found that the fraud dens were located in Indonesia, and initially identified some suspect. On August 23rd, the Ministry of Public Security dispatched personnel to lead a working group of police officers from Beijing, Shandong and other places to Indonesia. With the strong support and coordination of our embassy in Indonesia, we cooperated with the Indonesian police to carry out law enforcement cooperation in combating telecommunications network fraud crimes. On the basis of investigating and mastering the relevant criminal facts and criminal evidence, on August 29, the Indonesian police organized the first batch of centralized network access operations, destroyed a huge telecommunications network fraud crime dens located in Batam Island, Indonesia, and successfully captured 88 suspect of telecommunications network fraud. More than 80 computers, more than 200 mobile phones, and a large number of bank cards and other crime tools were seized on the scene. After preliminary investigation, more than 40 cases of naked chat extortion involving multiple regions in China were all carried out by the criminal gang, and the relevant cases are under further investigation. At present, the Indonesian police have agreed to hand over suspect to us, and the Ministry of Public Security will soon organize civilian police to escort 88 suspect home.
In recent years, the crime of naked chat extortion has shown a high incidence trend, becoming the new type of crime with the most serious social harm in telecommunications network fraud. Scammers attract followers and attract traffic by posting pornographic information on major social media platforms, live streaming platforms, and forum forums, inducing victims to add friends and then sending Trojan app download links to steal information such as mobile phone contacts; Then, by hiring female anchors or playing pornographic videos, they engage in nude conversations with the victims, guiding them to make indecent actions and secretly recording nude chat footage. They then use mass posting of indecent videos as a threat to carry out extortion. Victims often choose to transfer money to criminals due to concerns about reputation and fear of exposure; Some victims have been exploited layer by layer, repeatedly extorted, and even borrowed heavily on online lending platforms, owing huge debts; Some victims choose to commit suicide due to their inability to withstand immense psychological pressure, resulting in serious consequences and negative social impact.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security stated that the public security organs will always maintain a high-pressure situation in cracking down on cross-border telecommunications and network fraud crimes, continue to increase their work efforts, continuously strengthen international law enforcement cooperation, launch a fierce attack on overseas telecommunications and network fraud groups, resolutely curb the high incidence of such crimes, and effectively safeguard the safety of people's lives and property.
