Kyrgyz netizens certainly did not expect that behind the Russian app Yagodaplus Farm they were playing was a Chinese fraud gang. And this scam gang has already scammed 100 million soms (Kyrgyz currency, about 7 million yuan) through internet farms.
Fortunately, recently, a certain public security bureau in Ningbo has successfully cracked down on this "killing foreign market" fraud gang. Next, let's take a look at how this gang committed the crime.
Yagodaplus Farm, full of fraudulent seeds
The Yagodaplus fraud gang, led by Xu and Yang, impersonated a Russian company and claimed to be able to invest in fruit seeds and earn profits through the Yagodaplus farm platform. Once someone downloads Yagodaplus, the platform will first give free strawberry seeds to users and offer them rebates for two consecutive days, allowing users to taste the sweetness and believe in the platform's profit model. Afterwards, Xu and Yang gangs will add platform users as friends on social media, with the aim of developing users into promoters of the Yagodaplus platform. In order to achieve this goal, the fraud gang may reward users with 10% of their investment profits.
Two "profit models" have led to the rapid development of Yagodaplus, with a continuous influx of people entering the Yagodaplus platform. The reason why the victims are all Kyrgyz is because Xu and Yang have published a large number of advertisements on foreign social media and targeted them to Kyrgyz people.
Do fraud gangs that impersonate Russians and scam Kyrgyz people all have a certain degree? The answer is no, the fraud gang prepared the script to induce users to continue purchasing other seeds on the Yagodaplus platform in advance, and then communicated with the victims through online translation software. When the funds in the victim's account reach a certain scale, the gang will close the app and collect the victim's money into their own account. When the police arrested the fraud gang, they captured 17 suspect at the scene, 59 mobile phones and 15 computers.
At the time of the cracking of the "killing foreign market", 100 million soms, approximately 7 million RMB, had already been scammed.
Ai Hui Cha Reminder:
Whether targeting domestic "pig killing" or foreign "foreign" markets, fraudsters either start from people's greed for money or from emotions, gaining trust through a period of chat, and then leading people into fake investment platforms.
