At the end of October, a number of universities in central China reported cases of students being defrauded of purchasing 3C products through installment plans without credit cards.

The prosecutor pointed out that the three defendants conspired to organize a fraud group in March 2011, using inexperienced college students as their heads, and pretended that college students purchased 3C products and applied for “cardless installment” from financing companies. The defendant was named Lin. The defendant paid part of the upfront payment, or issued an invalid promissory note with the payee column as the defendant himself.

Prosecutors said that after the defendants gained the trust of college students by pretending to be willing to pay off debts on their behalf, they tricked the students into introducing more students to sign up for “cardless installment” shopping contracts. Most of the remaining installment shopping debts were left to the contracted students themselves. Bear, in this way, fraudulently obtain money from financing companies and cause students to bear debts.

The prosecutor’s investigation concluded, and it was believed that the three defendants were suspected of violating the criminal law of aggravated fraud, aggravated fraud, and organized crime regulations. They filed a public prosecution in the court and asked the court to consider the number of victims in the whole case, which was as high as hundreds, and the amount of fraud. More than 10 million yuan, seriously endangering social security, and the defendant and others have not reconciled with the victim. The malignity is serious. Please give him a harsher sentence. At the same time, he also requests that the criminal proceeds of the three defendants be confiscated.
