Sentence! Female students committed suicide by jumping into the sea by telecom fraud, and 7 defendants were brought to justice.

　　CCTV News:From June to August, 2016, a telecom fraud gang committed fraud crazily. During this period, Cai Shuyan, a college student, committed suicide by jumping into the sea after being defrauded of tuition and living expenses of 9800 yuan. On the morning of 28th, the Intermediate People’s Court of Jieyang City, Guangdong Province sentenced seven defendants, including Chen Minghui, to life imprisonment and three years’ imprisonment.

　　The court found through trial that from August 2013 to March 2014, Chen Minghui repeatedly hired Tang Xiaohui (sentenced) to pretend to be a variety show such as "Where is Dad?" and sent more than 730,000 false winning fraud messages to mobile phone users.

　　From June to August, 2016, Chen Minghui recruited and assembled Fan Zhijie, Gao Xuezhong, Ye Qifeng, Xiong Yunjiang and others to form a criminal gang. By sending false winning information such as "Taobao" and "Run Brothers", he induced the winners who received the information to log in to the "phishing website" to fill in their personal information to receive the prize, and pretended to be a customer service staff to trick the winners into paying the "deposit" on the grounds of redemption. Pretending to be court staff and lawyers, it is a breach of contract that the "winner" fails to pay the "security deposit" or receive the prize as required. It is necessary to sue or have sued the "winner" and continue to pay the handling fee before withdrawing the lawsuit and obtaining the prize, threatening and luring, and defrauding the "winner" again, defrauding many people of property totaling RMB 1.041 million. Among them, Cai Shuyan, a student about to attend university, committed suicide by jumping into the sea after being defrauded of tuition and living expenses of 9800 yuan.

In addition, Xiong Yunjiang was caught by the traffic police for drunk driving in Haikou.
