Claim the QR code of WeChat group provided by the upstream buyer, randomly bring people into the group with "free gifts", then operate their mobile phones, and bring 20 or 30 WeChat friends into the group to take photos for authentication. In more than ten days, Ningbo man Chen "sold" more than 400 group chats in this way, and illegally earned more than 20000 yuan. Recently, he was sentenced by Fenghua District Court to one year's imprisonment, one year's probation for six months, and a fine of 10000 yuan, The illegal gains shall be recovered and confiscated. Chen, a truck driver, was invited by a fellow villager to scan the code and enter the group during a cargo run. After several operations, the other villager gave him a big doll and helped him out of the group chat. After meeting the other party again, Chen also started to use free gifts as bait to attract people to form groups, and then "sell" the group to his family. Xiaohong (pseudonym) enters the group through the QR code he provides, pulls her colleague Xiaoli (pseudonym) into the group to receive gifts and tells Xiaoli not to care about the information in the group. The group leader sent a few red packets and then pushed the content of the rebate. Finally, Xiaoli fell into the trap of online fraud by swiping. After being cheated of more than 250,000 yuan, she called the police. During the trial, Chen argued that he was just selling a group of people, and the people who were pulled could withdraw themselves. The court held that Chen used the information network to set up a distribution group for fraud, and his behavior has constituted the crime of illegal use of information network. "Many people think that scanning the code to get into groups and receiving gifts for free is just to attract people into groups, and it is not illegal if they do not commit fraud." The judge said that, in fact, taking advantage of others' mentality of being greedy for small things, "scanning the code to get into groups and giving gifts" to attract people into groups, which has violated the law for the "powder suction and drainage" of telecommunications network fraud crimes.
