"Is it for leave?" "What is the reason for issuing the death certificate?" …… Behind every question mark, there may be a false certificate transaction. According to a recent investigation by the reporter of the rule of law daily, with the increase of law enforcement, there are fewer and fewer advertisements for handling fake certificates in real life, but the businesses that make and sell fake certificates online are still rampant - there are all kinds of certificates, such as resident ID card, birth medical certificate, driver's license, sick leave note, entry physical examination report, poverty certificate, death certificate and so on, And it only costs a few yuan to make a fake certificate, which can sell hundreds or even thousands of yuan. How is this black industrial chain of manufacturing and selling fake certificates formed and how should it be cut off? Steal a beam and change a column to conceal a crime, customize everything on demand The news about the manufacture and sale of fake certificates is not new. Today, with the continuous crackdown of relevant departments and the upgrading of interception measures on some platforms, businesses that buy and sell fake certificates or certificates have changed their posts and "concealed crimes" in the gray area. "Filtering keywords" is the most obvious change. Previously, in some online e-commerce platforms and search engines, it was not difficult to find relevant products by inputting keywords such as "generation certificate"; Now, when searching with this keyword, the answers are "no relevant baby found" or "sorry, no commodity found". However, after changing common keywords such as "proof" or turning search engine pages, some online stores that make and sell fake certificates can still be found. After inputting some keywords, the search bar will automatically associate with alternative search names. For example, inputting "do" will associate with "do 'levy' professional" and so on. After clicking the link, you can also find the online store that makes and sells fake certificates. According to Xie Shu, associate professor of the school of criminal justice of China University of political science and law, in the past, forging certificates was usually carried out in the form of "guerrillas" on the overpass and under the bridge tunnel, with a limited scope. But now the fake certificate can be traded on the network platform, which is not only simple to buy, but also has a wider "business" scope. Recently, the reporter selected five online stores handling false certificates on the online e-commerce platform, click the customer service consultation details, and a similar "special goods, no reply here, please add V for consultation and customization: ××××××” The news. After adding a friend, the other party sends a message asking "what to do". When the reporter asked "whether to issue a critical illness notice or death certificate", a seller replied, "you can issue a certificate, but explain the reason". The reporter explained that "if you are hurt, you want more money and won't file a lawsuit". After hearing this, the other party refused: "it's easy to cause disputes and won't open." Subsequently, the reporter contacted another seller on the grounds of "borrowing an online loan and wanting to open a death certificate to escape the other party's account recovery". The other party immediately sent some samples, including the death certificate issued by the village (neighborhood) committee, the death medical certificate (inference) issued by medical and health institutions, the abnormal death certificate issued by the Public Security Bureau, and even the cremation certificate issued by the funeral management department, which not only contained detailed personal information, but also the seal of the corresponding department. The above sellers told reporters that dozens of people consult them every day. The cheap sick leave certificate is only fifty or sixty yuan; The birth certificate and death certificate cost 160 yuan to 350 yuan; The most expensive are all kinds of education, technology and graduation certificates, which need more than 1000 yuan. The reporter also bought a hospital diagnosis certificate from a seller on the grounds of "asking for leave from the unit". After asking for identity, hospital information and "what disease to have", the other party soon sent a photo of diagnosis certificate, saying that it could be mailed nationwide for 10 yuan. According to the seller, the buyer will decide what disease you have and how many days you need to recover. He sent a picture of "business scope" to the reporter, which was densely written with various certificates that can be opened, "one by one, one price". There were more than 60 kinds in the column of illness alone, including enteroscopy, gastroscope, otolaryngoscope, MRI, ECG sheet, color Doppler ultrasound sheet, admission and discharge certificate, mental scale, surgical consent, etc. In addition, there are income, work, bank transaction details, residence certificate, poverty certificate and other certificates. There are nearly 100 kinds of certificates issued by the seller. "As long as you can provide the sample format of the required certificate and the required information, we can make the same certificate even if we haven't done it before." The five sellers contacted by the reporter almost unanimously said. The reporter found that in addition to domestic supporting documents, they can also manufacture and sell ID cards and residence permits of some foreign countries. The circulation of false certificates is unscrupulous, and it is suspected of a crime to confuse the false with the true Do all kinds of fake certificates made and sold by these sellers work in reality? The reporter spent 60 yuan to buy a "disease diagnosis certificate" for leave and consulted Ms. Liu, who has been engaged in human resources work for many years in a unit in Beijing. She said that judging from the medical certificate submitted by others before, this certificate seems to be no problem and should be granted leave. The reporter also took a "medical certificate issued by a hospital in Chongqing" provided by the seller to consult the doctors of a third class hospital in Beijing. He said that on the surface, there is no problem with this fake medical certificate. There are all the basic elements. In order to be more realistic, some counterfeiters will query the name of the doctor visiting the hospital and imitate the doctor's notes. However, as long as you check the medical records of the day in the registration room of the hospital, you can know whether it is true or false. The medical certificate handled online can only be used as a cover. Yang junnan, a policeman at Taogou police station of Yongqiao branch of Suzhou Public Security Bureau, Anhui Province, said that handling the death certificate is a very complex matter. The relevant departments will not charge fees. False certificates that need to pay fees are often to meet illegal requirements or achieve a certain purpose through illegal means. At present, many of the so-called death certificates and birth certificates issued on behalf of others are roughly made according to some certificate formats found on the Internet and privately engraved official seals. They are short in time and low in cost. They may also be suspected of committing crimes. The reporter inquired about the public jurisprudence of China judicial documents network and found that there have been many cases of administrative and criminal penalties due to the production and sale of false certificates or the use of purchased false certificates. For example, in 2020, Mao in Jingjiang, Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, was granted a guarantor pending trial for committing the crime of huge fraud. In order to escape the penalty, he made a "death certificate" for himself and sent it directly to the court. Finally, he was sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment for the crime of fraud and forging the seal of state official documents. According to Shanghai Zhonglian According to Guo Xiaoming, a lawyer of (Chengdu) law firm, death certificates and birth certificates are generally issued by state government organs and institutions, and many certificates are sealed with official documents. If a merchant forges such certificates, he will be subject to public security penalties such as administrative detention once verified in accordance with the relevant provisions of the law on public security management penalties and the criminal law, and may also be suspected of forgery, alteration Crime of buying and selling official documents, certificates and seals of state organs. Xie Shu also proposed that the purpose of people buying false certificates is diverse, such as changing civil rights and obligations, cheating on insurance, altering age and even evading punishment. Therefore, they may be suspected of fraud, loan fraud and insurance fraud, which need to be analyzed and judged in combination with the specific situation. Take multiple measures simultaneously, unite and work together to cut off the "lifeline" of false evidence The reporter's investigation found that the cost of making a false certificate or false certificate is low, some only need a few yuan, and even the printing cost of a full set of relevant materials is only about 100 yuan. How can a fake certificate costing only a few yuan be concealed and swaggered through the market? According to insiders, certificates such as graduation certificates and ID cards have online query or built-in magnetic stripe. Even if the fake certificate is "lifelike", it can be identified by certain means, but many certificates still lack effective identification means. Xie Shu said that death certificates and critical illness notices generally do not have anti-counterfeiting marks or two-dimensional codes. The identification of true and false only depends on the basic format and official seal, which is easy to forge. Unless specifically verified with the issuing unit, it is difficult to effectively prevent and detect. Fake certificate producers and sellers solicit "business" through social media, online shopping platforms and other forms has become the norm of this black industrial chain. So, what is the current supervision of the platform side? During the investigation, the reporter found that there was a picture with the contact information of handling false certificates in a previous news report. The report has exposed the behavior of selling false certificates on the account. However, on December 16, the reporter found that this number could still be used normally, and contacted the other party at 9 o'clock that night. The customer service of the account said that they are still making and selling fake certificates and many samples of fake certificates. The reporter learned from the customer service department that they have a special counterfeiting factory, and many people come to consult every day. Even if their contact information had not had any impact in the previous news reports, it also said that "no one can find this thing". Xie Shu believes that for the criminal act of making and selling fake certificates through online stores, if the platform party lacks supervision, or fails to fulfill its supervision responsibility due to supervision, it will bear legal responsibility. Article 13 of the e-commerce law stipulates that the commodities sold or services provided by e-commerce operators shall meet the requirements of ensuring personal and property safety and environmental protection, and shall not sell or provide commodities or services prohibited by laws and administrative regulations. Guo Xiaoming suggested that to control the proliferation of false certificates, on the one hand, public security organs and regulatory departments need to strengthen law enforcement and resolutely investigate and deal with illegal and criminal acts of forging supporting documents; On the other hand, the functional departments that produce and issue certificates and supporting documents should improve the construction of information resource database, set up anti-counterfeiting signs and open convenient anti-counterfeiting verification channels. Relevant departments should strengthen the linkage mechanism, realize information sharing and exchange when reviewing documents and materials, increase the punishment for the criminal acts of forging certificates and certificates, strengthen the publicity of law popularization, form a high-pressure situation in the whole society, and educate and guide the public not to make or use forged certificates and certificates.
