Jiangsu man receives strange SMS fraud

After spending 4,500 yuan on a transaction with 17-year-old girl Yang, the man suddenly received a text message asking Guo to pay 20,000 yuan for abortion and nutrition. Guo began with a grain of salt, but after seeing the hospital checklist, he believed it and was afraid that the illegal transaction would be exposed, so he transferred 20,000 yuan to the other party.

Soon, the police arrested a prostitution ring and committed a crime. It turned out that three young people after zero zero, Xiao Mou and his girlfriend Wang Mou, organized four or five women who lost their jobs to engage in prostitution. Among them, Xiao and others usually look for targets online and then introduce them to women who have lost their feet. After the illegal transaction is completed, it will be divided in proportion.

After committing the crime, the three people used the information of women who lost their feet to pretend to be women who lost their feet, lied about pregnancy, forged hospital checklists, and asked the clients for inspection fees, nutrition fees and other expenses.

I have to say, Guo is too stupid to believe this information. Of course, some people say that Guo has to believe it, and he doesn't believe it either, because once the other party comes to the door or calls the police, the loss will be even greater, so he has to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Is the other party's behavior fraud or extortion? The crime of fraud refers to the act of concealing the facts or fabricating the truth for the purpose of illegal possession to defraud others of their property; The crime of extortion is an act of extorting money from others by means of intimidation and threats for the purpose of illegal possession.

Note that both the crime of fraud and the crime of extortion can use fraudulent means, but the key difference between them lies in the different psychology of the victims. The crime of fraud is that the victim voluntarily pays the property after being cheated, while the crime of extortion is that the victim pays out of fear.

Specific to this case, on the one hand, it depends on the specific behavior of the suspect, on the other hand, it depends on Guo's psychology. If the suspect just cheated Guo into getting pregnant and asked for inspection fees and other expenses, Guo believed it and took the initiative to pay for the property, then it was fraud.

If the suspect lied about being pregnant and Guo didn't pay, he chose to call the police or go home. Guo is afraid of paying money, so it is a crime of extortion.

How is it judged? In addition, the three suspects organized four or five women to engage in prostitution, which was divided in proportion and was also suspected of organizing prostitution. According to the criminal law, whoever organizes prostitution shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years. Therefore, it is necessary to punish several suspects for organizing prostitution, fraud or extortion, and they will be severely punished by law.

At the same time, although Guo is the victim of the criminal case, he is also a criminal because of whoring. The Law on Public Security Administration Punishment stipulates that prostitutes shall be detained for more than five days and less than ten days; If the circumstances are minor, they shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than five hundred yuan.
