Revealing the Secret： The Truth Behind the Legendary ＂Great Cause of National Assets Thawing＂

　　CCTV News:Recently, many people have searched for a phrase on the Internet, "the great cause of unfreezing national assets", which is referred to as the great cause of the nation for short. It sounds like a big project, and it is said that the asset statistics unit of this project is trillion! The source of so much money is also quite mysterious. What is the truth behind the legendary "great cause of thawing national assets"?

　　Trillion legacy assets, huge donation farce

　　Wang Lirong, a 58-year-old retired female worker in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province, claimed to know the inside story of this mysterious wealth.

　　When the royal families of past dynasties retreated, they buried all these assets in the ground or transferred them abroad as the capital for their future revival. During the Republic of China, the four big families buried all these properties. Now this money is already in trillion units.

　　Last summer, Wang Lirong received calls from some old people who claimed to be Chen Lifu and others, saying that they were the 17th National Congress officials in charge of guarding trillion-dollar assets. These large sums of money were frozen in dozens of overseas banks. If the old people are nearly 100 years old this year, they plan to unfreeze their assets and give them to people with relatively difficult lives before their death. Later, Wang Lirong received the power of attorney and was appointed as the head of the Northeast Region of the "Chinese National Assets Thawing Committee", which was responsible for convening members to apply for donations.　

　　The power of attorney says that each applicant can get 1.5 million yuan, and it is also stamped with the official seals of the so-called People’s Republic of China (PRC) the State Council and the Ministry of Finance. Wang Lirong has also received the identity certificates of the so-called guardian assets, certificates of deposits and withdrawals from foreign banks and so on.

　　Wang Lirong contacted his friend Wang Yun to recruit asset applicants. According to the power of attorney, the money is only given to people with low income or living difficulties such as subsistence allowances, five guarantees and disabilities, and only donated money without charge. Wang Yun not only signed himself up, but also organized hundreds of people. But after waiting for a while, the money was not received. The so-called old man who guarded the assets said that he was guarding the state property and could not move a cent, so they lived in poverty and hoped that everyone would donate some living expenses.　

　　Wang Lirong convened nearly 400 members of the National Assets Thawing Project, but not all of them were willing to pay the money. At this moment, a leader who claimed to be the Ministry of Civil Affairs called and asked everyone to pay the money, so each person paid 200 yuan.

　　But then, almost every week, Wang Lirong received a phone call asking for money, and sometimes he had to pay a tax payment certificate, a certificate of source of funds, and so on. He also said that if the number of people paying fees was not enough, he would not get millions of donations. Wang Yun and other "group leaders" made advances when the disabled residents who were found could not afford the money, resulting in heavy debts.

　　"Guarding the elderly" disappeared in the mountains, and the police searched across provinces.

　　The donations haven’t been sent yet, and the members who have paid many times are anxious. Wang Lirong said that he can’t contact the so-called guardian asset elderly actively, so he can only wait patiently.　

　　In March 2016, the members finally waited for the phone calls of several elderly people who guarded the assets. The other party said that they were going to bring 2 billion yuan in cash to Qiqihar City to hold a press conference and distribute it on the spot. On March 24, 2016, hundreds of members of the national assets thawing industry waited for a long time in a square in Qiqihar City, neither waiting for donations nor seeing the elderly who guarded the assets. However, the gathering of hundreds of people attracted the attention of the public security organs.

　　The police found propaganda documents about "the great cause of thawing national assets" in these backpacks. The police investigation found that the official seals stamped on these documents were all false, and the identity of the person who called Wang Lirong was also false. The so-called Vice Minister Bai of the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not exist. As for the fees collected from the members of "National Assets Thawing Cause", Wang Lirong remitted them to the so-called guardian assets elderly.

　　The police found that this was a typical vicious telecom fraud case. The police investigation found that both the fraudulent phone use place and the bank account trading places where the fraudulent money was collected were in Baise, Guangxi.

　　Qiqihar police rushed to Baise, Guangxi, to collect the surveillance video of the bank being transferred out again, and found that a suspicious middle-aged man entered a deep mountain outside Baise city after handling the transfer business. The police waited at the mountain pass for four days and four nights, and finally arrested five suspects.

　　The suspect confessed that "China Agricultural Bank National Assets Unfreezing Membership Card" and other materials were printed by computer. The suspect also registered many personal information of the deceived people in the notebook, including more than 2,000 people from Shandong Province, Guizhou Province and other provinces.　

　　The suspect Long Changzhong confessed that in addition to the five suspects who were arrested, there were others in Guangxi who were engaged in the "great cause of unfreezing national assets" fraud. Before that, they often shared the information of deceived people all over the country.　

　　Criminal suspect Long Changzhong:

　　There are a lot of these people who have been engaged in the "great cause of unfreezing national assets". Some of them have been engaged for decades, and some of them told us that they started to run in 1997.

　　Trillion scam is still on, daydreaming is still awake.

　　The police investigation found that Wang Lirong did transfer all the money paid by the members to the swindlers, not an accomplice, but also a victim. However, under the condition that the police keep doing ideological education, Wang Lirong is still convinced of the scam.

　　In the process of solving the case, there were old people who claimed to be Chen Cheng, Huang Jingui and so on, calling Wang Lirong constantly. The police told Wang Lirong that Chen Cheng had died in 1965, so it was impossible to call her, but Wang Lirong still believed in the so-called old man who guarded trillions of wealth.　

　　the policeI don’t understand you. What tempts you so much?　

　　Wang LirongBecause it’s true, it’s true!

　　It’s not a new gadget "Daye" or an old routine.

　　According to the police, the "national assets unfreezing scam" appeared about 30 years ago, and the deception methods have been evolving over the years. In recent months, there has even been a unified organization and task deployment. This kind of scam has always grasped the mentality that ordinary people want high returns.

　　One of the tricks: high return bait　

1 million, 5 million, 10 million, in the national assets thawing scam, you can get such a large return without paying money, or just paying a little membership fee, which is obviously an impossible bait.　

　　Deception 2: Pretending to be an authority and forging official documents　

　　In every fraud case of national assets thawing, there are many forged government documents or relevant certificates of financial institutions.

　　The third trick: organized management　

　　In the national assets unfreezing scam, the management of swindlers is very organized. In reality, there are general managers, regional leaders, group leaders, and recruited members. Micro-groups are divided into basic membership entry groups with lower fees, followed by project groups with fees as high as several thousand, and even more advanced management groups that can only be entered by group owners and management. These WeChat groups are also divided into registration, finance, publicity and training, flag raisers and other positions.　

　　Deception 4: the thief shouted to catch the thief.

　　With the successful detection of many cases of "national assets thawing" by the police, many fraudulent WeChat groups under the banner of "national assets thawing" are in full swing, and the owners have asked members to change their avatars and nicknames, and they are not allowed to talk to outsiders. Related videos have also been encrypted by publishers.

　　There are also some key members of the fraudulent WeChat group who claim in the group that all the people investigated by the police cheat in the name of "the great cause of thawing national assets", and they themselves are the real meritorious personnel of "the great cause of thawing national assets" and are protected. Such a "thief shouted to catch a thief" in an attempt to continue to deceive the victims in the group.
