East China police bust telecom fraud gang

Xinhua, October 13, 2016 Adjust font size:

Police in east China's Fujian Province have busted a telecommunications fraud gang, with 52 scammers detained, police said Thursday.

In September, police in Anxi County found traces of the scammers operating in Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. A crackdown that followed helped nab the suspects in three separate locations in Nanning, police said.

The scammers used mobile phones and computers to lure victims to gamble on their websites. They swindled money from them by manipulating the gambling results.

Further investigation is under way. Endi
