Six most wanted telecom and Internet fraud suspects seized

Xinhua, January 19, 2017 Adjust font size:

Police have detained six fugitives on a list of China's 10 most-wanted telecom and Internet fraud suspects, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said Thursday.

Huang Youli, 50, is said to have defrauded over two million yuan (290,000 U.S. dollars) through WeChat, a popular Chinese chatting app and social network service, in July, 2015. He turned himself in to the police in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Jan. 12.

Tang Shixian, 31, Wu Shaoyan, 36, and Pan Fangfang, 29, all allegedly participated in a sperm donation swindle. They lured their victims to transfer money to them which they claimed to be a deposit against donation.

Tang surrendered himself to the police on Jan. 13 in eastern China's Jiangxi Province. Wu and Pan were arrested in Jiangxi on Jan. 13 and Jan. 14 respectively.

Hu Xiaoping, 50, and his son Hu Dalong, 27, gave themselves up to the police in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Tuesday. They defrauded several million yuan by claiming to help victims apply for credit cards since January, 2016. Endi
