In June 219, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a 5G license to basic telecom operators, and China officially opened the road to 5G commercialization.

As an epoch-making event, "5G" has become popular, and many projects with "5G" in their names have sprung up in large numbers, including 5G pedestrian streets, 5G parks, 5G shopping centers and so on. At the same time, some lawless elements have also taken advantage of the situation to come up with the idea of 5G.

Recently, in Jiangsu, Guangdong, Anhui and other places, many people cheated money in the name of state-owned enterprises and built 5G base stations and facilities, and then ran away.

this scam doesn't sound brilliant, but why can it be successful all over the country?

claiming to be authorized by state-owned enterprises

and having a cooperation contract with the government

Mr. Sun lives in Lixin County, Bozhou City, Anhui Province, and has been engaged in engineering construction for many years. Mr. Sun told reporters that in 218, he met a manager surnamed Cai of Anhui Xiaoxian Longma Construction and Installation Co., Ltd. under the introduction of fellow villager Gao Moumou. The manager Cai said that the company currently has a 5G base station in Xuzhou. The construction project is under construction and I want Mr. Sun to participate.

Mr. Sun: "I went to his construction site and found that they were really under construction. I also went to their office to have a look. There was an office space, a company brand, everything, and this company could be found online. Later, I signed a contract with him. "

introduced by an acquaintance, there was a construction site under construction, and the topic of 5G was already very hot at that time, so Mr. Sun didn't doubt it. Mr. Sun told the reporter that in the conversation with Manager Cai, Manager Cai said that the project was authorized by the state-owned enterprises, and he also saw the so-called authorization letter with the words "China Tower Co., Ltd.".

Mr. Sun: "They said they were building a 5G base station for the China Tower. He said he had the authorization of the China Tower and a contract for cooperation with the government."

getting part of the money smoothly

makes people more convinced

According to the contract signed by both parties, Anhui Xiaoxian Longma Construction and Installation Co., Ltd. will distribute 1 construction operation sites of 5G base stations to Mr. Sun every month, but Mr. Sun needs to pay 8, yuan for material procurement at each operation site first, and then the company will pay Mr. Sun a total of 169, yuan for each operation site, including material costs, after the completion and acceptance.

Mr. Sun: "We paid the purchasing fee for 1 operating points and paid him 8, yuan."

Mr. Sun said that since his construction team was not in Xuzhou at that time, and the construction team of Mr. Gao, the introducer, happened to be nearby, he subcontracted the construction tasks of the first batch of 1 operation sites to Mr. Gao.

Mr. Sun: "This guy named Gao is also engaged in engineering. I think his construction team is close to the construction site of the base station, so I gave him this living package. He gave him 32, yuan for the construction of an operation site, and he guaranteed us to pass the acceptance."

after completing the construction of the first 1 so-called 5G base stations, Mr. Sun successfully got part of the money of 1 million yuan from the company, which made him more convinced of this project. Subsequently, he paid 1.6 million yuan and purchased materials for 2 operating points.

Mr. Sun: "That's what I thought at that time. You give me 1 yuan first, and I'll get 2 yuan the second time."

People went to the empty building

There were many 5G construction scams

However, it didn't take long for Mr. Sun to contact this manager Cai, and then he went to the company to see that the building was empty. Similarly, Mr. Yan, Mr. Sun's fellow villager, also encountered a similar situation.

Through inquiry, the reporter learned that Anhui Xiaoxian Longma Construction and Installation Co., Ltd. is jointly held by two shareholders named Zhang, and the manager Cai who signed the contract with Mr. Sun is not a shareholder of Longma Construction Company, but he holds a company named Jiangsu Ruifan Communication Engineering with one of the shareholders named Zhang.

The reporter also contacted the manager surnamed Cai and Mr. Gao, Mr. Sun's hometown, for many times on this matter. Up to now, the phones of both parties have never been connected.

It is understood that in addition to Xuzhou and Anhui, there are many scams in Ningxia, Guangdong, Shaanxi and other places based on the construction of 5G base stations. Among them, a company in Ningxia defrauded 29 contractors for nearly 1 million yuan.

In this regard, the public security organs also remind the masses to be vigilant and avoid being cheated.

Wang Luwei, an investigator of jinfeng district Economic Crime Investigation Brigade of Yinchuan Public Security Bureau, said: "The first thing is to ask more questions. In the process of signing an agreement with the suspect, you should ask more about the project, because many projects are made up by them or they heard from other places, and they don't know much about the actual situation of this project. In the process of communication, they will show flaws in their own words. (The second is to see more.) If you know about this project, you have to go to the construction site to have a look first, to see the situation there or the surrounding environment of the construction site. The third is to check more. Now many of our government affairs are open. Developers are registered in government departments, and they can be found out when they check. "
