今年7月,北京警方在警企对接过程中发现个别人员通过充值广告服务费实现一次充值两次退费的异常情况,初步涉及50多家网店。
说起网络“薅羊毛”,就是个别买家利用售后规则恶意不退货仅退款的案件。近期北京警方就破获了一起新型“薅羊毛”诈骗案,与以往不同的是,犯罪团伙这次伪装的是网店经营者,利用平台广告预存费退费机制,恶意重复退款,从中非法牟利。这起案件的源头要追溯到今年7月。
北京市公安局网安总队民警 张凯飞:今年7月份我们在警企对接的过程中,发现有个别人员在使用一些账号,通过这种充值广告服务费的方式,相当于实现一次充值两次退费。
据了解,该平台对广告推广费采取预存模式,账户内未消耗的广告费余额支持商家申请退费。平台设置线上自助申请和线下人工客服两条相互独立的退款通道。此次发现的异常问题全部集中在退费申请环节,经过初查,涉及网店50多家。
北京市公安局刑侦总队民警 陈平劲:通过侦查我们初步发现,应该一共是有56个账户(店铺)涉及这种异常退款,他这个账户的特征跟普通的企业账户有明显区别,因为从个人店铺想升级到企业店铺需要两个月,这些店铺基本上在能够升级企业店铺之后,他就马上上传营业执照,然后做成企业账户。
随着调查的深入,以彭某、莫某某为首的犯罪团伙逐渐浮出水面。他们首先在该网络平台注册大量个人店铺,注册时间满足要求后,便上传企业工商营业执照,将这些个人店铺升级为企业店铺,并对店铺的广告费账户进行充值。
充值完成后,便会立即申请线上退款,同时组织人员联系平台客服申请人工线下退款。也就是说,该团伙利用网络平台线上、线下均可申请广告预存款退费的模式,恶意重复申请,以此达到非法牟利的目的。
北京市公安局刑侦总队民警 陈平劲:我们发现这56个企业店铺没有任何实际经营行为,注册后会马上往企业广告账户里边进行充值,退完款之后就会对这个账户店铺进行销户,目的非常明显,就是为了诈骗,这是一个有组织有预谋的团伙行为。
在充分掌握团伙组织架构和犯罪证据的基础上,近日,北京警方组织警力分赴京外多省市,开展集中收网行动,一举将彭某、莫某某等团伙成员全部抓获。经审查,彭某在经营网上店铺时偶然发现同一店铺线上、线下同时申请退费会出现重复退款的情况,便伙同莫某某等人组织人员大量注册店铺,实施重复退款非法牟利。
据统计,截至案发该团伙利用该手段,非法牟利220多万元。目前,该团伙14名成员已被北京警方依法刑事拘留,案件正在进一步侦办中。同时,北京警方也指导涉事企业进一步优化防范措施,完善退费机制避免经济损失。
北京市公安局网安总队民警 张凯飞:恶意利用平台规则重复退费已涉嫌违法,根据刑法相关规定,数额较大的将面临刑事处罚,公安机关将坚决依法打击,公众如发现身边有人组织或者传授此类退费教程,请及时向平台或公安机关举报。
