直到被警方联系，哈佛大学学生周玉（化名）才逐渐醒悟，自己的诚信信仰成为了他人敛财的工具。

近期，上海黄浦警方通过缜密侦查，连续破获两起以网络迷信实施诈骗的案件，涉案金额人民币130余万元。受害者中，不乏高学历人群，他们听信所谓“大师”买摆件、串珠就能够转运、挽回爱情、解决工作难题，动辄花费数千上万元不等购买“法器”。

澎湃新闻记者从民警处了解到，其中一团伙将“信仰者”用于供奉的金额全数用作挥霍，购买黄金、天珠，甚至房产等。该案件中，受害人平均年龄在35岁左右，全部学历在本科及以上。

追星族花30多万元为明星“祈福”、为自己转运

今年30岁出头的李小姐拥有高学历，在生活中和不少同龄人一样热爱追星，2021年她在一个追星群组中接触到一家销售手串、摆件的网店，店主姜某热心与她交流，并透露自己得到某“大师”真传，拥有特殊能力，能帮助转运。

随后的一段时间里，李小姐渐渐被姜某及其团队人员的花言巧语蒙蔽，除了为自己喜爱的明星“祈福”外，还经常因为家庭、学习方面的问题对姜某等人吐露心声，寻求慰藉。

在对方一系列极具诱惑性、煽动性的话术下，李小姐对姜某等人产生了信任，并在他们的“指导”下陆续开始购买串珠、摆件，当作提升运势的手段，甚至在自己通过个人努力考上某名校后还被姜某等人当作广告四处宣扬，用来招揽生意。

为了加深对李小姐的思想控制，姜某等人还编造谎言恐吓当事人，称如若不持续进行消费，就会有倒霉的事情发生，对其本人和家人健康不利。三年时间内，李小姐在姜某等人的蛊惑下，陆续花费30多万元。

今年1月，黄浦公安分局刑侦支队通过深挖分析案件资源，挖掘隐匿犯罪线索，发现一个由张某琳、姜某等人搭建的诈骗团伙，通过实施微博引流、编辑话术、维护客服、组建群组等手段，在开设的3个社交群内长期实施灌输迷信类思想，并向“信徒”吹嘘法力并诱使其出巨资购买手串、摆件等物品，涉案金额达人民币120余万元。

同时，警方成立专案组，积极开展找寻受害人、收集固定证据、人员核查落地等工作。

最初一些被害人甚至“深陷其中”，不愿意相信警方，直到被害人越来越多聚集了之后，相互交流受害经历后，才逐渐意识到自己落入圈套的事实。

哈佛博士生被骗钱还为犯罪团伙制作PPT

同样受骗的还有在哈佛大学攻读博士学位的女子周玉（化名），2015年结识姜某后一直对所谓的“尊者”深信不疑，除了受骗大量金额，还在课余时间为犯罪团伙写作网络平台行骗用的文案话术、制作PPT等。

直到被警方联系后，周玉才逐渐醒悟，自己的诚信信仰成为了他人敛财的工具，回忆起自己的被骗经历，“因为读书在学校里平时遇到的都是君子，会把骗子也当成君子，会觉得别人说的如此恳切一定是真的，不知道人的下限会如此低，对人性没有充分的认识。”周玉这样和民警说道。

另一位被骗的女子小朱（化名）则和记者讲述了自己陷入圈套的全过程，原本只是对一些宗教知识比较感兴趣，在微博上搜索浏览的过程中，刷到了一名叫做“明楽的空灵”的网友，在他的微博中有许多宗教知识，然后就开始联络进行请教。

2022年这名网友却和她说，自己被一位大师收为弟子了，摇身一变也成为了一名“尊者”，并将她拉进了一个微信群，微信群内有上百号人，每天狂热分享购买尊者产品后迎来好运的故事，每天看着看着小朱也开始相信了起来。

2023年，因为工作不顺利，非常焦虑的小朱决定前往广州散心，并且亲自去拜会一下这位“尊者”，“当时就发现尊者家里有一个佛堂，尊者给人的感觉也很奇怪，年纪不大，穿金戴银的，一见面就在不停地推销各类产品，当时感觉迷迷糊糊的。”由于自身焦虑和氛围的烘托，当天小朱就花费了4万元买了一些“法器”，至案发一共被骗了10余万元。

为了增强被害者的信念，实施“洗脑”，姜某还会要求群内的粉丝每天诵读他们编写的经文一万次，对一些怀疑他们的受害者进行诅咒，声称这些人会有报应遭到“反噬”。

2024年3月20日，黄浦警方组织警力奔赴甘肃省、广东省同步开展集中收网行动，在当地警方的协助下，成功抓获诈骗团伙成员张某琳等5人，缴获涉案手机、账目等重要证据，全链条捣毁了该诈骗团伙。

目前，犯罪嫌疑人张某琳等5人因涉嫌诈骗罪已被黄浦警方依法采取刑事强制措施，案件正在进一步侦办中。

女子为挽回男友贷款请人“做法”

女青年蔡某在网上自学所谓“星象”知识，随后便在热门短视频平台上到处给他人留言称可以帮助提升个人运势。其间，蔡某通过网络搭识了许小姐并互加为社交软件好友。

起初，蔡某以看个人运势等理由收取小许200至300元不等的报酬，2023年9月，许小姐因感情问题，情绪低落，希望改变运势，便联系了蔡某要求购买有“特殊”效果的挂件，蔡某便从网上以960元的价格进货了一块普通挂件并以17980元出售给许小姐。

事与愿违，不久许小姐因琐事与男友分手，但是她心有不甘，便希望蔡某能想办法挽回。蔡某便告诉许小姐可以通过一种特殊的方式达成心愿，并威胁受害人如果答应后又反悔，自己的身体会受到伤害。

小许信以为真，便向蔡某转账68000元。事实上，蔡某并没有什么特异功能，而是从网上下载了一些相关的视频，以此蒙混发给了许小姐。

后来，小许与现任男朋友又出现感情问题，再次联系了“法师”蔡某，蔡某网上搜索了相关词条信息，随后以转运为幌子骗取小许38000元。

其间，小许曾因无力支付而不愿意支付该笔费用，但蔡某一直灌输中途取消“做法”的危害，小许遂从网上贷款了大额款项，之后因无力偿还网贷向父母求助遂案发。

2024年1月，小许在父母的陪同下到公安机关报案。黄浦警方接报后，立即开展侦查，经过缜密分析最终锁定了犯罪嫌疑人蔡某，并组织警力于浙江嘉兴将蔡某抓获。

目前，犯罪嫌疑人蔡某因涉嫌诈骗罪被黄浦警方依法刑事拘留，案件在进一步侦办中。

新闻译文：

Pengpai News senior reporter Zhu Yiyi

Until being contacted by the police, Harvard University student Zhou Yu (pseudonym) gradually realized that his faith in integrity had become a tool for others to accumulate wealth.

Recently, the Huangpu police in Shanghai have cracked two cases of fraud committed through online superstition through meticulous investigation, involving a total amount of over 1.3 million yuan. Among the victims, there are many highly educated individuals who believe that so-called "masters" can transport, restore love, and solve work problems by buying ornaments and beads. They often spend tens of thousands of yuan to purchase "magic tools".

The reporter from Pengpai News learned from the police that one group used all the money used by "believers" for worship to squander money, buying gold, celestial beads, and even real estate. In this case, the average age of the victim is around 35 years old, and all of them have a bachelor's degree or above.

Star chasers spend over 300000 yuan to pray for the stars and bring good luck to themselves

Miss Li, who is in her early thirties this year, has a high degree and loves chasing stars in her daily life, just like many peers. In 2021, she came into contact with an online store selling bracelets and ornaments in a fan group. The store owner, Jiang, was enthusiastic about communicating with her and revealed that she had obtained a true biography of a certain "master" with special abilities that could help with transportation.

In the following period of time, Miss Li was gradually deceived by the sweet words of Jiang and her team members. In addition to praying for her favorite star, she often confided in Jiang and others for comfort due to family and academic issues.

Under a series of seductive and provocative language from the other party, Miss Li developed trust in Jiang and others, and under their guidance, she gradually began to purchase beads and ornaments as a means of boosting her luck. Even after her personal efforts to get into a prestigious school, she was promoted by Jiang and others as advertisements to attract business.

In order to deepen their ideological control over Miss Li, Jiang and others fabricated lies to intimidate the parties involved, claiming that if they did not continue to consume, bad luck would occur, which would be detrimental to their own and their family's health. within three years, Miss Li spent over 300000 yuan under the influence of Jiang and others.

In January of this year, the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Huangpu Public security Bureau conducted in-depth analysis of case resources and uncovered hidden criminal clues. They discovered a fraud gang set up by Zhang, Jiang, and others. They used methods such as Weibo drainage, editing scripts, maintaining customer service, and forming groups to instill superstitious ideas in three social groups for a long time. They also boasted about their magical power to "believers" and lured them to spend huge amounts of money to purchase bracelets, ornaments, and other items. The amount involved in the case reached more than 1.2 million yuan.

At the same time, the police have established a special task force to actively carry out work such as searching for victims, collecting fixed evidence, and personnel verification and landing.

At first, some victims were even "deeply trapped" and unwilling to trust the police. It wasn't until more and more victims gathered and exchanged their experiences of victimization that they gradually realized the fact that they had fallen into a trap.

Harvard PhD students were scammed out of money and even made PPTs for criminal gangs

Similarly, Zhou Yu (pseudonym), a woman who is pursuing a doctoral degree at Harvard University, was also deceived. After meeting Jiang in 2015, she has always believed in the so-called "venerable". In addition to being defrauded of a large amount of money, she also wrote copy scripts and made PPTs for online platforms used by criminal gangs in her spare time.

Until being contacted by the police, Zhou Yu gradually realized that his faith in integrity had become a tool for others to accumulate wealth. He recalled his experience of being deceived, "Because in school, everyone he met was a gentleman, and he would also treat scammers as gentlemen. He would think that what others said so sincerely must be true. He didn't know that the lower limit of a person would be so low, and he didn't have a full understanding of human nature," Zhou Yu told the police.

Another woman who was deceived, Xiao Zhu (pseudonym), told the reporter about the whole process of falling into a trap. Originally, she was only interested in some religious knowledge. During the process of searching and browsing on Weibo, she came across a netizen named "Mingle's Void" who had a lot of religious knowledge on his Weibo account, and then began to contact for advice.

In 2022, this netizen told her that she had been taken in as a disciple by a master and transformed into an "Venerable". She also pulled her into a WeChat group, where there were hundreds of people who enthusiastically shared stories of good luck after purchasing Venerable products every day. Watching Xiao Zhu every day, she began to believe in her.

In 2023, due to work difficulties, Xiaozhu, who was very anxious, decided to go to Guangzhou to relax and personally pay a visit to the "Venerable". "At that time, he found that there was a Buddhist temple at the Venerable's home, and the Venerable gave a strange feeling. He was not very old, wearing gold and silver, and was constantly promoting various products when he met. At that time, he felt dizzy." Due to his own anxiety and the atmosphere, Xiaozhu spent 40000 yuan to buy some "magical tools" that day, and as of the incident, he was deceived for more than 100000 yuan. ".

In order to strengthen the beliefs of the victims and implement "brainwashing", Jiang will also require fans in the group to recite their written scriptures 10000 times a day, curse some victims who suspect them, and claim that these people will have retribution and be "backfired".

On March 20, 2024, the Huangpu police organized police forces to rush to Gansu Province and Guangdong Province to simultaneously carry out a centralized network collection operation. With the assistance of the local police, they successfully arrested five members of the fraud gang, including Zhang Moulin, and seized important evidence such as the involved mobile phone and accounts, and dismantled the entire chain of the fraud gang.

At present, five people, including suspect Zhang Moulin, have been taken criminal coercive measures by Huangpu police according to law for suspected fraud, and the case is under further investigation.

The woman hired someone to "do it" to recover her boyfriend's loan

Young woman Cai self studied so-called "astrology" knowledge online, and then left messages everywhere on popular short video platforms claiming that it can help improve her personal fortune. During this time, Cai met Miss Xu through the internet and added each other as social media friends.

At first, Cai charged Xiao Xu a reward ranging from 200 to 300 yuan based on personal fortune and other reasons. In September 2023, due to emotional issues and a desire to change her fortune, Miss Xu contacted Cai and requested to purchase a pendant with a "special" effect. Cai then purchased a regular pendant online for 960 yuan and sold it to Miss Xu for 17980 yuan.

Unfortunately, Miss Xu broke up with her boyfriend soon after due to trivial matters. However, she felt unwilling and hoped that Cai could find a way to salvage the situation. Cai told Miss Xu that she could achieve her wish through a special way and threatened the victim that if she agreed and then withdrew, her body would be harmed.

Xiao Xu believed it to be true and transferred 68000 yuan to Cai. In fact, Cai did not have any special abilities, but downloaded some related videos from the internet to deceive and send them to Miss Xu.

Later, Xiaoxu and his current boyfriend had emotional problems again and contacted the "wizard" Cai. Cai searched for relevant information online and then used the pretext of transportation to deceive Xiaoxu into earning 38000 yuan.

During this period, Xiaoxu was once unwilling to pay the fee due to his inability to do so, but Cai kept instilling in him the danger of canceling the "practice" halfway through. Xiaoxu then borrowed a large amount of money online, and later sought help from his parents due to his inability to repay the online loan, leading to the incident.

In January 2024, Xiaoxu, accompanied by his parents, reported to the public security organs. After receiving the report, the Huangpu police immediately carried out investigation. After careful analysis, they finally locked down the suspect Cai, and organized the police to capture Cai in Jiaxing, Zhejiang.

At present, the suspect Cai has been detained by the Huangpu police in accordance with the law for suspected fraud, and the case is under further investigation.
