Lookout circular issued against 3 Chinese nationals in fraud loan app scam
www.thestatesman.com
On the request of the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Odisha police, Bureau of Immigration (BOI) has issued a lookout circular against three Chinese nationals for their alleged involvement in a mobile loan app scam, police said on Sunday.
The three accused have been identified as Shen Zhenhua allies Tony of Jiangsu, Quan Hongwei allies Paul of Jiangsu and Yang Haiying allies Doris of Sichuan, China.
They are the mastermind and main accused in a case registered against Kredit Gold loan app. This is the second illegal loan app case investigated by EOW. There are more than one lakh victims of Kredit Gold loan app across the country including many from Odisha, the EOW officials said.
The officials suspect that the Chinese nationals are also running a similar scam in countries like Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh.
“They also have links in the US and Hong Kong. They are in the process of expanding their financial criminal network in African and Middle East countries,” said the EOW.
The mastermind operates in India in connivance with many shell companies and Indians are made directors of these companies. They also take help from some unscrupulous officials of mobile companies, chartered accountant/company secretary, fintech companies, recovery agents/ call centers etc., it said.
The Odisha police also suspect that these accused, along with some other Chinese group, are running hundreds of illegal digital loan apps and extorting/abusing/ mentally torturing lakhs of innocent loanees mainly from lower middle-class.
The EOW informed that it will move Interpol through proper channels for extradition of these criminals to India and also to alert law enforcement agencies of other concerned countries.
It has already arrested several persons in connection with a fake loan app scam and written twice to Google to take down the illegal apps from its play store.
It has also requested RBI to impress upon Google for early taking down of the illegal apps and requested Registrar of Companies to inquire and take necessary action against suspected shell companies.
Earlier, the Bureau of Immigration had issued a look out circular against Liu Yi, another Chinese national and main accused in another case registered by the EOW police against mobile loan app scam.
It's very sad that India lets these Chinese in and this is how they behave.
