On April 24, 2021, the Public Security Bureau of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, China, issued an emergency alert about a fraudster using the “Learn Strong” app to defraud a user of more than one million dollars.
The app, which is said to be the most downloaded cell phone software in China, is used as a medium for money fraud. The fraudsters first register with their real names to gain the trust of other followers, and then set up investment or betting traps to cheat them. The commentator said that “Learning to be strong” as a “brainwashing project”, the harm to the people is much more than monetary losses. (By Wu Yitong/Cheng Wen)
The public security bureau of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, issued an “emergency warning” on its official microblogging site on Saturday (24), announcing a case of investment and wealth management telecom fraud using the “Learning Power” app in its jurisdiction, involving a single amount of more than one million yuan.
The announcement said: fraudsters use real-name registration to gain the trust of others, and then induce friends in the platform to participate in fake investment or gambling, and the victim will be immediately blacked out when he finds out he has been cheated.
The incident sparked discussions in some social media, and Club House’s active netizen, “Shuang Yue Wei Peng,” told the station that because the “Learning Power” software exports ideology to users in one direction, and the authorities value the performance of the number of subscribers, the “Learning Power” platform is more popular than other live streaming platforms. The real-name authentication of “Learning Power” is not strict compared to other live-streaming platforms, which gives scammers an opportunity to take advantage of it. He said that China’s requirement for “real-name authentication” of social networking software in the country, in the name of fighting crime, is in fact a response to dissident speech.
Although many of the Chinese Communist Party’s software requires real-name authentication, it only requires the strictest real-name authentication for software that threatens its rule,” said “Shuang Yue Wei Peng. On the contrary, the real-name authentication of software such as “Learn to be strong” is actually not strict, and it is estimated that at most the cell phone number is uploaded and the front and back of the ID card is verified, so that the scammers can find someone else’s ID card online to register and pass the real-name authentication and thus carry out fraud. Netizens feel that this is a party-friendly software and real-name authentication, he will only be cheated, the pot is to be borne by the Chinese Communist Party.
French commentator Wang Longmeng supports the victims to claim compensation from the CCP. But he also mentioned that netizens were cheated because they believed that loving the Party and Xi Jinping would lead to promotion and wealth. He believes that the long-term brainwashing of the Chinese Communist Party has left the nation’s intelligence and value orientation in doubt.
Wang Longmeng said: “Learning Power is known as the most downloaded app in China, so many Chinese people should be brainwashed, and real-name registration is more like putting electronic handcuffs on them. In the final analysis, this account should be counted on “Learning Strong” and the whole big promoter behind it, and the deceived netizens should claim compensation from the CCP authorities.
The head of “Wall Country Frog Clam”, a social media site that often mocks Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist regime, pointed out that it is the “big liar” who controls the thoughts and actions of the people. He believes that those who dare to move the earth on the head of the “taiyang” are undoubtedly overseas.
The person in charge of “Wall Country Frog Clam” said: First of all, I think the fraudsters are “very brave” to dare to work in the world’s largest fraud group – the strongest fraud arranged by the Chinese Communist Party. APP – Learning Power – the world’s largest scamming group. Therefore, I personally guess that these fraudsters are located outside the country, so they dare to take chestnuts from the fire under the eyes of the big brother, and even cheat 6 or 7 figures at a time.
He also ridiculed the authorities to build a firewall for the “Learning Power” software to prevent the use of foreign IPs.
The person in charge of the “Wall Country Frog Clam” said: “I suggest they build a firewall for the “Learning Power”, no foreign IPs are allowed to use it! On the one hand, this can effectively stop the fraudulent behavior, and strongly maintain the clear “positive energy” atmosphere of “Learning Power APP”. On the other hand, it can also prevent “foreign journalists who have nothing better to do” from collecting the latest and most complete brainwashing material on the “Learning Power” app, and thus observe the real-time speed of Xi Jinping’s new era of backtracking. The simple construction of a wall has easily achieved the effect of “win-win-win twice”!
The public is aware of the need to protect themselves against telecommunication fraud, and the public officials who are using the “Learning Power” app are also aware of the need to take the initiative to avoid being cheated.
The announcement did not reveal whether the scammed parties were public officials.
The station called the Nanchong Public Security Bureau, the duty officer said he did not know.
“Learning Power” went online on New Year’s Day 2019, mainly promoting Xi Jinping’s thoughts and political achievements. With the official push, it claimed to be the most downloaded app in China at the end of that month, surpassing both Jitterbug and WeChat.
In October of that year, the U.S. Open Technology Fund, in cooperation with the German cybersecurity company Cure53, released a report saying that the Chinese Communist authorities not only used the software to create “brainwashing projects,” but also to retrieve information, photos, contacts and browsing history of more than 100 million users. It can even activate the phone’s recording function at any time.
