東莞500警圍捕「神仙」
(明報)2011年1月11日
【明報專訊】廣東東莞市公安局日前展開大規劃「嚴打」行動，出動500多名警員於萬江區查處不法，重點對象包括當地假借「生神仙」之名招搖撞騙、以迷信斂財的「祈福黨」。一夜之間，鬼神辟易，53個名為「神仙」實為「神棍」的騙徒被拘捕。

據《東莞時報》報道，萬江區於1月8日凌晨開始的「嚴打」行動，是東莞市去年底展開「粵安11」專項整治行動後首次大規模集中搜捕行動，由東莞市公安局長崔建帶領，抽調萬江19個公安分局及武警等警力500多人，目標是打擊區內一個藉迷信詐騙的犯罪集團，最後成功拘留53名疑犯。

專騙中老年婦 自稱能醫百病

據了解，這個犯罪集團成員多來自湖南，其行騙手法近似本港曾流行一時的「祈福黨」。他們以中老年婦女為目標，藉辭自己是「生神仙」、「活神醫」，可以消災解難，醫治奇難雜症來騙財。

警方指出，過去兩年該集團活躍於廣州、深圳 、惠州、中山、佛山、東莞等地，僅東莞便涉案百宗以上。他們利用中、老年婦女迷信的心理，由其中一名成員扮成熱心街坊與受害者搭訕，再訛稱自己認識「神仙」，介紹給受害人認識；之後，假扮「神仙」的騙子會以算命、消災等理由，要求受害者捐出錢財「祈福消災」。而為求逼真，扮街坊的成員還會抱著嬰兒來掩人耳目，降低受害人警戒心。

「祈福黨」騙32萬「消災」

去年1月，他們便曾以消災為由，騙走了一名受害人6萬元人民幣及2萬多元人民幣的金銀首飾；兩個月後，另一名受害者更因誤信「神仙」之言，一下子被騙走了32萬元人民幣，損失慘重。東莞警方稱，早在幾個月前已開始跟蹤調查這批疑犯。為蒐集情報，警方3個月前於疑犯聚居地方附近的臭水溝出口，以施工為名建起簡易板房，板房四周開了多個小孔，警員就躲在板房內，記錄「神仙」的一舉一動，最後將他們一網成擒。

According to information, the police were targeting a group whose members came mainly from Hunan province. These people targeted middle-aged and old women. They claimed to be "Living Gods" and "Living Miraculous Doctors" who can dispel bad fortune and cure rare diseases.

Over the past two years, this group was highly active in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Weizhou, Zhongshan, Foshan, Dongguan, etc. There were more than 100 cases reported in Dongguan alone. These people took advantage of the superstitious beliefs of middle-aged and old women. One of the members introduce herself as a kind neighbor and chat with the victim. Sometimes, she will even cradle a baby in her arms in order to reduce suspicion. She claims to know a "Living God" whom she introduces to the victim. Then this "Living God" will ask the victim to donate money to "receive blessings and dispel bad luck."

Last January, they took 60,000 yuan in cash and more than 20,000 yuan worth of jewelry from one victim. Two months later, another victim lost 320,000 yuan. According to the police, they began to track this group several months ago. Three months ago, the police pretended to be construction workers and built a wooden shack near where the group members were staying. The wooden shack had many holes in the walls through which the police recorded every move of these "Living Gods." Then the police tightened the net and arrested 53 suspects.
