Woman’s cell phone number leaked: How much for one night?

Since November 27, Ms. Zhang, a resident of Jiyuan, has frequently received harassing phone calls or text messages asking "how much is it for one night" and other similar inexplicable things. She had no choice but to turn off her phone. There are five other women in Jiyuan who have had the same experience as Ms. Zhang, and they have reported the incident to the local public security authorities.

I received a lot of harassing calls and had to turn off my phone.

Yesterday afternoon, 28-year-old Ms. Zhang told reporters that since November 27, her mobile phone has received harassing calls asking "how much is it per night" and similar questions. She did not pay attention to it at the time, but for several days in a row, her mobile phone kept receiving such calls, including those from Beijing, Fujian, Zhejiang, Xinxiang, Luoyang and Zhengzhou in the province, and she received many harassing text messages, so she had no choice but to turn off her phone.

"During those days, I thought about changing my mobile phone number, but it didn't make sense." Ms. Zhang said that she is a businesswoman and has to answer many business calls every day. Besides, she has used this mobile phone number for seven years. All the businesses such as her family's car, house, insurance, etc. require this mobile phone number. Even if she changes it, it will not be solved in a day or two.

After investigation, it was found that more than 130 people had the same experience.

Ms. Zhang also received a text message from a woman named Ms. Chang who had the same experience as her. Ms. Chang said that she received a harassing call and asked the other party where he knew her mobile phone number. The other party said that he knew it from a pornographic QQ group.

Ms. Chang joined this QQ group and found the person who sent her mobile phone number to the group called "Fuel Bicycle".

In a private chat with the "Fuel Bicycle", I learned that his real name was Li Moumou, and he worked in the coal preparation workshop of a certain enterprise in Jiyuan, and also sold fuel bicycles.

Ms. Chang said that there are more than 130 women who have had the same experience as her, and she has contacted five of them in Jiyuan. She plans to unite the victimized sisters and sue Li together.

The victim found the person who posted the information and reported it to the police

At 12:00 noon on December 1, Ms. Zhang went to the Qinyuan Police Station of the Jiyuan Public Security Bureau to report the case. At about 2:00 p.m. that day, Ms. Zhang found Li on QQ and pretended to want to buy a fuel-powered bicycle to meet with Li.

Ms. Zhang said that at 6 p.m. that day, after she saw Li, she called 110 to report to the police, and the police took Li to the Jishui Police Station of the Jiyuan Municipal Public Security Bureau.

At the Jishui Police Station, she saw that the arrested Li had more than 100 pornographic QQ groups on his phone. Li had sent her phone number to these pornographic QQ groups.

Ms. Zhang said that the Jishui Police Station released Li at around 8 p.m. on December 2. So far, the public security authorities have not taken any other measures against him.

Lawyers say victims can report to police or sue

Ms. Zhang said she didn't know where Li got her mobile phone number. On the afternoon of December 5, the relevant person in charge of the Jiyuan Municipal Public Security Bureau said that the local police station had intervened in the matter and was currently investigating.

In this regard, Kang Yawei, a lawyer from Henan Shouding Law Firm, believes that Li's behavior has violated the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China" and the local public security organs should impose sanctions in accordance with the law. At the same time, Li also constitutes a privacy infringement. After obtaining evidence, the victim can go to the local court to sue and request necessary economic and mental compensation.

Lawyer Kang Yawei said that local public security organs or victims can send a notice to the website that published the victim's information, informing it to stop the infringement and to remedy the adverse effects caused by the infringement.
