The police found that the fraud gang was operating outside the countryCinemaA Babaylan cultural communication company secretly pretends to be a volunteer in Buddhist temples, and commits fraud by selling Buddhist products and pushing Buddhist activities. The fraud gang has clear hierarchy and clear division of labor. It has a new media operation department and five business groups in its operation. The New Media Operations Department is responsible for producing and editing Buddhist activities videos downloaded from the Internet, and the Business Group is responsible for posting the videos to the platform Cinema to the platform Komiks to stream fans to WeChat to add friends to commit fraud.

He had free Buddhist scriptures and beads (giving customers Buddhist products). The believers could receive the product by paying the express fee at will.
