Previously reported
Recently, it was rumored on the Internet that the person in charge of the 9958 Children's Emergency Rescue Center project under the China Children's Charity Rescue Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the China Children's Charity Rescue Association) defrauded the families of the children in the name of "matching donations" and swept away tens of millions of donations.
According to some of the victims, they were sending money to private accounts, and at first they did return more money, so many people joined. But by the end of August this year, many family members realized that they might have been scammed when they discovered that the promised funds had not been returned.

It is understood that in the matching donation project led by Ke Mouxiao, the matching donation must be collected by a number of "middlemen", and the scattered funds of the child's family members will be collected into a large amount of funds, and finally transferred to Ke Mouxiao's personal account. For each parent of a patient who is recruited by these "middlemen" to participate in the matching donation project, they can receive a certain amount of rebates, ranging from as little as two or three hundred yuan to as much as five or six hundred yuan.
