Expand knowledge:

Telecom fraud refers to the criminal act of fabricating false information and setting up a scam by telephone, internet, SMS, etc., and implementing remote and non-contact fraud on the victim to induce the victim to make money or transfer money.

Since the new millennium in 2000, with the development of science and technology, a series of technical tools have been developed and used. Many technicians and some civilians resort to mobile phones, fixed telephones, internet and other communication tools and modern technology to implement non-contact fraud, which can be said to be rapid development and spread, causing great losses to the people.

With the development of social informatization, the means of telecom fraud are more and more complex and diverse, and the victims are more and more extensive. The harm of telecom fraud not only directly threatens personal and property safety, but also has a great impact on the normal operation order of society.
