As a victim, actively contacting the police and providing as much and detailed information as possible will help to catch criminals as soon as possible and recover losses. If the police don't make progress in a short time, don't be too anxious, wait patiently, learn a lesson, and don't be deceived again.
Whether the cheated money can be refunded depends on whether the case can be detected and whether the criminal suspect's money has been squandered. If the case cannot be solved or the stolen money is squandered, it cannot be returned, otherwise it can be returned to the victim.
