If you are the deceived party, because everyone is not a professional legal person, there is a certain lack of necessary elements and evidence collection standards for the case. At this time, asking a lawyer for help can play a certain role. At the same time, the public security organs investigate the criminal offences of fraudsters in our country, and also collect the evidence information of the cases. If it is to better safeguard their own rights and interests, you can conduct multi-party information consultation. Finally decide whether to consult a lawyer.
Lawyers are people who have passed the legal professional qualification examination and have high professional quality. When encountering similar fraud, you can consult relevant lawyers, seek their legal help, choose according to the services they provide, and see if you need to seek the help of lawyers in the follow-up process of the case. You can also consult the public security organ when reporting a case to the public security organ, and whether you need to seek the help of a lawyer. Of course, if the amount involved is relatively large and your legal reserves are relatively weak, it is a good choice to find a lawyer.
According to Article 266 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) (revised on 20 17): {Fraud}, whoever swindles public or private property in a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also or only be fined; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated. Where there are other provisions in this Law, such provisions shall prevail.
In today's information technology era, there have been various forms of fraud cases, among which the proportion of online fraud is increasing, and the investigation, investigation, prosecution and trial of fraud cases are all dominated by state public power, so it is necessary to report the case to the relevant local public security organs at the first time. The public security organ will generally record the relevant contents of your report, issue an alarm receipt, and record your contact information, so as to contact you at any time during the investigation of subsequent cases.
Of course, there are other derivative crimes of fraud, such as being cheated in signing and performing contracts, money laundering, fund-raising fraud, bill fraud, letter of credit fraud, securities fraud, insurance fraud, contract fraud and so on.
