Telecom fraud refers to the criminal behavior that criminals fabricate false information and set up scams by telephone, internet, SMS, etc., and implement remote and non-contact fraud on the victims to induce the victims to remit or transfer money to the criminals.
Telecom fraud is a crime with low cost and high return. Fraud is very simple and easy to spread and imitate. A few days ago, there was a case in which a criminal spent 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to buy a short message transmitter, and in just over a month, he cheated tens of thousands of dollars, and people in more than a dozen provinces were cheated. It can be said that this is a form of crime with low investment and high return. In this case, of course, many lawless elements have done it.
