If for the purpose of illegal possession, using fictional facts or concealing the truth to defraud others of their money, it is fraud. If the amount of fraud is relatively large, it is a crime of fraud, and it 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.

If it does not meet the standard of a large amount of fraud, it generally does not constitute a crime and can be punished by the public security organs.
