Online fraud can be reported to the police, which is the method that should be adopted. The reasons are as follows: 1. First of all, it needs to be clear that when encountering online fraud, calling the police is definitely more effective than not calling the police; 2. If the amount of fraud has reached the filing amount, the public security organs will file a case against you; 3. If the amount of fraud does not reach the filing amount, the public security organs will file the case after calling the police. If there are other victims, the public security organs will open a case for investigation based on the circumstances of the case, the amount involved, and the scope of the case. 4. According to the general rules of Internet fraud, fraudsters usually commit fraud multiple times. Even if there is only one fraud, administrative sanctions may be imposed even if criminal penalties cannot be imposed. If a case is resolved to recover the stolen money, the victim may also receive the money they were defrauded from.
