First, do lawyers play a small role in fraud cases?
Lawyers play an important role in fraud cases, and it is very helpful to entrust a lawyer. The Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that during the first interrogation by the investigative agency, the parties have the right to entrust a lawyer to defend themselves.
1. Entrusting a lawyer in a timely manner will help the lawyer understand the case situation and better formulate a defense strategy, which is very helpful in mitigating or avoiding penalties.
2. After entrusting a lawyer, you can meet with the client. The client can entrust the lawyer to contact the family members to let the family members understand the circumstances of the client's detention.
3. Lawyers can collect evidence related to the case, review case files, and provide legal advice to the client to persuade the client to abandon the lawsuit.
Although the case has not been sentenced, it is not a big deal to hire a lawyer. Lawyers will provide necessary assistance to clients based on their professional legal knowledge, which is very helpful in safeguarding the interests of clients.
Second, is it useful to report online fraud?
1. First of all, it needs to be clear that in case of 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 agency will file a case against you. ;

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.
Internet fraud refers to the behavior of using the Internet to fabricate facts or conceal the truth for the purpose of illegal possession, and to defraud large amounts of public and private property.
