Why is it so difficult to prevent fraud?

The cost of crime is low and the benefits are huge. Criminals use telecommunications and the Internet to commit fraud crimes without investing a lot of money, manpower and material resources. The continuous upgrade of technical means such as number-changing software and virtual number segments has greatly reduced the cost of telecommunications network fraud crimes, making it easier to commit crimes. The material conditions are easy to achieve, but the benefits obtained are many times the investment cost. ?

Victim prevention awareness and legal concepts are weak. Regardless of the form of telecommunications network fraud, the key to success is that the victim is less vigilant, neglects to take precautions, or is greedy for small profits. Even after some people find that they have been deceived, they often do not report the crime, do not report the crime in time, or do not proactively cooperate with the crackdown, etc., because the loss is not large, personal privacy is involved, face is concerned, etc. Take advantage of the opportunity.

Judicial convictions, sentencing, and penalties are relatively light and lack deterrence. ?The punishment is light? The main reason is that when sentencing such crimes, they are all sentenced according to the crime of fraud, and the law stipulates relatively high crime amounts corresponding to the three sentencing ranges of fraud crimes, resulting in the punishment of criminals being often lighter. The deterrent effect of punishment is insufficient. Therefore, faced with the temptation of low crime costs and huge profits, many criminals take the risk. How to prevent fraud

1. Don’t trust relatives when something happens to them. If you receive a call saying that your family member has been in a car accident and is undergoing surgery, and that you need to quickly transfer money to a designated account, don't believe it. ?

2. Don’t be greedy for advantages and don’t be fooled. Don't be tempted by those who strike up a conversation with you on the pretext of asking for directions and then sell you gold Buddhas, golden turtles, gold ingots or antiques at low prices. Once tempted, you will definitely be fooled.

3. Don’t be greedy and take advantage. If you see someone leaving an envelope or paper bag containing a "huge amount of money", don't pick it up. If someone picks up the wallet and offers to split it with you, don't ignore it. If you do, you will definitely be fooled.

4. Don’t be surprised when good things come your way. Don't believe in any unexpected surprises. Don't believe any so-called good things that suddenly come to you, such as scratch-off coupons, cans, text messages, free products, patent transfers, car tax refunds, etc. Remember: there is no pie in the sky, good things are often traps.

5. Be especially careful when soliciting information on investment and money-making plans or get-rich-quick schemes on the Internet or as friends via email. Do not easily believe notifications such as free gifts or winning big prizes, and do not submit any information to them. It pays any fees. ?

5. Don’t buy street drugs. Do not buy so-called panaceas, ancestral secret recipes, rare medicinal materials and other medicines sold on the streets and roadside. You should go to regular pharmacies to buy medicines.
