The police will call you or send you a text message when handling a case.

Legal analysis: the case-handling organ contacts citizens by telephone, text message, etc., usually as a witness to assist the investigation. Mainly to find someone to talk to and understand the relevant situation. It is impossible to directly ask citizens to transfer property protection or pay any fines and fees by phone or SMS. Anyone who makes such a request is suspected of fraud.

Public security or procuratorial organs and other case-handling organs will inevitably introduce their own units, their names and the basic reasons for talking to people when notifying witnesses of telephone conversations, and ask you to assist in the investigation according to law. If citizens are required to pay fines or transfer property, they must show their work permits and law enforcement certificates on the spot, and must show relevant legal documents, and more than two staff members must be present.

Legal basis: Article 122 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), investigators may question witnesses on the spot or at the unit, residence or place proposed by the witness. When necessary, the witness may be notified to testify in a people's procuratorate or a public security organ. When questioning witnesses on the spot, they should show their work certificates, and when questioning witnesses at their units, residences or places proposed by witnesses, they should show their certificates from people's procuratorates or public security organs.

The questioning of witnesses should be conducted separately.
