Name of telecom network fraud techniques

Telecom network fraud techniques are called as follows:

1. Fraud by pretending to be an acquaintance. The suspect called the victim's phone number and pretended to be acquaintances, friends or acquaintances from other places, and falsely claimed that he was on a business trip. He was involved in a car accident, was caught for prostitution or gambling, or had a family member in the hospital, etc., and asked the victim to make money through bank remittance.

2. Lottery information fraud. The suspect took advantage of the victim's luck in getting rich through speculation and sent false winning information to the platform through the Internet, text messages, phone calls, scratch cards, letters and other media, and then defrauded money by charging handling fees, deposits, postage, and taxes.

3. Online shopping fraud. The suspect posted false and cheap product information on the Internet. Once the victim contacted him, he asked for advance payment of "advance deposit", "handling fee", "shipping fee", etc., and defrauded the money through bank ATM machines.

4. Loan fraud. The suspects target groups in need of small loans and send false loan information through the Internet, phone calls, text messages, etc. Once a victim contacts them, they defraud the victim of money in the name of collecting the lender's deposit, interest, etc.
