What happens if you are suspected of telecom fraud?

Fraud does not meet the standards for criminal filing, and public security punishment shall be given. If the amount of fraud reaches a large standard, it constitutes a crime of fraud and is given criminal punishment.

The sentencing standards for telecom fraud are as follows:

1. If the amount of the crime is small and has not caused serious consequences, it shall be minor and sentenced to criminal detention, public surveillance or fine;

2. If the amount of crime is relatively large, resulting in certain economic losses or other serious circumstances, it is a general circumstance and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention and fined;

3. If the amount of crime is huge, or serious economic losses are caused, or there are other serious and bad circumstances, the circumstances are serious, and they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and fined;

4. If the amount of crime is especially huge, or especially heavy economic losses are caused, or there are other particularly serious and bad circumstances, the circumstances are serious, and they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than seven years and fined;

5. If more than one person participates in the same crime, or participates in organizing, leading or participating in organized crime of underworld nature, the judgment will be different.

Common telecom fraud means include the following:

1. Pretending to be a staff member of the public security law: A liar pretends to be a staff member of the public security law and asks the victim for personal information or property in the name of investigation, investigation and mediation;

2. Pretending to be a bank employee: the fraudster pretends to be a bank employee, and in the name of "account abnormality" and "risk warning", guides the victim to call or click on the link "operation" to implement fraud;

3. False winning information: The swindler told the victim that he had won the grand prize by SMS or telephone, and asked the victim to pay various fees such as taxes, but actually did not win the prize;

4. False recruitment information: The swindler publishes false recruitment information, collects various fees such as "registration fee" and "interview fee" from job seekers, and finally refuses to hire or recruit;

5. Online shopping fraud: The scammer lures the victim to make online shopping through fake online stores and fake brands, but does not deliver goods or send fakes after paying the payment.

To sum up, the above judgment results are for reference only and may be different according to the specific situation. Moreover, telecom fraud is a very serious crime. I suggest you stay away from this kind of behavior to avoid breaking the law.
