Why is it called telecom fraud, not mobile phone fraud or telecom fraud?

The "telecom" in telecom fraud here refers to the real-time fraud by criminals through telephone (including mobile phones, fixed telephones and Internet phones), the Internet and short messages. Telephone fraud, online fraud and SMS fraud all fall into this category. Telecom here does not refer to China Telecom Group, but refers to fraudulent means by means of electronic information.

Let's do a question. The major of electronic information under the Computer College in university sometimes refers to the major of communication engineering, which is the so-called communication direction, and of course there are other directions.

In the domestic context, it is communication fraud, but why use the word telecom fraud? It is because this source started with 4V that the word they used has been inherited by everyone.

In China, the reference to telecommunications refers to the industry in the field of communication. Mention of telecommunications does not necessarily refer to China Telecom Group, but on the other hand, we can see how influential China Telecom is in the field of communications.

2.QQ impersonates the boss of the company for fraud: the criminals steal the QQ number used by the financial personnel by searching the QQ group of the financial personnel and using the "outline document of accounting qualification examination" as bait, analyze and judge the QQ number of the financial personnel boss, and then impersonate the company boss to send transfer and remittance instructions to the financial personnel.

In case of emergency, the parties will pay the money into the designated account according to the instructions of the suspect.
