Someone sent me a message that Article 288 of the Criminal Law Amendment (IX) of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulated the crime of disturbing the order of radio communication management.

If you receive a similar message, don't believe it, and don't click on the link, because nine times out of ten it is a trap set by a phishing website, which may have Trojan software installed, and criminals will take the opportunity to hijack the mobile phone, which will eventually lead to the bank card being stolen. "Fraud in the form of illegal text messages. The public security organs will never send these short messages to people, let alone have so-called links.

Similar short messages may be sent by criminals using pseudo base stations. A pseudo base station is a pseudo base station. Equipment generally consists of a host computer and a notebook computer. Through the SMS sender, SMS sender and other related equipment, you can search the mobile phone card information centered on it within a certain radius. By pretending to be the operator's base station, using someone else's mobile phone number, forcibly sending short messages such as fraud and advertisements to the user's mobile phone.

From the above explanation, we can see the working principle of the pseudo base station, that is, using the purchased pseudo base station to transmit signals, pretending to be the base station of the operator, occupying the normal communication frequency, forcibly accessing the communication users within a certain range, and then randomly compiling a group of numbers as "numbers" to send advertisements and sales short messages to the accessed users' mobile phones.

According to the provisions of Article 11 of the Regulations on Radio Management in People's Republic of China (PRC), units and individuals who set up and use radio stations must submit a written application, go through the examination and approval procedures for setting up a radio station and obtain a radio station license.

Setting up and using a radio station without a radio station license has affected the normal communication order of the country and hindered the social management order. It has constituted a crime of disturbing the order of radio communication management and should be punished. The court should sentence or punish according to the seriousness of the crime.

In recent years, the state has made more and more efforts to crack down on "pseudo base stations", but there are still a few lawless elements who can't stand the temptation of interests and take risks and embark on illegal roads. The prosecutor hereby reminds that it is a criminal act to send advertising messages using "pseudo base stations", so don't be lucky.
