Finally, this behavior violates relevant laws and regulations. my country's "Criminal Law", "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" and other laws and regulations have clearly stipulated the behavior of pretending to be a staff member of a state agency to commit fraud. Once verified, the relevant personnel will be held legally responsible in accordance with the law.
