Today (14th), at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office, relevant persons in charge of the Ministry of Public Security, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the People's Bank of China introduced the crackdown on telecommunications and network fraud over the past year. work measures and results.
Liu Zhongyi, director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that although the crackdown on telecommunications network fraud has achieved significant results over the past year and the rapid rise in cases has been effectively curbed, the crime situation remains severe and complex. From the perspective of combating and governance practices, telecommunications network fraud is not a simple social security issue, but a complex social governance problem. With the continuous deepening of the crackdown and governance work, some new changes and new characteristics have appeared in telecommunications network fraud crimes:
. First, the new network crime has become a mainstream crime. In recent years, with the rapid development of the information society, major changes have occurred in the crime structure. Traditional crimes have continued to decline. New cyber crimes represented by telecommunications network fraud have become mainstream crimes and have become a severe challenge faced by public security agencies. Although such cases have shown a downward trend over the past year under the severe crackdown and high pressure, the number of cases is still at a high level and the situation remains grim and complex. Currently, the number of telecommunications network fraud cases in major developed countries in the world is also growing rapidly. Especially under the background of the COVID-19 epidemic, people's work and life have accelerated their shift to the Internet, further exacerbating the high incidence of cases. telecommunications network fraud crimes have become a global phenomenon. The problem of crackdown management.
The second is deceptive tactics to accelerate iterative changes. Fraud syndicates keep up with social hot spots and change their fraud techniques and "words" at any time. They are highly deceptive and the people can easily be deceived. Fraud groups target different groups, tailor fraud scripts based on illegally obtained accurate personal information, and carry out precise fraud. There are now more than 50 types of fraud discovered by the public security organs, among which online bill rebates, fake investment and financial management, fake online loans, impersonating customer service, and impersonating public prosecutors are the five main types of fraud. Since last year, there has been a high incidence of cases in which people were first defrauded of the trust of the public through fake orders and rebates, and then diverted to false investment platforms to commit fraud. The number of cases and losses were both above 30%, and major cases of more than one million yuan being defrauded have occurred from time to time.
Third, the offensive and defensive confrontation continues to intensify and escalate. Fraudulent groups use new technologies and new business formats such as blockchain, virtual currency , AI intelligence, GOIP, remote control, and screen sharing to continuously update and upgrade criminal tools. The offensive and defensive confrontation with public security agencies in communications networks, transfers, and money laundering continues to intensify. upgrade. From the perspective of communication network channels, the use of fake apps to commit fraud has accounted for 60% of all cases. A large number of frauds have begun to be committed using speed dial, VPN, cloud voice calling, and foreign operators’ calling cards, SMS platforms, and communication lines. From the perspective of capital channels, the proportion of traditional three-party payment and public account money laundering has been reduced. A large number of money laundering uses benchmark platforms plus digital currency , especially the use of USDT ( Tether ), which is the most harmful. The public security organs, together with relevant departments, have always been battling fraudsters and constantly studying and adjusting preventive measures to ensure that they always maintain the initiative.
Fourth, the characteristics of transnational organizations are becoming increasingly obvious. Fraud syndicates are well-organized and have clear division of labor, showing the characteristics of transnational organized crime such as multi-industry support, industrial distribution, group operations, refined division of labor, and cross-border layout. The leaders and backbones of the group often hide abroad, using the guise of high-paying recruitment to lure and recruit inexperienced young people to engage in fraudulent activities abroad. Currently, they are in Cambodia, Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Northern Myanmar In other countries and regions, there are still a large number of criminal gangs committing fraud against our citizens. The group leader uses overseas chat software to direct domestic personnel to engage in various illegal crimes such as app production and development, traffic promotion, buying and selling information, transfer and money laundering. The domestic and overseas connections are closely connected, and the characteristics of transnational organized crime are becoming increasingly obvious.
