If you are defrauded online, you can report the case directly to the local public security agency. If the case is filed for investigation by the public security agency and the criminal suspect is captured, the money defrauded can be recovered. But if it takes too long, or the suspect cannot be caught, the chance of recovering the defrauded money is very small. With the development and popularization of the Internet, more and more scammers are transferring their methods of committing crimes to the Internet platform, so people who are not defensive can easily be deceived online. Some scammers are so hateful that they will directly ask for money from each other in the form of dating. What's more, when the victim's trust is gained, the victim is allowed to invest or gamble online, which directly causes the victim to lose a large amount of property. Being defrauded online is a criminal case, and the victim cannot ask for money by going to court to sue. Even if the parties involved can sue in court, they will not be able to obtain real information about the criminal suspect. Therefore, reporting the crime to the public security organ is the only way to recover the money that was defrauded. If the criminal suspect is caught and has the ability to return the money defrauded, he is generally willing to do so. Because the criminal suspect's behavior of returning compensation can reduce his sentencing and punishment. All in all, if you are defrauded online, you must report it to the local public security bureau. The earlier you report the case, the greater the possibility of recovering the money you defrauded. In addition, victims must also trust the public security organs and other judicial organs, and do not trust other advertisements that help people recover money, so as not to be deceived again. According to Article 266 of the Criminal Law, whoever defrauds public or private property and the amount is relatively large shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance, and may also be fined; if the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, or a fine alone; The offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than ten years, and shall also be fined; if the amount is particularly huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or his property shall be confiscated.
