Why Internet Fraud? So rampant?

Why are Internet frauds so common? Have you ever found the reasons from the system, legislation, and yourself?

1. National legislation lags behind. All frauds involve the use of false bank account numbers and phone numbers. This has seriously violated the "Resident Identity Card Law of the People's Republic of China". Why does the country not introduce laws to restrict the legal responsibilities of banks and communication operators? If in a fraud case, the bank or communication provider fails to fulfill its responsibility to verify the consistency of the account holder's information on the bank account and phone number used by the criminal, the two parties will share the compensation for all economic losses, and this will not be predicated on the public security organs solving the case. If this really happens, telecom fraud and Internet fraud will completely disappear across the country.

All telecommunications frauds and Internet frauds are full of loopholes, and public security agencies and news media at all levels have repeatedly publicized them for years.

Our country’s crime detection rate is actually It's not high, but it's not very low either. As for the data, it's hard to say. The data will be very high. This is a problem directed by superiors.

In fact, most people who are deceived are Internet novices who know nothing about many Internet common senses. Don’t be angry. This is The prevailing status quo.
