Guo Guowen said that the fraudulent groups are not only becoming more and more industrialized, but their methods are also becoming more and more vicious, and even the "prisoner incident" occurred, which became a replica of the Cambodian incident. All government ministries should conduct a comprehensive crackdown on fraud. In addition to the flow of money, various methods should be used to prevent the criminals from succeeding.

Huang Shijie said that to curb fraud crimes, we should cut off sources such as financial management tools and personal information protection as soon as possible.

He gave an example. At present, the Financial Supervisory Commission only has a 24-hour loading time for the warning account. It is difficult for the judicial police to investigate the evidence in a short period of time. After the time passes, the cash flow can be transferred quickly to avoid tracking. Close the loopholes and respond to specific cash flows in question.

Zhang Honglu pointed out that the data show that if the bank is defrauded, the average transfer is 17 minutes, and 3.5 transfers can be made in an hour. It is not easy to recover the cash flow, and the average number of days for the victim to realize that he has been defrauded is about 43 days. For a few days, he will think that it is investment and borrowing, which will cause a time difference. The bank and the police department must share information immediately to prevent fraud and speed up the efficiency of cash flow recovery. It is also necessary to strengthen the promotion of what is fraud.

Tang Huizhen said that in recent years, fraud crimes have been rampant in Taiwan, and the number of fraud cases has remained high. One of the reasons is that the criminal responsibility is too light. There are more "stolen" than "punished", so she believes that increasing the criminal responsibility and strengthening the recovery of the property of the defrauded folks can demonstrate the government's determination to crack down on fraudulent groups and the warmth of vowing to protect the people.

Zhong Jiabin said that according to statistics, online investment fraud accounts for about 20%, online shopping fraud accounts for more than 20%, cancellation of installment payment accounts for 16%, and other 40%.

He also analyzed the "six hearts" that are the key to the success of fraud. Among them, the "core" is the leakage of personal information, and the "unintentional" government agencies cause serious consequences. and "careless".

In such cases, the competent authorities must act.

Zhong Jiabin said that according to the 165 anti-fraud hotline of the police department, 145 cases were reported and transferred, among which the database was hacked and there were competent authorities. cases, 0 cases of administrative penalty.

Administrative agencies should regularly conduct personal information security checks on operators, and formulate community advertising norms and game point limits. If personal information is leaked, operators should also be urged to take remedies.
