Since 2003, the crime of fraud has changed from scratch-off lottery ticket to jackpot scam by text message, fake tax refunds, family and friend impersonation scam for monetary gain. Capitalizing on current events, scammers try to exploit these stories and create different kinds of fraud patterns. Since 2006, fake kidnappings and police and prosecutors impersonation have been used to defraud money by mongering fear which has become one of the most serious crimes that endanger social order.
Due to the emergence of new modus operandi, ordinary people may be deceived easily if they oversight and fail to verify afterwards. Central government should integrate financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, taxation departments, and telecommunications companies to form a cross-ministerial platform and a telecommunications technology platform to propagate and deter crimes. Most importantly, it relies mainly on the public to be vigilant, remind each other, and mobilize to prevent fraud. I believe that under the cooperation among government, private industry and the public, we can effectively deter fraudulent practices and prevent fraudulent crimes
