Benefit. In recent years, overseas telecommunications and network fraud groups have used the guise of "high-salary recruitment" to lure and intimidate ordinary people to engage in fraudulent activities, and formed a series of black industrial chains such as violent detention and human trafficking, harming the safety of people's lives and property. The variety of fraudulent means, the vicious means of coercion, and the huge amount of fraud are outrageous. Overseas online telecommunications fraud must be severely cracked down in accordance with the law, resolutely safeguard the vital interests of the people, resolutely maintain social order and good customs, and resolutely safeguard the majesty of the rule of law. Overseas telecommunications network fraud groups are well-organized and have a clear division of labor, showing the characteristics of organized crime such as multi-industry support, industrialized distribution, group operation, and refined division of labor. This requires the strengthening of international law enforcement cooperation, joint efforts with relevant countries to carry out joint strikes, all-out efforts to eradicate wire fraud dens, rescue trapped persons, and bring criminal forces and their organizers to justice. It is necessary to learn from the existing joint law enforcement model, explore the establishment of a normalized cooperation mechanism to combat overseas telecommunications and network fraud, form a long-term strong deterrent to criminals, and maintain the overall situation of friendly cooperation between my country and related countries. From the perspective of fraud methods, fraud groups use blockchain, metaverse, virtual currency, AI intelligence and other new technologies and new formats to continuously update criminal tools, which are more concealed and confusing. This requires the public security, finance, telecommunications, Internet and other departments to work together, apply advanced technical means, and fulfill the responsibility of the main body of supervision. It is necessary to reduce the space for online crimes from offline, organize centralized investigation and disposal of high-risk phone cards and bank cards involved in fraud, clean up related Internet accounts, and unblock online reporting channels. Thoroughly investigate the domestic criminal gangs colluding with foreign countries, and make every effort to cut off the smuggling channels. Public security and judicial departments should further strengthen publicity and education, and continuously improve people's awareness and ability to identify and prevent telecommunications and network fraud. Especially for young people who have just entered the society, we should guide them to keep their eyes open, guard against fluke mentality and herd mentality, and seek a way of standing in serving the society down-to-earth.
