You can't just run away from the police station
Many people were caught in debt, their investments were deceived, their transfers went to the police first, but were told that this was a civil dispute and that the police could not open a case。
People don't get it: i've been tricked, i've been paid for it
Today, it is said in plain language that criminal fraud is never a matter of money and that four conditions must be met at the same time, not one less。
I. Correcting an error first: the amount is not the only criterion
The “over $3,000 is fraud”, which is not entirely accurate。
The sum of $300,000 is only the larger starting point for most areas and is a sentencing reference rather than a qualitative criterion。
In some cases, hundreds of thousands of cases remain civil disputes because the conditions are not met
In some cases thousands of dollars, the conditions are complete and the police have to file a case。
Ii. Four conditions for criminal fraud
1. Subjectively unlawful occupation - no intention to return
This is the core line:
- civil disputes: to pay, but not yet
- criminal fraud: no intention of paying back, waste, divert, run
2. Implementation of fictional and concealment of facts
It's either a lie or a fraud. It's a lie
- fake identities, false items, false relationships
- concealment of non-payment capacity and non-performance
- all the way to get you paid by lying
Three. You've been tricked to make a mistake
Your transfer was made by someone who lied to me。
If you invest money knowing the risks, you are at risk and not fraud。
4. Achieving greater standards
Ordinary frauds typically involve a total of $3,000 in criminal proceedings, and telecommunications networks are subject to stricter scrutiny, with the first three cases largely open。
Iii. One minute's clarity: fraud vs civil disputes
- fraud (which can be reported to the police): fictional facts, deceptiveness at the outset, money wasted at all costs, money paid up to the standard
- civil (go to court): there is a real transaction, a failure to perform, a willingness to communicate, a lack of any condition
Iv. Do it when you're deceived
1. Check yourself against the four conditions and do not run blindly at police stations
Conformity with fraud: bringing chat records, money transfer vouchers, direct reporting of information from the other party
3. Civil: the sooner evidence is brought to court, the easier it will be to recover the money
4. Failure to file a case by the police may require written notice, request review or prosecution supervision
V. Key warning: secure the money bag and identify these traps
Finally, everyone should be reminded that it is better to guard against deception than to defend their rights after the fact。
There is a growing number of schemes, such as paybacks, high-paying part-time jobs, money-keeping, internet-loaning, impersonating customer-service refunds ... All seem tempting。
It is important to remember that there are no pies in the sky, and that all the good things that come without effort are mostly carefully designed traps。
High returns are bound to be accompanied by high risks, with unknown links, unknowns of two dimensions, multiple verifications involving transfers, trustless, undisclosed, and blind transfers to avoid being deceived at the root。
It's the most dangerous way to defend rights。
Larger amounts are not criminal fraud without one condition; the amount is small and the case can be prosecuted。
In the case of pre-characterization and re-choice, it is important to understand that the rights are protected by the law and, more importantly, to tighten the chain of fraud and deception and to really protect their money bags。
