Can the money from telecom fraud be recovered? How long does it usually take?

Not necessarily, after the victim reports the case, the public security organ will review the report materials and think that those suspected of committing crimes will file a case for investigation, but not all cases can be found out immediately, so it is a matter of time.

Especially in telecom fraud cases, it is difficult to verify, and many scammers are abroad. Going abroad to handle a case depends on whether the international police cooperation is close, and it takes a long time to apply for approval.

Regarding the investigation of a case, the public security organ has no obligation to inform the victim (of course, the victim will be informed when the case is solved), because before the case is solved, the investigation process and means of the case belong to police secrets and cannot be disclosed at will, otherwise it will be more likely to be exploited by fraudsters. Therefore, it is normal to report for a long time without news.
