Can overseas telecom fraud be recovered?

Generally speaking, it is difficult to get it back. If the fraudster didn't transfer the money, it would be easier to transfer the money back. If the criminals have moved the money, it will be difficult to get it back. Generally, when reporting to the public security organs, only criminals can be arrested, and it is difficult to recover the cheated money.

First, the characteristics of telecom fraud:

1, there will be no face-to-face contact between telecom fraudsters and victims;

2. Informatization of criminal means;

3. Intelligent criminal means;

4. The crime areas are decentralized and even internationalized;

5, gangs commit crimes, clear division of labor, and planned fraud;

6. the transfer speed is fast.

When it comes to telecom fraud cases, it is generally necessary to report the case as soon as possible before there is a chance to recover the arrears, but not all cases can be recovered. Therefore, in order to prevent greater losses, the best way is to be vigilant and not to trust information such as winning prizes easily.
