Basic Knowledge | Eliminate Telecommunication Fraud, First Check China Mobile and China Unicom

Several perplexing questions:

1. Why do I need to register my real name for any phone number, while telecommunication fraud perpetrators can get endless mobile phone numbers and landline numbers for fraud? Does the operator know what’s going on? Is there no solution?

2. Why can telecommunication fraud perpetrators accurately obtain my detailed flight information as soon as I buy a ticket? Does the Civil Aviation Administration know what’s going on? Is there no solution?

3. Why can fraud groups successfully launder their ill-gotten gains? We often hear that ordinary people’s bank cards are frozen, and they are required to provide various proofs to withdraw cash. Have these control measures ever successfully intercepted the ill-gotten gains and caught the fraudsters?

In the final analysis, although the fraudsters are overseas, the mobile phone numbers, personal information, and bank accounts they use for fraud all come from within China. If we can’t control the people overseas, can’t we control the information within the country?

First, the issue of phone numbers

According to current management regulations, all numbers must be registered with real names. Whether the telecommunication fraud perpetrators use physical SIM cards or virtual numbers, there is always a complete chain for the sale and approval of each number. After confirming that a number is used for fraud, how difficult is it to trace who illegally sold the number?

Then, the issue of personal information

From the generation of a flight ticket order to its leakage to telecommunication fraud perpetrators, who can access the information, and who has actively inquired about the information? How difficult is it to trace? If a certain ticketing platform always has such information resale cases, can it be shut down?

Also, the issue of bank accounts

No matter what means telecommunication fraud perpetrators use to launder money, the entire process of circulation in the banking system before withdrawing cash can always be traced. After each fraud case is filed, have the public security and UnionPay systems traced the entire process of laundering the ill-gotten gains, and have they frozen all the bank accounts involved in the process? What difficulties are there in this process that cannot be overcome?

In fact, the public is not unsympathetic to the difficulties the state faces in combating telecommunication fraud. What everyone needs is for the state to also understand the difficulties of the public:

In order to cooperate with the fight against telecommunication fraud, the public has already ceded many, many privacy rights and endured many, many inconveniences in life. However, have we innocent ordinary people paid so much price, and have we gained the governance results of telecommunication fraud, and have we gained the safety and peace of mind that everyone wants?

In order to cooperate with the fight against telecommunication fraud, the public has already ceded many, many privacy rights and endured many, many inconveniences in life. So, have our respected telecommunication operators, various online platforms that hold personal information, and banking systems really made equal efforts to go both ways?

Judging from the results, I personally find it hard to believe that they have worked so hard.
