Lawyer Peng Mingen was invited to give a special lecture to the Liubian Village (Residential) Committee in Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City

On the afternoon of February 25, 2025, the Liubian Village (residential) Committee in Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City invited Lawyer Peng Mingen from Guangdong Denghu Law Firm to give a special lecture on the theme of 'raising awareness of prevention and staying away from telecommunications fraud', aiming to enhance residents' awareness of telecommunications fraud, strengthen prevention capabilities, and maintain community property security and harmony stability.

At the beginning of the lecture, Lawyer Peng elaborated on the current situation and harm of telecommunications fraud. He pointed out that with the development of the Internet and mobile communication technology, telecom fraud has become more hidden, complex and diverse. Fraudsters use modern communication methods to disguise themselves and commit fraud, making it difficult for the public to prevent. Telecom fraud not only causes property damage to victims, and some even lose their life savings, but also causes great psychological trauma, triggering fear, anxiety and other problems, seriously damaging the social integrity system.

In the common types and case analysis section, Lawyer Peng listed two typical types of online shopping fraud and impersonation of public security, procuratorial and judicial fraud. Lawyer Peng also explained the legal provisions involved in telecommunications fraud, emphasizing that according to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, if the amount of public or private property defrauded is relatively large, it will be subject to legal sanctions, and the sentencing standards may vary in different regions. At the same time, the Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China requires network operators to ensure network security and protect personal information security. The opinions jointly issued by the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Public Security also clarify the conviction and sentencing standards for telecommunications network fraud crimes.

Lawyer Peng provided specific suggestions on how to prevent telecommunications fraud:

1. Residents should actively learn legal knowledge, use legal thinking to analyze problems, enhance their awareness of information confidentiality, and not disclose sensitive information on the internet at will.

2. When using public Wi Fi, avoid operations involving personal information and financial security.

3. When receiving unfamiliar phone calls or messages, be sure to verify the identity of the other party through official channels, and be cautious when confirming transfer and remittance requirements.

4. Installing legitimate anti fraud software such as the National Anti Fraud Center app, and correctly setting and using it, can effectively identify the latest fraud methods.

5. Residents should strengthen self-education, learn new anti fraud knowledge, and promote it to those around them to enhance the overall anti fraud awareness of society.

This lecture has rich and practical content, combined with practical cases and legal regulations, providing comprehensive guidance for residents to prevent telecommunications fraud. Through lectures, residents have a deeper understanding of telecommunications fraud, and their awareness and ability to prevent it have been effectively improved. This helps to create a good atmosphere for jointly preventing telecommunications fraud in the community, laying a solid foundation for building a safe, harmonious, and stable social environment.
