Intensify crackdown on telecom frauds

Song Zhenning died of heart attack after being swindled in a telephone scam. THE LOCAL POLICE in East China's Shandong province and South China's Guangdong province have detained 28 suspects involved in three recent telecom fraud cases and in so doing exposed a nationwide network of telecom fraudsters and hackers. Beijing Youth Daily commented on Saturday: It is reported that there is a giant underground telecom fraud network of more than one million people. Within this criminal network are those who steal people's personal information and sell it to fraudsters and those that sell fraudsters SIM cards so they don't need to register their phones. But the fight must go on, as at least 57,000 telecom fraud cases were discovered just in the first half of this year, almost 2.5 times those in the same period of last year.
