Last year, police across the country cracked down on 2,431 fraud crime groups, arrested 23,306 people, and confiscated illegal gains amounting to 15.12 billion yuan. They successfully prevented 18,800 fraud cases, avoiding losses of over 12.99 billion yuan for the public. However, many people still fell victim to scams. The police indicated that combating fraud requires multi-faceted cooperation and cannot rely solely on law enforcement. Former legislator and experts criticized the judiciary for failing to effectively deter fraudulent activities, emphasizing that fraud has become highly organized and has international trends, posing challenges for law enforcement.

The national police seized 2,431 fraud crime groups last year, arrested 23,306 suspects, and confiscated illegal income of 15.12 billion yuan. They successfully intercepted 18,800 fraud cases, preventing over 12.99 billion yuan in financial losses for the public. However, despite such achievements showcasing the police's efforts, people are still falling victim to fraud every day, and it seems difficult to eradicate fraud groups. Ground-level police officers candidly state that combating fraud cannot rely solely on the police's strength, and former legislators also point out that the judicial system's inability to effectively deter crime leaves the situation still grim.

President 賴清德 presented data in the police administration meeting early this year, believing that the current efforts against fraud have not yet shown results and urged continued efforts. Police privately reflect that the president's interpretation of the data may have inaccuracies, and the task of combating fraud also requires cooperation and implementation of new laws such as the "Fraud Crime Hazard Prevention Act" by agencies including the Financial Supervisory Commission, the Ministry of Digital Affairs, and the NCC to effectively enhance the efficacy of the crackdown.

Ground-level officers emphasize that the police's dismantling of a fraud group does not merely represent one case or one victim. The president calculated that with 182,500 fraud cases in a year, the police's case closure rate is only 1.3%, indicating that police still need to work hard in combating fraud, which is indeed a biased interpretation. Former legislators and former police academy professors also pointed out that the main suspect in a certain Taiwan version of the Cambodia case, 杜承哲, was sentenced back in 2020 for 31 counts of aggravated fraud, totaling 20 million yuan, yet was only punished with labor and probation, allowing him to continue his wrongful acts, highlighting that the judicial system fundamentally fails to effectively deter crime.

Police academy professors point out that fraud activities have evolved from individual acts to a highly organized and international criminal industrial chain, making law enforcement more difficult. Additionally, regulatory loopholes in the digital, financial, and telecommunications sectors, as well as the public's lack of awareness and financial literacy, have resulted in the severity of fraud cases remaining stable.
