In the past year, the police seized 2,431 fraud groups, arrested 23,306 people, and confiscated illegal income of 15.12 billion yuan, successfully blocking 18,800 fraud cases, preventing losses to the public exceeding 12.99 billion yuan. However, many people are still deceived, and grassroots police believe that combating fraud requires multi-party cooperation and cannot rely solely on the police. Former legislators criticized the judicial system for failing to effectively deter fraudulent behavior and pointed out the high-level misinterpretation of data. Experts indicated that fraud has become an organized and internationalized industry, making law enforcement difficult. Additionally, regulatory loopholes and insufficient public awareness have resulted in ongoing serious fraud cases.

Last year, national police uncovered a total of 2,431 fraud crime groups, arrested 23,306 suspects, seized illegal proceeds amounting to 15.12 billion yuan, and successfully intercepted 18,800 fraud cases, preventing public losses of over 12.99 billion yuan. Despite these significant achievements, the public continues to face substantial fraud losses daily. Grassroots police acknowledge that combating fraud does not solely rely on police efforts; a former legislator bluntly stated that the inability of the judicial system to achieve an effective deterrent effect is a major reason. President Lai Ching-te pointed out at a police conference earlier this year that, according to data, the efforts to combat fraud have not been significantly successful and encouraged relevant departments to continue their efforts. Police privately indicated that the President's interpretation of the data is flawed and emphasized that anti-fraud work requires cooperation with supervisory agencies such as the Financial Supervisory Commission, the Ministry of Digital Affairs, and the NCC to effectively enhance the impact of their efforts.

• Grassroots officers mentioned that breaking a fraud group does not mean there is only one case or one victim; among the 182,500 cases calculated by the President, the police's clearance rate is only 1.3%, and such an interpretation is actually incorrect.
• A former legislator and professor of police studies pointed out that the main culprit in the local version of the Cambodia case, "Landao" Du Cheng-zhe, had already committed 31 counts of aggravated fraud in 2020, with cumulative fraud amounts reaching 20 million yuan, yet he received only labor verdicts and probation, allowing him to continue his crimes, demonstrating the ineffective deterrent effect of the judiciary.
• A professor of police studies stated that fraud has now evolved from a singular act into a highly organized and internationalized industry chain, with increased difficulty in law enforcement; furthermore, the regulatory loopholes in digital finance and telecommunications, combined with the public's lack of vigilance and financial knowledge, will continue to sustain the severity of fraud cases.
