Street fortune-telling deception _ Is it true?

Think fortune telling has been cheated, can you call the police?

You can call the police. If the other party commits fraud, but the amount does not reach the starting point of 5,000 yuan for fraud, it may not constitute a crime, and the money can be recovered through civil litigation or public security punishment by public security organs. Although it does not constitute a crime, it is recommended to report the case, strive to be captured by the public security organs, and then impose public security penalties. If this method can't recover the money, then file a civil lawsuit.

If you are defrauded by the so-called fortune teller for more than 5,000 yuan, according to the provisions of the criminal law, it has constituted a crime of fraud. At this time, it is even more necessary to call the police in time.

Whoever defrauds public or private property in a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also, or shall only, be fined; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated.

The police reminded:

The general public friends, especially the elderly friends, must not believe in the superstition of "monsters" and at the same time appeal to the general public friends. If you meet these fortune tellers on the street again, you must call the police at the first time and let the lawless people accept legal sanctions.

In fact, the criminal suspect adopted the strategy of heart-to-heart communication, and used the process of intimidation to cause the psychological panic of the victims. After the victim was bewitched, he immediately prepared cash or valuables according to the suspect's instructions and kept them "strictly confidential", which is the trap of the suspect. Therefore, the grassroots police, especially the rural grassroots police, should highlight the key gullible groups such as the elderly, reveal the law of high incidence of deception, and improve the pertinence of anti-fraud propaganda by taking care of the elderly groups.
