Telefraud criminals (5 persons), investigation practitioners (2 persons), and information & communication professionals (2 persons) are interviewed to probe into and analyze telefrauds. The research framework covers interview results in four aspects: organization structure and labor division, mode of telefraud, counter-fraud avoidance (concealed identity) by means of telecommunication tools, and method of investigation. The interview contents are then analyzed and summarized as follows: differences between general fraud and telefraud, labor division of telefraud rings, preparations before committing a crime, mode of crime, and use of telecommunications and financial media, telefraud/crime investigation method, and problems encountered in investigating telefrauds. A telefraud/crime model will be set up based on the result findings. The entire crime process will be plotted and an investigation method formulated to help investigation practitioners take a better control during practical investigations. Finally, strategic suggestions of investigations and preventions in consideration of the existing conditions will be proposed respectively from the viewpoints of police departments, telecommunication operators, financial institutions, media, and other relevant departments.
