What are the provisions for the establishment of the crime of fraud and the aggravated punishment in the criminal law?

Article 339 of the Criminal Law stipulates: “Anyone who, with the intention of illegally owning his or a third party’s property, uses deception to induce someone to hand over his or a third party’s property shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, short-term detention, or a fine of not more than 500,000 yuan, or both. A fine of not more than RMB 100,000 shall be imposed. The same shall apply to those who obtain illegal property benefits or allow a third party to obtain them through the methods mentioned in the preceding two paragraphs.” Practical opinion holds that the crime of fraud shall be based on the intention of oneself. Or it is illegally owned by a third party and the essential requirement is to use deception to induce someone to deliver the property to himself or a third party. The so-called fraud to induce someone to deliver requires that the person being defrauded must fall into a mistake due to the fraud. If the method used cannot be considered a fraud and does not cause the person to fall into a mistake, it does not constitute this crime (Supreme Court 46th Anniversary) Reference to Criminal Case No. 260). In addition, due to the increasing number of fraud cases in society recently, most of them defraud the public through groups or by pretending to be courts or prosecutors. In order to curb this unhealthy trend, the Criminal Code has been revised to add Article 339-4: "Committing the crime of fraud under Article 339 Those who fall under any of the following circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than one year but not more than seven years, and may also be fined not more than one million yuan: 1. The crime is committed under the false name of a government agency or civil servant. 3. The crime is committed by three or more people. "Those who attempt to disseminate to the public through broadcasting, television, electronic communications, the Internet or other media shall be punished." It is hoped that the punishment will be increased to achieve the effect of deterring crime. In this news, it is very likely that more than 3 people committed the crime of aggravated fraud.
