Feature Recognition and Decoy Mechanism of Susceptible Groups Adopting Fraud Informa-tion in the Context of Telecom Fraud
[Purpose/significance]The contactless false information fraud crimes are carried out frequently by means of telecom net-work tools,leading to great losses for the people.How to prevent the spread of fraud information from the source,and accurately under-stand the implementation path of fraud from the process,that is of great significance for the prevention and management of telecom fraud.[Method/process]This study utilizes a mixed research paradigm.We first selected 60 fraud information templates from specific cases of the National Anti-fraud Center to encode the information characteristics.Then we conducted an open interview with the po-lice,and build the decoy mechanism of fraud information by questionnaire survey and ANCOVA.[Result/conclusion]After three rounds of encoding,a total of 56 initial concepts,8 categorical concepts,and 4 main categories were obtained.It was found that fraud information exhibits certain characteristics in terms of information sources,information forms,information content,and information emotions.Then,obtain the three psychological factors of trust,attraction and worry of victims in Phone fraud cases.And the results found that there were significant differences in trust factors between authoritative,relevant,and professional groups,and significant dif-ferences in attraction factors between additional information,profitability,and operability groups,and significant differences in worry factors between severity and urgency groups.That means,different types of fraud information had different psychological effects on sus-ceptible groups.And based on this,we further explained the deception mechanism model by S-O-R theory.[Innovation/limitation]This study has enriched the research on the adoption,feature recognition of fraud information and the psychology of the cheated behav-ior of vulnerable groups.And at the same time provided a reference for the practice of the relevant departments to intervene in the man-agement of fraud crimes and accurately carry out anti-fraud science popularization.However,the full characteristics of the fraud infor-mation and the applicability of the decoy model need further study.
