At present, the crime of telecommunication network fraud is still frequent and the crime situation is still severe and complex. With the emergence of new Internet technologies and new forms of business, youth groups have been impacted the most by telecommunications network fraud crimes. The victim group is characterized by the majority of young victims, with obvious differences in gender, education, and occupation, and the type of deception is highly related to age and gender. In the past three decades, the youth victim group has experienced the evolution of three modes of being cheated, from general netting to precise customization to incubation and operation. Analyzing the reasons for being cheated in specific crime situations from the perspective of victims is conducive to better predicting the potential victims of telecommunications network fraud crime and implementing more effective and accurate crime prevention.
