Fraudulent organizations have begun to utilize the money saving system on the Internet to change Caller ID and to send fraud calls by offshore calling model, since NCC granted to license Type II telecommunications operators that provided services, and it really does increase the challenge of IP location and the difficulties of investigation. This dissertation was based on the phenomenological content analysis and used the literature review and in-depth interviews to conduct the research. Through purposive sampling and snowball sampling, the scopes of interviewees were chosen from 4 types of groups, which are: criminals, field agents and technical staff members, NCC officers, Type I telecommunications operators and Type II telecommunications operators. Firstly, from criminals' point of view, to analyze the criminal process, to discuss the factors to stop them from committing crime; secondly, from field agents and technical staff members' point of view, to analyze the investigative process of conducting the electronic surveillance, to discuss the difficulties of IP location and the challenge of transnational telecommunications fraud crime-fighting; thirdly, from NCC officers and telecommunications operators' point of view, to analyze the problems of supervising telecommunications mechanism, to discuss the conflicts between obeying legal rules and carrying on telecommunications business.
Since NCC granted to license Type II telecommunications operators that provided services, manpower shortage and work overloaded makes NCC could not conduct the supervising telecommunications mechanism efficiently, what is more, for the reason of profit-making, some Type II telecommunications operators and Internet value-added services providers have become accomplices to help fraudulent organizations sending fraud calls.
The findings and suggestions are divided into three sections as following:
