On some peculiarities and prophylactic of fraud committed using mobile communications

The purpose of the research. The article discusses the features and distinctive features of fraud committed using mobile communications, as well as describes in General terms the mechanism of criminal actions of fraudsters. The article analyzes the processes that contribute to the active and widespread introduction of modern achievements of science and technology in a heterogeneous social environment, namely the integration of a huge number of different high-tech technical devices into circulation among the broadest segments of the country's population. These processes and currents automatically generate side effects that are bound to be used by various categories of unreliable citizens. As a result, it is possible to commit a crime and remain unrecognized and unnoticed, since when committing crimes using devices such as a mobile phone, there are practically no traces of an illegal act. This type of crime, such as fraud committed using mobile communications, has become widespread. One of the main regulators of public relations in the sphere of ensuring the protection of citizens ' property from illegal encroachments is the internal Affairs bodies, as well as operational divisions of internal Affairs bodies. The fight against crime is their direct responsibility, and the fight against fraud committed using mobile communications is a private manifestation of this fight. However, we regret to note that with more than one hundred thousand cases of fraud registered in the Russian Federation in 2019, their detection rate is extremely low and accounts for only a few percent of the total number of such crimes. Results: as a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to study in more detail the nature and nature of fraudulent manifestations in order to effectively prevent such crimes as fraud committed using mobile communications. The author concludes that any crime, including fraud committed using mobile communications, is easier to prevent than to restore the violated property rights of citizens in the future, as well as to eliminate the causes and conditions that contribute to the illegal act and pose a public danger.
