Abstract

With social development, new types of fraud and emerging payment methods have appeared, causing certain problems in the application of traditional rules for determining amounts in fraud cases. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the determination of amounts in fraud crimes. This article reviews the theories and legal provisions on the determination of amounts in fraud crimes both domestically and internationally, then points out the deficiencies in existing theories and provisions through case analysis, and finally proposes that when considering the determination of property losses in fraud crimes, the victim's subjective intentions should be taken into account, and the determination of amounts arising from payment methods requires case-by-case analysis.

They issued notices under the guise of a government training center, deliberately using terms commonly found in official documents, such as 'publicity and implementation class,' and coupled with the professional nature of the training notification content, this led the relevant units to mistakenly believe that such training classes were mandatory, and therefore they participated and paid the fees.
