Abstract

With the deep penetration of digital life, telecommunication network fraud has evolved from simple technical fraud to systematic psychological manipulation, and the characteristics of professionalism, scriptization and emotionalization have become more and more prominent. Based on the cross perspective of criminology and psychology, this paper takes the chat records of various types of real fraud in Chinese context as the research base, selects five of the most representative typical cases for deep deconstruction, and constructs a four-stage general psychological manipulation model of "cognitive activation-emotional binding-psychological dependence-decision submission". This paper innovatively integrates local psychological characteristics and classical theories, extracts the common manipulation logic and differentiated performance across fraud types, and then puts forward anti-fraud intervention strategies that are phased, accurate and suitable for the actual situation. This paper not only promotes the theoretical integration and localization of the psychological mechanism of fraud, but also provides academic support for practical work such as anti-fraud publicity and education, early warning and interception, and psychological counseling.
