According to the law, those who defraud public or private property worth 3,000 yuan to more than 10,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan to more than 100,000 yuan, or more than 500,000 yuan shall be deemed to be relatively large, huge or particularly huge amounts respectively. Therefore, defrauding public or private property worth up to 3,000 yuan constitutes a crime of fraud. Anyone who engages in credit card fraud and is suspected of one of the following circumstances shall be prosecuted: (1) Using a forged credit card, or using a credit card fraudulently obtained with a false identity certificate, or using an expired credit card, or fraudulently using another person’s credit card to commit fraud. Fraudulent activities, the amount is more than 5,000 yuan; (2) Malicious overdraft, the amount is more than 10,000 yuan.
