Telecom companies must do more to combat fraudsters

FOLLOWING SOME RECENT HIGH-PROFILE TELEPHONE FRAUD CASES, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has said telecom enterprises must fulfill their social responsibilities. Beijing News commented:

Xu Yuyu, an 18-year-old girl from East China's Shandong province, died of a heart attack after being defrauded of all the money her family had saved to pay for her university tuition fees.

Days later Cai Shuyan, a 19-year-old girl from South China's Guangdong province, committed suicide after being similarly defrauded of her tuition fees.
