China's Ministry of Public Security has published a wanted-list of ten fugitives who allegedly committed huge telecom and Internet fraud.

The list contains the names, gender, birth dates, hometown addresses and ID numbers of the wanted, who were mostly from the country's southern and eastern regions.

The ministry does not specify their crimes or how many cases they were involved in.

It says groups or individuals who provide information leading to arrests will receive a reward of 50,000 yuan, or about 7,700 U.S. dollars, for each suspect seized.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate, China's top prosecution body, said earlier this month that more than 300 people were arrested in China for telecom and Internet fraud in 2015.

It says police are seeing an increase in cybercrime, including transnational cases, and the sums of money involved, which is posing a greater threat to state and public security.
