"Coin speculation", "blockchain", "virtual currency"... these seemingly "lofty" words may be a bottomless pit behind them. A large number of fraud cases show that telecommunications network fraud has already targeted the popular virtual currency. Recently, Ms. Liu was preparing to raise 2 million yuan to "go big" in the virtual currency market. Fortunately, she was dissuaded by the police in time.
Unfortunate beginning - setting up a call with "Asian senior teacher" on the Internet
It is understood that in early April this year, Ms. Liu received a strange phone call. The other party claimed to be a salesperson from "an international securities company" and asked her if she had any intention to invest in virtual currencies in the near future. Ms. Liu has long wanted to do investment and financial management online, but she has never found a suitable way. When she heard that the other party was from a "securities company", she was very interested.
The other party told her that there is currently a senior teacher in Asia who is teaching online investment and financial management. This teacher has very unique insights into the international investment situation, especially the purchase of "virtual currency", and has mastered a lot of inside information. If Ms. Liu has investment intentions, you might as well give it a listen, it will definitely be beneficial. Subsequently, based on the QR code sent by the other party, Ms. Liu entered an enterprise account platform.
After Ms. Liu entered the Enterprise account platform, the "customer service" there sent her a URL link, saying it was a website where "Asian senior teachers" taught classes. Ms. Liu clicked to enter the website and saw someone attending class. After that, she often went to the website to listen to classes and was deeply fascinated. After Ms. Liu listened to the class for a period of time, the "customer service" of the Enterprise account platform asked her to download an APP called "AntMessenger and Duo Xiao Chat", saying that it was an experience exchange platform for prospective investors.。
The dream of getting rich by speculating on coins is shattered! A woman raised 2 million to prepare for a "big move" but was dissuaded by the police.
Being "brainwashed" into speculating and getting a taste of the benefits
Ms. Liu downloaded and registered the APP. After logging in, she found that "Asian senior teachers" and other "students" were there. Everyone was communicating about investment and purchasing "virtual coins". Several people posted their "report cards" and "profits" were there. The price ranged from hundreds of thousands to several million yuan, and Ms. Liu felt very shocked. After a series of brainwashing inductions by the "Asian Senior Teacher", Ms. Liu was inspired to become passionate and admired the "Asian Senior Teacher" to the extreme.
After two days of "communication" like this, the "customer service" asked Ms. Liu to enter the port from the Enterprise Account platform and log in to an APP called "Vinico", saying that this is a practical platform where you can invest and purchase "virtual currency". Ms. Liu couldn't wait to enter the APP, registered an account, and under the guidance of the other party, began to invest funds to purchase virtual coins. She first invested a small amount of funds to test the waters. After a while, the "earnings" doubled and she could withdraw cash smoothly. She was ecstatic. She continued to invest and bought "up", and the balance in her APP account wallet increased sharply!
At this time, the other party "reminded" her that now was the best time to "buy up" and she must seize the opportunity. She believed this, but she ran out of funds, so she quickly went to raise funds and raised 2 million yuan, ready to "do something big" again!
Fortunately, just when Ms. Liu was trying her best to raise money, because Ms. Liu did not answer the phone, the local police came directly to remind her that the system had detected that she was being defrauded. Please stop the operation immediately and never transfer money! Only with careful explanation from the police did Ms. Liu wake up from her "dream of sudden wealth"!
Here’s a reminder: Investment and financial management cannot be achieved overnight, and strangers and friends are even less likely to ask after you for no reason. Many virtual currency investment scams are carried out through fake financial investment platforms. Do not download unverified APPs or register on unfamiliar websites under the guidance of unfamiliar netizens, let alone operate on these unfamiliar platforms. The final result of the recharge operation is that the platform cannot withdraw cash or the web page cannot be opened, resulting in the money invested being lost.
There are many fake and black platforms. Whether it is currency speculation or foreign exchange speculation, investors need to keep their eyes open before investing, check the compliance of the platform first, and do not transfer money rashly.
