Oh no, what bad luck! Someone has been scammed out of 900,000 dollars!
A person holding 900,000 USDT wanted to exchange virtual currency for cash through offline transactions. He was quite careful, first trying a small transaction and checking the authenticity of the bills, but in the end, he was still tricked by the scammer. After receiving the USDT, the other party directly uninstalled the app and insisted they had not received the coins. Not only did he lose the virtual currency, but the 900,000 cash was also gone, and without any evidence, the money could not be recovered.
This is not the first time such a thing has happened. With the increasing popularity of virtual currency, many people choose offline transactions to avoid the risks of online trading, but this is actually more dangerous.
Those scammers use chat software like Telegram, which is hard to trace, to set traps in advance. Even if the transaction goes wrong, they can easily deny it. Some scammers even hire people to impersonate the other party in the transaction and then clean their hands of all responsibility afterwards.
Currently, the law has not fully addressed this area, making it difficult for victims to protect their rights.
To avoid being scammed yourself, pay attention to the following points when trading virtual currency:
1. Record the entire transaction with audio and video, ensuring the other party's identity is genuine and the transaction details are clear.
2. Do not use foreign chat apps, use real-name software like WeChat for communication.
3. After the transaction, wait for a while before leaving to prevent the other party from retracting the transaction.
4. If possible, sign a written agreement to leave evidence.
In short, be particularly cautious when trading virtual currency, and try to trade with trusted people to protect your money.
