Beware! Offline OTC scams for purchasing U.
Xiao Ming is an internet person who doesn't know much about blockchain. Entrusted by a friend, he wants to buy some USDT. He usually doesn't understand much, but when asked to help someone, he confidently says, no problem, I've got this covered.
He found someone online selling USDT at a low price, discounted by 0.2. Xiao Ming calculated that not only would he help his friend, but he could also make quite a bit of money. So he added this person's (Jia Ge) contact information, first adding a flight app and later a WeChat secondary account. Having heard that many offline transactions result in people getting robbed, Xiao Ming did a lot of research. Jia Ge kept in frequent contact with Xiao Ming, agreeing on a location, stating that any place in Jiaxing Nanhu District would be fine, but it was necessary to use a cold wallet on-site; otherwise, what if you receive the USDT and they don't acknowledge it?
With friends in tow, Xiao Ming eventually drove to Jiaxing with 900,000 cash withdrawn from the bank. He found a tea house on a review site, sat down, and then invited Jia Ge over. Jia Ge then mysteriously arranged for a subordinate to enter the tea house room while making a voice call on his phone.
Upon entering, they needed to verify the account, and it was discovered that the wallet had already been multi-signed. They said it was an observer wallet; what would happen if I transferred the USDT to you and you moved it away? They requested to create a new wallet. Xiao Ming thought about it; after all, it was his wallet, so what could go wrong? At this point, they requested a new wallet to be created, and to check the advanced mode---export the private key, claiming it was to see if there were any other observer accounts. During this time, a device secretly captured the QR code of the private key.
With the private key, they could multi-sign your wallet, and your wallet wouldn't receive any notifications. At that time, they would transfer the USDT to you, and they would take away the cash. Everything went smoothly. Additionally, Jia Ge kept calling Xiao Ming, leaving him no time to transfer out the USDT until they finally left. After leaving, your wallet would receive a transaction of 100 TRX, and then your wallet would become someone else's wallet. #Content Mining Follow me! Get more cryptocurrency news!
