🚨 Bac Ninh police investigate a fraud case through Binance, calling on victims to report
THE SCAM GROUP HAS COMMITTED THEFT USING THE FOLLOWING METHODS:
1. Creating fake accounts on Binance: This group creates fake accounts on the Binance exchange to conduct transactions, pretending to be a reputable seller.
2. Selling USDT at a low price: They post information selling the cryptocurrency USDT at a lower price than the market rate to attract buyers and stimulate the victims' "FOMO" (fear of missing out) mentality.
3. Sending fake messages about transaction errors: After the victim transfers money to buy USDT, this group impersonates by sending messages stating that the transaction encountered an error or needs further verification.
4. Requesting to scan a QR code: The scam group asks the victim to scan a QR code "to fix the error" or "to confirm the transaction." However, this QR code is actually a tool designed to take control of the victim's Binance account.
5. Taking control and withdrawing money: After the victim scans the QR code, this group takes full control of their Binance account, withdrawing all the money or electronic assets in the account.
The scam group has committed over 50 cases nationwide, appropriating about 10 billion VND.
This method is very sophisticated, exploiting the greed and lack of vigilance of the victims during transactions.
