In cases of card freezing due to virtual currency trading, online gambling, foreign trade, or currency exchange, how can one communicate with public security to unfreeze their account? As early as 2020, the Ministry of Public Security's official website responded to how frozen individuals could appeal to the public security organs for unfreezing.
The Ministry of Public Security's official website response suggests first contacting the bank where the account was opened to find out the specific unit, contact person, and phone number responsible for freezing the bank account. Directly contact the handling unit and provide the relevant materials as required by the handling unit to apply for unfreezing.
Step 1: After the bank card is frozen, go to the bank where the account was opened to inquire about the freezing unit. Because there are regulations, after the public security organs complete the freezing procedures, the bank should inform the account holder about the freezing status when inquiring at the deposit unit or individual.
Step 2: Provide proof to eliminate the suspicion of fraud, as well as the source of funds in the bank card. Prove that you obtained the money in good faith and were unaware of any wrongdoing. How to eliminate the suspicion of fraud and money laundering? If you are trading virtual currency, present the orders for selling USDT. For foreign trade, you need to provide contracts, chat records, shipping information, transaction prices, etc., to prove you have normal transactions and there were no other abnormal behaviors during the transaction, and you did not knowingly receive illicit funds. Provide proof of social insurance contributions and salary from your company to demonstrate that you have normal work, legal income, and are law-abiding, not engaged in fraud or money laundering. Some may need to go in person to give a statement, so prepare the above materials in advance. Of course, for remote areas, the materials for unfreezing can be communicated and sent to the handling agency.
Step 3: Negotiate the unfreezing. After eliminating the suspicion of fraud and money laundering, you will be treated as a witness. You must compensate the local victims in good faith to unfreeze the account, so you need to negotiate an amount for a good-faith compensation unfreezing.
