Recently, a fan accidentally fell into the trap of telecommunications fraud when selling U worth 200,000 yuan.
Here, we remind everyone to be highly vigilant when conducting virtual currency transactions to avoid losses.
During the transaction, the fan met a buyer who called himself "Lao Wang next door".
After the transaction was completed, it was found that the payment did not come from "Lao Wang next door", but from different accounts such as "Lao Li next door" and "Lao Huang next door". This situation is very likely a means of telecommunications fraud.
Sure enough, a few days later, the fan received a notice from JC, asking him to assist in the investigation. It turned out that the 200,000 yuan remitted to his Alipay was suspected of telecommunications fraud, and the friend was therefore pursued online.
JC informed that his Alipay account had been frozen, and other bank cards might be affected due to the case, and even his personal freedom might be restricted.
When facing JC's inquiry, the fan chose to refund the money involved in the case in order to get out of the predicament as soon as possible.
Even if the refund is completed, it does not mean that the suspicion has been completely cleared.
Only temporary compulsory measures of bail pending trial were taken, and it was informed that only when the case investigation was completed, his innocence could be proved.
This incident sounded the alarm for us. We must be cautious when conducting transactions.
The following suggestions may help you reduce the risk:
Verify the buyer's identity: Before the transaction, please be sure to verify the buyer's true identity and payment method. If the buyer uses another person's account to pay, you should be highly vigilant.
Choose a formal platform: Try to choose a formal and well-known trading platform for transactions to reduce the risk of being deceived.
Keep evidence: Properly preserve transaction records, chat records and other evidence to protect your rights and interests when problems arise.
There are high risks in virtual currency transactions. We should always be vigilant and never fall into fraud traps for the sake of small profits.
