Oh no, what bad luck! Someone has been scammed out of $900,000!

A person had 900,000 USDT and wanted to exchange virtual currency for cash through offline trading.

He was quite careful, first trying a small transaction and even checking the authenticity of the bills, but in the end, he was still tricked by the scammer. After the scammer received the USDT, they directly uninstalled the software and insisted that they had not received the coins. As a result, not only did he lose his virtual currency, but the $900,000 in cash also went down the drain, and without evidence, the money could not be recovered at all.

This isn't the first time this has happened. As virtual currency becomes increasingly popular, many people choose offline trading to avoid the risks of online transactions, but in fact, this is even more dangerous.

Those scammers use hard-to-trace chat software like Telegram to set up traps in advance. When transactions go wrong, they can easily deny everything. Some scammers even find people to impersonate the trading counterpart, completely shirking responsibility afterward.

Currently, the law hasn’t caught up in this area, making it quite difficult for victims to defend their rights.

To avoid being scammed, pay attention to the following points when trading virtual currency:

Record the entire transaction with audio and video, ensure the identity of the other party is genuine, and clarify the transaction details.

Don't use those foreign chat software; communicate with software like WeChat that requires real-name registration. After the transaction, don’t rush to leave; wait a moment to prevent the other party from going back on their word. If possible, sign a written agreement to leave evidence.

In short, when trading virtual currency, you need to be cautious, try to trade with reliable people, and protect your money.
