Buying over ten thousand virtual currencies at a super low price, but can't withdraw!
Citizen Mr. Sun has always been eager to try investing in virtual currencies. Recently, he met a person selling virtual currencies on a social platform. The prices of the virtual currencies offered by this person were far lower than the market price. Tempted, Mr. Sun downloaded the specified virtual trading platform software as required and transferred 20,000 yuan to the other party to purchase about 4,000 virtual currencies.
Mr. Sun tried trading on the platform and was successful. Now, he completely trusted the other party and recharged the platform with 50,000 yuan.
However, during the withdrawal process, Mr. Sun received a notification from the platform, informing him that his account had been subjected to risk control by the platform, thus preventing withdrawals. Mr. Sun hurriedly inquired with the other party, only to find that he had been blocked, realizing that he had been scammed and quickly reported to the police.
The police stated that Mr. Sun fell victim to a virtual currency scam in investment and financial fraud. Scammers often first post false messages on social platforms, claiming that a certain virtual currency has an extremely high return rate, even promising guaranteed profits, to lure victims into their trap.
In reality, these software platforms are already set up by scammers in advance, and they can change the data at will in the background, gaining the victim's trust in the early stages. Subsequently, they will repeatedly request the victim to recharge for various reasons, including transferring so-called deposits, handling fees, etc., to continuously deceive victims into transferring money.
