The blind date went wrong, and Zhou Ying was defrauded of more than 510,000 yuan by being recommended to trade in cryptocurrencies! (From Coinsradar.net)

The incident began on the last day of the May Day holiday. At around 8 pm on May 5, Zhou Ying, a Jiangxi woman who runs a small business in Wuning Street, Dongyang City, found that someone applied to add her WeChat. After she accepted, she learned that the other party was called "Li Weihong" and said that he was introduced to her for a blind date. After chatting for a few words, the other party actually said that it was a mistake.

After that, this "Li Weihong" lay quietly in Zhou Ying's WeChat friends. After more than 10 days of silence, Zhou Ying was suddenly pulled into a group chat of three people by "Li Weihong". "Li Weihong" said in the group that he was doing a side job recently and wanted to bring Zhou Ying to make some money together. He provided Zhou Ying with a website for trading virtual currencies in the group.

"Then the other party taught me how to top up, and I transferred it to the account provided by the other party through Alipay." At 12 noon on May 20, Zhou Ying, who was completely immersed in the dream of getting rich described by "Li Weihong", "entered the market". The first thing she did was to transfer the cross-border remittance of 53,888 Hong Kong dollars she received to the account provided by the other party through bank card purchase of foreign exchange to "speculate in cryptocurrencies".

Zhou Ying saw that there were also large amounts of money coming into her platform account, so from the afternoon of May 22 to the evening of May 24, she transferred several more transfers to the overseas bank account designated by "Li Weihong". Together with the one on May 20, her total transfer amount reached more than 513,000 yuan.

Part of the huge amount of money Zhou Ying invested was borrowed from friends. When she asked friends to borrow money, her friends also warned her that it was a scam, but she didn't take it seriously and didn't believe that she would be deceived at all. She completely failed her friends' kindness, but she was happy for a few days before she tasted the bitter fruit of self-righteousness.

"Later, when I wanted to withdraw the money, the other party said that I needed to pay 130,000 yuan in personal income tax. I realized something was wrong and called the police." On the evening of May 26, Zhou Ying, who was unable to withdraw the nearly one million yuan balance in her platform account, finally came to her senses. She told the police at Wuning Police Station that she usually received anti-fraud education, but she was careless and deceived because she had never experienced it herself.

I hope Ms. Zhou can get it back!
