Recently, a police station of the Minhang branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau received a report from a Ms. Huang. Ms. Huang was brought into a platform by a netizen for currency pair trading and bitcoin speculation, and was cheated of more than 320,000 before and after.
"Intimate" male net friend, fraud three in a row
Ms. Huang, 56, is a nurse at a hospital in Shanghai. A few months ago, she casually added a male friend to her phone. The two often chatted, and the man told Ms. Huang that he was in his 40s and ran his own business in Guangzhou. Ms. Huang felt that the male netizen understood and gradually trusted him more and more.
Like all killing pig plates, the next step of the male netizens began to take Ms. Huang to invest. Ms. Huang, guided by him step by step, joined a platform that provided currency pairs and Bitcoin transactions and followed him. Soon, Ms. Huang lost 190,000 yuan.
Ms. Huang found that the signs were wrong, immediately contact male netizens to return the money. The other side readily agreed. However, in the process of withdrawal, male netizens began to use Ms. Huang to lose the wrong bank card account, causing the account to be frozen on the grounds of Ms. Huang's transfer to unfreeze; Later, the withdrawal amount is too large, and the penalty needs to be paid, and Ms. Huang needs to transfer money again. Several transfers down, Ms. Wang has been cheated before and after 320,000 yuan.
After realizing that she had fallen into the scam again, Huang regretted it too much. The case is currently under investigation.
Reminder:
The great thing about "killing pigs" is that killing people is invisible. They are not in a hurry, first cultivate feelings and gain trust before they begin to borrow money or lure people to invest in fake investment platforms, which largely eliminates the victim's fear of caution.
For investors, whether it is an investment platform recommended by friends and relatives, or an investment platform recommended by netizens, at least go to the network to check the compliance of the platform, see if there are any netizens, etc., and then consider transferring into capital investment, do not follow blindly.
