According to reports, recently, at least two Chinese in New York, the United States, were cheated by investing in cryptocurrency and lost a huge amount of money. According to the police investigation, a Chinese man because of trusting the words of strangers, put 390,000 US dollars in the trading account recommended by the other party, and soon all the money disappeared, and it has not been recovered.

Two Chinese in New York were defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars

It is understood that on December 16, a 64-year-old Chinese man went to the police station to report that he met a man on the network on November 26, and the other party constantly lobbied him to invest in cryptocurrencies, saying that this is the most profitable method nowadays, recommending that he also try, and guaranteeing that he will take him to trade, sure to make no loss.

The Chinese man said that the other side helped him set up a transaction account called "bitcoin Wallet" (Crypto Wallet), he did not intend to deposit gold, but under the other side's repeated assurances, could not help but invest $390,000, however, a few days later when the account was found to be zero balance, he immediately contacted each other, found that the other side has long been blocked, That's when I realized I was cheated.

In another case, a 40-year-old Chinese woman met a man claiming to live in San Francisco on wechat on December 1, and the two have been in contact for several weeks, after getting familiar with the other side of the chat revealed that he is an investment adviser who can help him make money by investing in cryptocurrencies.

Convinced, the Chinese woman wired a sum of $108,000 to the other party and opened an account in an application called CKCOIN, but the account was blocked soon after, and when she contacted the other party, the man said that he needed to inject another $30,000 in funds to activate. At this time, the woman was afraid of being cheated again, and did not continue to deposit money according to the other party's instructions, but immediately reported to the police.

It is understood that the amount cheated in these two cases is very large, and the police have been involved in the investigation. Local police have said that mobile phone and Internet scams occur most frequently, with losses ranging from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and repeated police warnings have failed to prevent them.

Cryptocurrency scams also mostly use the "pig-killing" method to get close to the victim, gain trust, and induce the victim to download the fraud APP and make various "investments" on it, such as gambling, stocks, futures and even virtual currency online fraud.

Those who are cheated by the amount of hundreds of thousands or even millions of victims are often not "rich people", but do everything possible to loans, online loans, but finally empty people and ordinary people on the back of a debt. While the victim is still immersed in the bright future he or she has painted for you, they have quietly retreated, leaving behind empty accounts and a lot of debt...
