The serious reality of cryptocurrency scam cases warned by the Ministry of Public Security
According to recent fraud prevention information released by the Ministry of Public Security, cryptocurrency-related scam cases have become a social issue. In June, the Criminal Investigation Bureau analyzed numerous electronic fraud cases and issued warnings specifically about scam patterns related to cryptocurrencies. Law enforcement agencies emphasize that all trading platforms claiming to offer cryptocurrency investments are highly likely to be fraudulent, and citizens should remain vigilant.
Common Tactics in Cryptocurrency Investment Scams
Currently, scammers are exploiting cryptocurrencies as a means of transferring funds. Criminal organizations utilize cryptocurrencies as a key channel for money laundering, concealing illegal profits. According to the analysis by the Ministry of Public Security, scammers often establish fake platforms under the guise of “cryptocurrency investment and asset management” to skillfully lure ordinary investors.
Sophisticated Techniques Used by Scammers
A characteristic of these scams is that scammers manipulate victims through multiple methods. Some malicious scammers pose as “currency traders” and, citing the risks of online trading, instruct investors to perform certain operations. They also use unknown links or QR codes to direct victims to fake websites, stealing personal information and funds. The methods of these scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated each year, with a rise in scams under the guise of cryptocurrency investments.
Risks of Cryptocurrency Investments Without Legal Protection
The police strongly warn citizens that current laws do not provide sufficient protection for cryptocurrency transactions. Investment schemes claiming to be “cryptocurrency investment and fund management” are essentially all fraudulent. If involved in a cryptocurrency scam, legal remedies are limited, making prior vigilance extremely important. The Ministry of Public Security urges basic self-defense awareness, such as not responding to uncertain investment offers and avoiding unknown platforms.
