Recently, Bitcoin continued to show a continuous expansion of the rally, breaking through the $60,000 mark again after 28 months, a one-day increase of 6%. As of the end of February, Bitcoin has been continuously increasing by 40% on almost all trading days of the month, except for 8 trading days. This strong rally has attracted the attention of a large number of investors, many of whom have begun to look for ways to buy bitcoin for investment income.
However, with the soaring price of Bitcoin, it may also attract the attention of some unscrupulous people. They will use Bitcoin's good rally as an excuse to exploit investors' enthusiasm for digital currencies to carry out fraudulent activities. They use various forms of fraud, such as "having internal channels", to trick people into believing that they can help buy bitcoin or participate in so-called high-yield investment projects, and ultimately defraud investors of their funds.
Not long ago, the Huiyuan Police Station in Pudong, Shanghai, received a telecommunications fraud case claiming to have "internal channels".
After receiving Xiao Wang's report, the Huiyuan Police Station of the Pudong Public Security Bureau immediately launched an investigation. Xiao Wang and Zhu have been high school classmates for many years, and they have a deep foundation of friendship. At a party, Xiao Wang mentioned the difficulty of buying concert tickets, and Zhu enthusiastically said that he could help buy tickets through "internal channels", and claimed that he could also buy high-end cigarettes at ***. Due to their trust and friendship with Zhu, Xiao Wang and his relatives and friends transferred money to Zhu to buy tickets and cigarettes, and paid a total of about 140,000 yuan.
However, as the date of the concert approached, Zhu never fulfilled his promise, resulting in the disappointment of the expectations of Xiao Wang and his relatives and friends. When Xiao Wang asked for a refund, Zhu refused to return it, making Xiao Wang realize that he was not only deceived, but also fell into a "killing" fraud.
The Huiyuan Police Station quickly intervened in the investigation and summoned Zhu to the police station. When examined, Zhu confessed to his fraud and admitted that the proceeds had been squandered for various consumption.
At present, Zhu has been criminally detained in accordance with the law on suspicion of fraud, and the case is being further investigated.
Through this case, we are reminded to be vigilant and choose a formal and reliable trading platform to trade to avoid being harmed by telecom fraud.
