A woman was defrauded by investing in "Bitcoin speculation" and the Wangcheng police promptly recovered more than 500,000 yuan

November 18th news: "I regret it so much now. Don't trust any stranger when talking about investment." Recently, the Changsha Wangcheng Public Security Bureau successfully froze the suspect's five bank cards through hard work, and promptly recovered more than 500,000 yuan in losses for the victim Xiaolu (pseudonym).

In July this year, Xiaolu met a man named Lu on an online dating platform. Lu claimed to be a single criminal defense lawyer in the United States. Lu chatted with Xiaolu every day, asking about her well-being, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.

During the chat, Lu claimed that the epidemic in the United States was very serious and he had no source of income when he went out to work, but the Bitcoin market was good, so he wanted to take Xiaolu to trade Bitcoin to make money. Under Lu's sweet talk, Xiaolu trusted him very much and downloaded a digital currency trading platform as required, entered her personal information and performed real-name authentication. Later, Xiaolu also downloaded a financial APP and registered.

With the help of Lu, Xiaolu recharged 10,000 yuan on the platform to buy legal currency, and then withdrew the currency to the financial APP. Soon, Xiaolu earned more than 700 yuan and successfully withdrew the money. Xiaolu was immediately ecstatic and prepared to continue to make a fortune.

In the following half month, Xiaolu recharged 350,000 yuan through mobile banking. But when Xiaolu was ready to withdraw cash, no matter how she operated, it was not as smooth as before. When Xiaolu contacted the financial APP platform customer service, the customer service always asked Xiaolu to transfer money for various reasons such as the need to pay deposits, taxes, and handling fees.

In order to take a gamble, Xiaolu transferred more than 700,000 yuan to the platform in several times, but the platform could no longer be logged in. At this time, Xiaolu suddenly realized that she had been cheated.

After receiving the alarm, Yueliangdao Police Station of Wangcheng District Public Security Bureau immediately set up a special task force to carry out emergency stop payment work and promptly recovered more than 500,000 yuan in losses. Currently, the case is still under further investigation. (Huasheng Online)
