Strait Herald: Zhangzhou woman fell into the "Bitcoin" investment trap and was defrauded of more than 90,000 yuan in one month

On December 16, Jiang, who lives in downtown Zhangzhou, reported to the police that she had fallen into a "Bitcoin" investment trap designed by scammers and was defrauded of more than 90,000 yuan in just one month.

It is understood that one day in November, Jiang suddenly received a message on WeChat from a stranger requesting to add a friend, and she passed the verification without thinking much.

On December 9, the "friend" began to send messages to Jiang, saying that he was from Longhai and was currently in Macau. He had inside information about "Bitcoin" transactions, but because of ID restrictions, it was not convenient for him to operate his account at the moment, and he hoped that Jiang, who was in the mainland, could operate on his behalf. Jiang agreed. After that, the "friend" sent Jiang a website link of "×× Exchange" and also sent Jiang the account password. Jiang followed the other party's request and then logged into the website and operated "Bitcoin" transactions under the other party's guidance. What Jiang found incredible was that within just a few days, the netizen's account actually showed a profit of 170,000 yuan.

At this time, the netizen "kindly" advised Jiang to register an account to "make money together". Jiang could not resist the temptation, and then followed the other party's instructions and found the "customer service" of "×× Exchange" to ask about recharge and investment. The "customer service" quickly gave Jiang a bank account and asked her to transfer money directly into it and then place an order on the website.

Jiang believed it and began to transfer money to the account designated by the "customer service" through mobile banking, and recharged a total of 92,850 yuan in multiple times. Jiang was delighted to see that on the "×× Exchange" website, the amount in her personal account had climbed to 193,641.4 yuan.

At noon on December 14, Jiang, who was full of expectations, decided to use all the money in her website account for "Bitcoin" transactions. As a result, the system showed that Jiang had lost all the money, with only a small amount of 0.4 yuan left in her account. Jiang quickly contacted the "customer service", but found that she had been "banned from accessing". Only then did she realize that she had been deceived and called the police for help.

The police remind people not to easily believe in high-yield investments promised by strangers, do not easily trust some unfamiliar financial websites and apps, and do not easily click on links sent by strangers to perform related operations.
