Description
Recently, my friend encountered a scammer on the New York Chinese Information Network and lost tens of thousands of dollars. So she entrusted me to tell all my Chinese friends about her experience so that more people would not be deceived. Scammers are all around us, so be vigilant. My friend saw an advertisement for a Chinese tutor in Manhattan, so she called for consultation. The other party told her to use other contact methods, such as Line or WhatsApp to chat alone. Later, she learned that scammers rarely use WeChat. Even if they do, they use an account that does not have a WeChat circle of friends, or a newly applied account. After contacting me, the scammer used very generous conditions and without a few words decided that he was the most suitable friend for me. But if the child is not his own, but the child of a relative such as his sister or brother, he still has to wait. Then find a chance to chat. The character of the liar is a single person, between the ages of 36 and 39, who has experienced pain in life, such as being betrayed by his ex-girlfriend and a good brother, his company went bankrupt, and he lost everything. Later, after coming to the United States, he met a noble person for advice, made a successful investment, and now lives a wealthy life. Of course the liar does it step by step. My friend was in a low mood at that time. The liar greeted him morning and night, and he liked him. He felt like he had found his best friend in life. At this time, the scammer began to imply, intentionally or unintentionally, that he had good investment skills and could make a lot of money. Later my friend wanted to give it a try. The scammer will teach you step by step how to download the software. One is the official software, and the other is the software that the scammer later operated (Edge-crypto). It takes a long time to apply for the official software, and the procedures are required to be formal, but the latter software only requires an ID card. Because I am relatively unfamiliar with this, it is very confusing to download two at the same time, and I will lose vigilance. Because my friend trusted the scammer at that time, he had no suspicion. You only invested 5,000 yuan at first, and the scammer taught you step by step how to buy Bitcoin. You immediately made more than 600 yuan, and you could withdraw cash at that time. Later, the scammer said that there was a new trend and that he needed to increase his investment. If he had less money, it would be easy to liquidate his position. My friend invested all his hard-earned tens of thousands of dollars into it. During this process, the scammer will teach you step by step how to go to the bank for wire transfer, how to communicate with the so-called customer service, etc. At that time, I also made more than 10,000 yuan. However, later, the scammer used the interest rate increase to induce my friend to invest 200,000. Within a few days, if he could not make up the 200,000 in time, his account would be blocked. My friend didn't have that much money, and later other friends told me that even if he invested, he couldn't withdraw it. My friend endured the pain and cut his losses in time, and several years of savings were wiped out. Scammers take advantage of people's trust in them, their ignorance about virtual currencies, their anxiety about inflation, etc. to trick people into being fooled. Later, I also discovered that many people on the Internet had been deceived. If you are interested, you can look up "Pig Killing Plate" and you will know many such scams. Most of them use the emotional card to induce you to invest after gaining trust. After making small profits, they continue to increase investment. Later, they will not be able to withdraw cash or use other excuses to make your money go down the drain. So my friend wrote down his own experience to help more innocent and kind-hearted people avoid being deceived. As the saying goes, "If you show courtesy for nothing, you will be a thief or an adulterer." Be cautious when investing! Also be sure to discuss this with family and friends. Those who had similar experiences also boldly exposed them so that the scammers’ schemes could not succeed. Of course, the scammer's phone number will change, his name will change, and he may also use other recruitment methods to lure you in. Finally, I also warn the scammers: the legal network is open, no omissions will be missed! People are doing it, God is watching. "Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; whoever rolls a stone, it will roll back on him." Turn back soon! Reminder: Don’t rush to remit money or pay a deposit before seeing the real thing to avoid being cheated.
