Apakah mata uang virtual menjadi alat penipuan dalam penyelesaian transaksi? Polisi ungkap jaringan penipuan "kartu coba makan" di rantai hitam

【Chain News】Recently there’s something to pay attention to——police departments in Shanghai, Yunnan, Gansu, Hainan and other regions have all issued warnings about a batch of scammers operating under the guise of famous supermarkets offering “free benefits.”

How do they commit these crimes? Simply put, the division of labor is clear: some people are responsible for street-level promotion distributing “tasting cards,” and these people contact fraud gangs through overseas communication software. Each time they complete distributing a card, they take photos and upload them——residential community addresses, door numbers, and even fake promotional materials pasted on door handles are all recorded and filed.

The most critical part is that the fraud gang leaders periodically settle fees with these runners using virtual currency. This tactic is indeed ruthless, using digital asset transfers to conceal identities and transaction records, which is much more covert than traditional transfers.

Police have specially reminded: don’t participate in this kind of “street promotion part-time job” just to make quick money. You might think you’re just distributing flyers, but in reality you’re helping scammers precisely obtain victim information. This is not only illegal, but you’ll also bear legal consequences. Once implicated, virtual currency transfer records and such can all become evidence in the chain. It’s not worth it.
