(Synopsis: Bitrace 2025 Crypto Crime Report Fraud Surges and Regulatory Freezes Improve) (Background Supplement: New ATM Withdrawal Regulations" "No Full Face" May Trigger Alarm, Tainan Trial Fight Scam Drivers from May ) The instant zeroing of deposits is not alarmist, but the result of the scam that "atypical virtual currency investors" may face at present. What's more cruel is that the routine of victims being deceived has not changed, mainly fraudsters select victims from the Internet, start dating from strangers, and only introduce virtual currency investment after gaining trust. A female netizen in Taiwan expressed her emotions on Threads, saying that she was defrauded by virtual currency by 570,000 yuan at the 30-year-old mark, and her deposit was directly zeroed, and she couldn't get out for a week. Unexpectedly, this post quickly attracted a lot of people who had been scammed! The following is an excerpt from some of the victims' messages. "I've been scammed over 60 million." "At the age of 28, I was cheated of 8 million yuan and owed a debt, I was relieved, and I worked hard to repay the mortgage, I can try to do business or run self-media, now I am about to pay off the mortgage, and my life is the same as new!" "I was defrauded of 4.5 million yuan last year, and now I have to repay 30,000 loans every month, and the defendant launders money, I hope to comfort you a little after reading my experience." "It's okay, I was cheated of 300,000 yuan the first time, and 600,000 the second time, is this comforting to you." "I was also deceived to enter the currency circle, but I want to thank him now, without him, I would not seriously study, examine my own shortcomings, and finally rely on the currency circle to make money." "570,000... When I was 23 years old, I went to credit 920,000 and invested 1 million and was scammed. At the beginning, because she believed in her friends, she strongly recommended her boyfriend and insisted that he had returned the money, and I and several others also watched each other's on-site operations, and really would operate us before investing. Who knows that he later spent the money on electronic amusement parks and lottery shops, and has so far found at least seven victims including me, with a total amount of more than 9 million. This case is still being processed, and I still have more than 800,000 loans to repay" "Like me, I encountered fraud at the age of 32, but I was deceived by more than 2 million, I spent a month to cheer myself up, worked hard to make money and work to pay back the bank money, and stood up from scratch, but the money really can't be returned, and it's useless to sue." "Don't think too much, I was cheated of more than 1.4 million so far to work hard to pay off debts, and now half of the past three years are left, the body can earn it back, and it is a very valuable lesson and process, come on." According to statistics, global virtual currency fraud has caused losses of more than $9.3 billion in 2024, and social media platforms such as Threads, Instagram, WhatsApp and Telegram are becoming hunting grounds for scam groups. Cryptocurrencies and virtual currencies are not fraudulent, but are used by fraud groups as the most popular deceptive investment tools. I hope that those who have been victimized will seek justice, and emotionally hope that you will go through. If you hear friends, relatives, and netizens recommend "this is very profitable" and ask you to download an unknown exchange program, platform, or any highly profitable investment that requires money, please think calmly, look at this victim's complaint record, and ask yourself, is it so easy and easy to earn?
