Early morning disturbance by an unknown number? Just one phrase like "Public Security Criminal Investigation Team" can scare people. This type of scam targeting digital asset holders has become routine, with each scheme more precise than the last. Some people, panicked, get tricked into giving away 20 mainstream coins in a single call, only to regret it afterward.

The key is not to be overwhelmed by panic. The scammer's weapon is very simple—impersonating official authorities and creating a sense of urgency. But once you realize what's happening, you'll see their vulnerabilities.

**How to Spot and Uncover These Schemes?**

When you receive such a call, there's no need to panic or anger the caller. Just respond with this statement: "Comrade, my digital asset transaction records are complete and all conducted through official channels. As an ordinary trader, I cannot verify the source of funds of my trading counterparts. I have no problem cooperating with investigations; I can provide transaction history, transfer receipts, and wallet addresses. However, this must go through proper legal procedures, and we will coordinate directly with public security and judicial authorities."

The brilliance of this response lies in three points: First, it shows you're innocent and not guilty; second, it clearly sets boundaries (you cannot verify the other party); third, it takes back control and forces the process to follow official channels. In the major cases nationwide last year involving hundreds of billions, many victims were caught off guard and said the wrong thing in a panic, leading scammers to extract more sensitive information, making subsequent rights protection even more difficult.

**Summary of Key Points**

Legitimate judicial investigations will never suddenly call you. Their approach is to notify you of case filing, send subpoenas, and follow formal procedures. But scammers know the psychology of crypto asset holders—fearing freezing, investigation, or losing their hard-earned wealth. These fears are real, but they are also exploited.

Stay alert and remember: official channels will never ask you to transfer funds, unfreeze assets, or delete transaction records over the phone. Any such request is almost certainly a scam.
