Fake "Crypto Traders" Are True Gamblers🚨🚨 Beware of Online OTC Transactions

Online USDT Shopping Scammed, Hunan Police Help Recover and Return All Involved Funds
On May 20, according to "Hunan Daily," at around 8 p.m. on February 9, the Baoding Public Security Bureau in Hunan Province received a report from a victim named Mr. Liu from another province, claiming he was scammed while purchasing virtual currency $USDT online, losing a total of 100k yuan. After receiving the report, the Baoding County Public Security Bureau dispatched capable officers to form a special investigation team and conducted case investigations overnight.
The investigating officers used multiple investigative methods to ultimately identify the suspect as Shi. Upon investigation, the suspect Shi had no fixed income and lacked the qualifications for virtual currency trading. To scam money, he collected screenshots of others trading cryptocurrencies online, forged false profit records, and impersonated an experienced "crypto trader" to gain trust. Victim Mr. Liu believed him and transferred 100k yuan into a designated account of Shi. After receiving the funds, Shi did not deliver the virtual currency but instead used part of the money for gambling and extravagance, while the remaining funds were split, transferred, and hidden. The investigators precisely analyzed the flow of funds, comprehensively collected evidence related to the case, quickly identified Shi’s identity and activity trajectory, and decisively launched an operation on the night of the report, successfully arresting Shi. The next day, the case was officially filed for investigation. After solving the case, the police adhered to the principle of "solving the case and recovering the stolen funds," patiently conducted legal and policy education, actively mobilized the suspect’s family to cooperate in compensation, and ultimately recovered the full 100k yuan involved.
On the morning of May 14, the recovered 100k yuan scam funds were fully returned to the victim Mr. Liu. Currently, suspect Shi has been taken into criminal detention for suspected fraud, and the case is under further investigation.
