According to BlockBeats, on September 22, according to the Procuratorate Daily, the means of assisting information network criminal activities are constantly changing, and telecommunications network fraud cases caused by virtual currencies also occur from time to time.
In June this year, the criminal suspect Yang logged into the black and gray market trading platform “Huiwang” through a chat software and joined the chat group for buying and selling virtual currency “U coins” on the platform. Subsequently, Yang, Jin, and He jointly invested 220,000 yuan, and Yang bought virtual currency from a “U merchant” in the group at a price three cents lower than the platform transaction price, and deposited it in the account of the “U merchant” to receive tasks. The so-called task is to help the “U merchant” sell “U coins” and collect the sales funds. On June 8, Yang was instructed by the “U merchant” to collect 220,000 yuan in cash from the victim Gao by selling “U coins” in collusion with Jin and He, and then put the 220,000 yuan in cash in the designated location of the “U merchant”. The “U merchant” then transferred the remuneration to Yang’s “U coin” account in the form of “U coins”. The three made a total profit of 3,800 yuan.
According to the report, in my country, foreign exchange transactions must be conducted at designated places by the state, otherwise it is considered illegal foreign exchange transactions, and serious cases will be subject to criminal liability. Therefore, the prosecutor reminded investors not to easily trust others and withdraw large amounts of cash from banks to buy virtual currencies in order to gain a small amount of profit. They should remain rational, strengthen risk prevention awareness and identification capabilities, always be vigilant against virtual currency scams, and stay away from illegal fundraising.
