Recently, there have been warning cases about virtual currency investment scams that all investors should pay attention to.

A local female netizen fell victim to a classic investment scam: she was induced by strangers on social media to participate in virtual currency investment. Starting from mid-September, she transferred funds to a designated account eight times in a row. The scam gang is very good at creating illusions— the platform interface showed that her account had already "profit of 7.9 million yuan," and this false high-yield illusion made the victim believe even more. But when she wanted to withdraw, the scam came: the platform suddenly demanded a 250,000 yuan fee to release the funds, citing "exchange rate difference." After paying, what happened? The scammer disappeared, and the platform could no longer be contacted. It was finally confirmed that the total amount scammed was as high as 1.18 million yuan.

Similar cases are still ongoing. Another middle-aged man also fell for it, but this time the scammer used a different guise—posing as a "stock securities investment advisor," using the exact same tactics to induce victims to deposit funds, involving amounts over 110,000 yuan.

The characteristics of this type of scam are very obvious: fake platforms, high-yield promises, withdrawal restrictions, and gradual escalation. All investors must stay vigilant.
