Real Cases
Mr. Li met a netizen named "Dream Wealth Path" on WeChat. This netizen claims to be an expert in "foreign exchange investment" and confidently claims to be able to lead Mr. Li to easily earn wealth. Mr. Li was deeply moved upon hearing this and decided to take a risk. He then clicked on the link shared by the other party and downloaded a mobile app.
Under the patient guidance of the other party, Mr. Li invested 20000 yuan in "foreign exchange trading" through the APP. Shortly thereafter, his account showed a "profit" of 60000 yuan, which excited Mr. Li greatly. However, when he tried to withdraw, the app showed an error message and he was unable to withdraw.
Mr. Li, who was extremely anxious, immediately contacted the "customer service" of the APP. The "customer service" informed him that he could only withdraw when the account balance reached 80000 yuan. In order to withdraw as soon as possible, Mr. Li immediately recharged more than 20000 yuan without hesitation. However, surprisingly, the app later showed that an additional deposit was required to withdraw funds.
Under the constant urging of customer service, Mr. Li had to grit his teeth and pay a deposit of over 50000 yuan. Just as he was eagerly anticipating the opportunity to withdraw, the app suddenly displayed the words' withdrawal terminated '. At this moment, Mr. Li suddenly realized that he had been deceived and immediately went to the police station to report it.
Avoid falling into fraud "traps" and remember these 5 tips
1. Beware of investment advice from unfamiliar netizens
Be highly vigilant about investment advice or profit opportunities provided by unfamiliar netizens on social platforms such as WeChat and QQ. Do not easily believe so-called 'investment experts' or' insider information '.
2. Be cautious when clicking on unknown links
Do not click on links sent by strangers or download apps from unknown sources. These links or apps may contain malicious software that can steal your personal information or funds.
3. Rationally deal with the temptation of "high returns"
High returns often come with high risks. For investment projects that claim to be easily profitable and quickly recouped, one should be particularly cautious and not be blinded by momentary greed.
4. Verify platform qualifications
Before making any investment, it is essential to verify the qualifications and reputation of the relevant platform. You can check the registration information and business license of the platform through official channels to avoid falling into illegal fundraising or fraud traps.
5. Beware of the 'customer service' trap
Scammers often set up false "customer service" to induce victims to continue investing money. When encountering withdrawal issues or other doubts, it is necessary to verify information through official channels and not trust the one-sided words of "customer service".
