When "high return" meets "virtual currency", can it create a "blind faith" with double blessing? Is it possible to achieve "get rich overnight" with this seemingly high-end project? What investors value is "gaining wealth and wealth through insurance", but what criminals value is your pocketbook!
Mr. Lu, a resident of Haimen, Nantong City, has been dormant in a stock recommendation WeChat group for a long time. In March this year, he heard from a stock recommendation guru that the stock market was not doing well and was going to lead everyone to speculate in "virtual currencies." The stock recommendation guru sends a QR code to ask people who want to speculate in coins to download the "OCX" APP. Mr. Lu downloaded it excitedly. He cautiously invested several thousand yuan in the early stage and gradually made some money. Later, the stock recommendation expert urged Mr. Lu to pay a deposit of more than 70,000 yuan on the grounds that "NUS" and "WOT" new coins were listed and the new coins were listed. After paying the required amount, Mr. Lu saw the Singapore currency index rising. He wanted to sell the currency and withdraw cash, but found that he could not withdraw the money. The platform continued to require payment of a 5% profit tax. Mr. Lu was defrauded of more than 80,000 yuan in total.
Coincidentally, Ms. Mei from Qidong, Nantong, downloaded a virtual currency investment platform called "HaiSheng" APP through the introduction of her boyfriend on the Internet. Ms. Mei successively recharged about 300,000 yuan, and when she saw that she had made a lot of money in her account, she wanted to withdraw cash. The platform required payment of 20% tax, and Ms. Mei, who was eager to withdraw cash, immediately transferred the money without thinking. The platform asked for an additional deposit of US$5,000. Ms. Mei transferred the money again, but found that the platform made an error and could not withdraw cash. Ms. Mei was defrauded of more than 500,000 yuan in total.
Friendly reminder from the editor: On September 4, 2017, the People's Bank of China and other departments issued the "Announcement on Preventing Financing Risks of Token Issuance". The announcement stipulates that virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and Plus Coin are not issued by my country's monetary authorities, are not legally compulsory and compulsory, do not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot be circulated and used in the market. The illegal sale and circulation of virtual currencies is an act of illegal public financing without approval. There are currently no cases supported by the court.
Key points: "Virtual currency" does not have legal or compulsory monetary properties, and is not a currency in the true sense. Investing in "virtual currency" requires taking huge risks and is not protected by law. Investors must not blindly pursue high returns, and must not follow the trend and believe in "good promises" and fall into the trap of fraud gangs.
