💗The police officer wants to talk to you about virtual currency trading, what should you do? Stay calm! These 3 tips are key!
Today at noon, I suddenly received a call: "Hello, this is the Hangzhou Public Security Bureau..."
As soon as I heard it was 👮♂️ the officer calling to inquire about virtual currency trading, even seasoned investors had to feel a jolt! But don’t panic, being flustered can easily lead to saying the wrong thing. Remember these few tips, which can help you take control in critical moments:
First point: Stay firm, trading itself is not illegal
If the police ask about the legality of the trade, you can clearly and calmly state:
"Personal buying and selling of virtual currency is a legal civil act, but I firmly do not participate in any illegal money laundering activities."
The core is to make it clear to the police: you are just an ordinary investor, and all trades are conducted on legitimate platforms or between individuals, unrelated to illegal activities.
Second point: If asked to refund, calm communication is the best strategy
If you are told that the funds received have issues and need to be refunded, avoid emotional confrontation. You should respond like this:
"I am willing to actively cooperate, clarify the facts, and handle it according to the law. Here is my transaction record, please verify."
Afterwards, proactively submit complete transaction records, communication logs, and other evidence. The higher the level of cooperation, the quicker the issue can be resolved, and it can also minimize the risk of involving other accounts. A strong resistance will only complicate simple issues.
Third point: Differentiate handling methods, fully cooperate with the investigation
Here is a key distinction:
· If identified as a party involved in the case (participating in crime), all associated accounts may be frozen.
· If it is just a normal transaction mistakenly receiving illicit funds, usually only the card directly receiving the payment will be frozen.
The most critical point is: actively cooperating with the investigation will not leave a criminal record, but if you refuse to cooperate, you may face escalated measures.
A few final pieces of advice:
Trading in cryptocurrencies is different from ordinary investments; every transfer may hide risks. Be sure to adhere to the "three checks" principle:
· Check the counterparty: Confirm the identity of the trading partner, prioritize users who have undergone real-name verification.
· Check the funds: Pay attention to the source of funds, remain vigilant about unusual transactions.
· Check the address: Ensure that the wallet address used is safe and reliable.
In the cryptocurrency space, progressing steadily is far more important than chasing high profits. Protect your assets well, and never get caught up in any scams!
