👮 Uncle: “Hello, this is the XX City Public Security Bureau. We need to understand your previous virtual currency trading situation……”
As soon as the call connected, I heard this, and even if I've been trading for a long time, I was probably shocked! But don’t lose your composure; the more flustered you are, the easier it is to say the wrong thing. Follow these 3 steps to cooperate with the investigation and reduce trouble.
First point: Clarify that our trading itself is not illegal
If the police ask whether the trading is legal, you can calmly tell them:
"Buying and selling virtual currency between individuals is not illegal, but if the source of the money is questionable, then you will have to take responsibility for its use."
The key is to let the police know that you are just an ordinary trader and that all operations were completed on legitimate platforms (or with individuals), not engaged in wrongdoing.
Second point: If asked to refund money, don't panic
If the police say that the money you received may have issues and ask you to return it, you must stay calm and communicate well. You can say:
"I will cooperate with you to clarify the situation and handle it as necessary."
Then, proactively present your trading records, transfer screenshots, and other evidence. The more you cooperate, the quicker the issues will be resolved, and it’s less likely to involve your other bank cards. Stubbornly resisting might turn a small issue into a big one.
Third point: Handle according to the situation; cooperation is key
There is a crucial distinction here:
· If identified as directly participating in illegal activities, all accounts may be frozen.
· But if it’s just a normal transaction and you accidentally received problematic money, usually only the card that received the money will be frozen.
The most important thing to remember is: cooperate well with the investigation; it will not leave you with a criminal record. But if you refuse to cooperate, the situation will change, and the measures taken will escalate.
One last reminder:
Trading in virtual currencies is not like buying groceries; every transfer may hide risks. Therefore, be sure to do the “three checks”:
· Check if the other party is reliable (preferably verified with real names)
· Check if the funds are clean
· Check if the wallet address is secure
In the cryptocurrency world, being steady is always more important than making quick money. Protect your own wallet and make sure not to get caught up in the whirlpool of scams!
