Last second, 50,000 U just safely bagged, next second, the bank card freeze text and the police station call came. This plot is more thrilling than a roller coaster, but getting involved is a real hassle.
Brother, in case you get caught, remember the core principle: Don't panic, speak well, but get straight to the point. $BTC
If Uncle Hat comes to talk to you, here are a few key dialogues to nail down:
1. When asked "Do you know this is illegal?"
Don't just say "I know". You need to clarify: this is your personal transaction of virtual currency, you're just a trader, and you have no idea whether the other party's money is clean. Legally, this is called "good faith acquisition".
2. When asked to "return everything"
Don't immediately back down and say "I'll return everything". You can express your attitude: you're willing to cooperate, but you're also an uninformed victim in this matter and hope to negotiate a reasonable proportion instead of taking all the blame.
3. When pressured with "If you don't cooperate, you'll have a record"
Don't be scared. Respond calmly: you have provided all transaction records (platform orders, chat, on-chain transfer hashes), and are actively cooperating with the investigation. You are just trading normally and should not be treated as a suspect.
But ultimately, the best strategy is to prevent this from happening. Before you make a deal, take five minutes to do these things to avoid 99% of the pitfalls:
Check the other party's background: Only deal with verified accounts that have good transaction records. New registrations or unverified accounts, no matter how much premium they offer, should be avoided.
Use platform guarantees: Honestly use the official guaranteed transactions of large platforms; don't transfer privately just to save a little fee or for convenience.
Capture all evidence: For every transaction, take order screenshots, complete chat records, and on-chain transaction hashes (TxID), not missing a single one; store them properly on-site.
Use separate cards: Prepare a specific card for deposits and withdrawals, and don't mix it with living expenses or salary cards. In case something goes wrong, it won't freeze the whole family's finances.
Don't be greedy for small gains: Orders significantly above market price are likely bait. Don't think that you are lucky; trading at fair market price is the most stable. $ETH
In this market, making money is a skill, but safely pocketing the money is an even greater skill. Think one step ahead in everything, and you will have fewer troubles. @luck萧
