Old Chen worked in a factory for many years, saving up 80,000 yuan, intending to buy a wedding house for his son. However, he was scammed out of all his savings because he trusted someone else's 'get-rich-quick scheme' in the cryptocurrency world. During that time, Old Chen was completely devastated and even considered suicide by jumping off a building. Fortunately, with the encouragement of his family, he gradually regained his spirits and decided to share his experience of being scammed, summarizing an 'Anti-Scam Guide' to help more people avoid scams.
Old Chen said that the reason he was scammed was that he wanted to get rich overnight. At that time, a stranger added him on WeChat, claiming to be a 'big player in the cryptocurrency world', with insider information that he could invest with and make guaranteed profits. The stranger even sent many false profit screenshots. In a moment of confusion, Old Chen followed the other party's investment advice, and at first, he made a small profit. Later, the other party urged him to increase his investment, saying it would 'hit higher returns'. After Old Chen invested 80,000 yuan, the other party disappeared, and he realized he had been scammed.
Here, I share the 'Anti-Scam Guide' summarized by Old Chen in the cryptocurrency world, which I have always emphasized that ordinary people must be vigilant about. First, be wary of terms like 'insider information' and 'guaranteed profits'. There is no such thing as 'insider information' in the cryptocurrency world; every investment carries risks, and those who shout 'guaranteed profits' are either scammers or trying to exploit you. Second, refuse to join unfamiliar 'investment groups'. Many scammers create investment groups through WeChat, QQ, and other means. Besides the victims, everyone else in the group is a scammer's accomplice. They will lure you into investing with false profit screenshots and chat records, so be decisive in refusing. Third, do not download unfamiliar apps. Many scammers create fake investment apps that will allow you to invest, but once you put in your funds, the app becomes inaccessible, and your money will be taken away by the scammers. Always download relevant apps through official channels. Fourth, be cautious when asked to transfer money. Scammers often use reasons like 'paying a deposit' or 'activating an account' to get you to transfer money to them. Whenever it involves a transfer, you must be vigilant and verify the other party's identity information.
Old Chen said that after he was scammed, he reported it to the police, but whether he can recover the money is still uncertain. He hopes that through his experience, he can remind more people: 'The cryptocurrency world is not a casino; making money requires your own effort and understanding. Do not trust others easily, or you may easily fall victim to scams.'
In fact, although there are many scams in the cryptocurrency world, as long as we maintain a clear mind and stay vigilant, we can avoid most traps.
