As the central bank's digital renminbi gradually enters the testing stage in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, digital currency is about to emerge in my country. At the same time, related rumors or false information are also emerging in an endless stream. What are the common routines to counteract the popularity of "digital currency"? Take a look!
Can you withdraw cash by signing in and learning online?
Recently, an illegal platform declared that “the platform is a country dedicated to the development of digital currency. Participants spend 138 yuan to purchase a secure USB, sign in and study in the app every day, and withdraw 75,000 yuan after passing the exam.”
After investigation by the police, it was discovered that this was a "trap" carefully arranged by lawbreakers. At present, the platform has been blocked by the police, and criminal suspects have been arrested one after another. I would like to remind everyone not to trust the so-called "experts" and "instructors" and high-return "digital currency" investments, but to make profits through legitimate investments.
Cooperate with foreign digital currency wallet payment?
An illegal platform defrauded money under the guise of "cooperating with foreign digital currency wallets to pay". The so-called digital currency of this type of project actually has no real value and is easy to collapse, causing a large number of users' assets to suffer losses. There are also some websites imitating official websites of foreign digital currencies, using functions such as "one-click cancel transfer" or "input mnemonics to cancel transactions" to induce users to enter information such as mnemonics or private keys, thereby stealing their digital assets.
In addition, some criminals have replaced their WeChat or APP avatars and information with similar foreign digital currency officials, in order to help users solve problems, ask users for private keys, or provide users with phishing website addresses, and then engage in illegal activities. Profit-making activities.
Can self-developed digital currency be linked to Bitcoin?
Some criminals imitated Bitcoin to build a website and declared that "the digital currency developed by oneself can be linked to Bitcoin." In fact, this is the reality of MLM fraud under the guise of digital currency. In the early days, the criminals made the so-called digital currency prices very high to attract users. After the users paid to register as members, the criminals obtained benefits through two methods, namely the membership fees paid by the users and the development of offline. Funds are directly controlled by the platform, and there is a risk of transferring funds and running out of funds.
Invest in "digital currency" beware of falling into the MLM trap
Some criminals implemented pyramid schemes under the name of "digital currency". Most of these MLM currencies are issued and traded on a platform built by an illegal organization, and cannot be freely circulated in the market.
In addition, MLM currency focuses on the recharge purchase transaction process, and does not mention its operation mechanism. Even the website does not have a link address of the source code, which cannot protect user data from illegal theft. Investing in this type of MLM currency is likely to be deceived and even subject to legal sanctions.
Remind investors: Dispel the idea of "speculation" in digital currency
The digital renminbi is legal currency and the digitization of cash. It has no collection or speculation value. Any project that uses the concept of digital renminbi for "marketing" and "profit sharing commission" will definitely not be true.
In addition, the digital renminbi is still in the stage of internal testing, and ordinary consumers do not have much contact opportunities. If you are interested in digital renminbi, you can follow the official activities and information released by major banks, and participate and experience through the rules announced by official activities. .
