#币圈骗局
1 High Return Scams

- Common phrases used by scammers: "Guaranteed profit" "Monthly return of 50%" "Let you earn passively"

- Truth: There are no guaranteed profit projects in the cryptocurrency world; high returns come with high risks, and it could even be a Ponzi scheme.

2 Pig Butchering (Romance Investment Scam)

- Scammers disguise themselves as "big shots in the crypto world" or "trusted online friends," first building a relationship before luring you to invest in fake platforms.

- Typical case: An online friend leads you to a "high-yield project," only to find out the website disappeared when you try to withdraw.

3 Fake Exchanges/Wallets

- They forge official websites or apps of well-known exchanges, tricking you into entering your account and password to steal your assets.

- Anti-fraud tip: Always download apps from official channels, and do not click on unfamiliar links!

4 False ICOs/Air Coins

- The project party hypes up the project, but in reality, there is no technical team, and they disappear right after issuing the coin.

- Identification method: Check the team's background, see if the white paper is reliable, and don’t believe the nonsense that it will "only go up and never go down."

5 Withdrawal Restrictions/Signs of Scam

- Some shady exchanges may suddenly raise withdrawal thresholds or even shut down the withdrawal function entirely.

- If you encounter such situations, withdraw quickly! Don’t wait until the platform disappears to regret it.

Only choose legitimate exchanges.

Enable 2FA two-factor authentication; don’t give hackers a chance.

Store large assets in cold wallets, don’t keep everything on exchanges.

Do not easily trust strangers, especially those who privately message you to help you make money.

Test with small withdrawals first to avoid being stuck with funds.

Don’t fall for FOMO, stay calm!

Pi coin is listed on OKEx, is it a myth of getting rich quickly or a new way to cut leeks?

Pi coin announced its listing on OKEx (OKX) exchange. As soon as the news came out, the entire currency circle exploded. Pi coin, known as the "ancestor of mobile mining", has finally emerged from the gray area, but the story behind it is not that simple.

Pi coin is a "hot commodity" in the eyes of the middle-aged and elderly groups. The slogan of zero-cost mining has attracted more than 35 million users worldwide.
The seemingly simple mining game actually hides a mystery:
Recommended rebate pyramid: For every head pulled, 30% mining acceleration is rewarded.
Hungry marketing: "Early participants will receive a thousand-fold return."
Brainwashing community operation: "Wealth lectures" three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.
These routines have allowed Pi coin to spread rapidly, but they have also caused conflicts in many families. According to data from the anti-fraud platform, in 2022 alone, more than 200 middle-aged and elderly people had fierce conflicts with their children because of investing in Pi coin.

The technology of Pi coin has also been questioned. Technical expert Li Ming pointed out: "The blockchain of Pi coin is still a centralized server. The so-called main network has been delayed five times in three years. This is more like an advanced point game than a cryptocurrency."

The blueprint of the financial empire drawn by the project party is becoming more and more bizarre: from decentralized social networking to cross-border payments, and even to building a metaverse economic system. But the reality is that the transfer success rate of its wallet function, which has been tested for three years, is still less than 60%.

In this national carnival, the most dangerous thing is cognitive dislocation. Lao Chen, a 60-year-old Zhejiang businessman, mortgaged his property to buy Pi coin. He firmly believes: "Didn't no one believe in Bitcoin at the beginning?"

Coin circle analysts gave amazing data: 94% of the "innovative currencies" that landed on second-tier exchanges in the past three years returned to zero within half a year. Those projects that claimed to subvert the financial order eventually became bloody nutrients in the exchange's traffic pool.

When the sword of supervision was hanging high, the exchange and the project party staged the last crazy dance. In this game of passing the flower, those who can really get away unscathed are always those who quietly leave before the gong sounds. What is left for ordinary investors may only be a string of numbers that can never be withdrawn, and a mining button in the phone that will never light up again.

Recently, the market has been highly volatile and difficult to control, but this is often when scammers thrive. They specifically target active investors on social media, using "high yield screenshots" and "insider information" as bait, gradually luring people to fake platforms.

The recent scam incident involving a fake CEEX exchange utilized "human weaknesses" and "technical loopholes" to carry out the fraud.

According to investor descriptions, the scammer claimed to be "Wu Zhihua" (English name Alex), claimed to be from Hubei, graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics with a degree in statistics and finance, and studied trading techniques under Wall Street traders in the United States. He is currently employed at Merrill Lynch's Los Angeles office.

Wu Zhihua proactively contacted him through social media, gaining trust by presenting himself as a "professional trader" and crafting the image of a successful person. After winning the investor's trust, Wu Zhihua guided him to a platform called "CEEX Exchange" (https://ceex-vipivna.com), encouraging him to invest funds for trading.

After the initial investment, the platform showed account profits continuously growing. At one point, he withdrew a portion of his funds, but when the account balance reached $106,302.9, he attempted to withdraw again, only to be met with various excuses from the platform. At this point, Wu Zhihua completely disappeared, leaving him with nothing.

Investigations revealed that the domain of the fake CEEX exchange (https://ceex-vipivna.com) was established on July 26, 2024, with a very short operational time.

Surviving in this chaotic and fluctuating market is already not easy. Losing is one thing, but getting scammed again would be a real disaster. The market is inherently volatile; the more turbulent it gets, the more calm one needs to be. Don't be careless just because you're eager to recover your losses.
