Ten-year-old leeks? The liar’s sickle will still uproot you!
I just saw the case of the girl in Hong Kong, and I was really speechless. After ten years of cryptocurrency trading, she got caught by two fake customer service representatives, and 4 million was wiped out! You must be wondering: How can an old veteran still fail? Let me tell you - experience is nothing in front of the "precise harvesting" of the scammers! This girl was betrayed by a phishing link for the first time, and then she believed the fake specialist on Telegram who "can help you recover your losses", and she was killed again! Does this operation sound like your group friend next door shouting "I have an internal channel to compensate for the stolen U"? Remember: a real platform will never ask you for your password on Telegram! Whoever wants it is the scammer's real father!
Why do old hands also become a dish? I uncover the three-layer routine of the scammers:
Specializing in "experience blind spots"：
Veterans think they know the process and relax their vigilance when they see "official customer service". The result? The phishing page forged by the scammers looks more real than the real thing! Last year, I saw a fake website imitating a large firm. Even the domain name was different by one letter. When you click on it, a pop-up window asks you to enter the mnemonic phrase.The loss will be cleared in one second, and even gods can’t save it!Grasping the “sunk cost” mentality：
After being cheated for the first time, people become like gamblers who are desperate. The scammer immediately pretends to be a "debt collection specialist" and hands over a knife: "Pay a 10% deposit, and I will help you hack into the other party's wallet!"This is just rubbing salt into the wound!It’s exactly the same routine as those order-calling teachers who ask you to “add money to make up for your losses” after your positions are liquidated!High interest rates tempt greedy people：
Let's look at another case in Hong Kong: a fraudulent restaurant held an "oil investment dinner" and boasted a daily interest rate of 2% (Annualized 720%! Money doubles in one year and still turns around?) fooled the elderly into paying cash on the spot. What was the result? The book figures increased rapidly, and a 10% "handling fee" was deducted for cash withdrawal, and then a 10% "thawing fee" was required...The classic Ponzi scheme will be passed down forever, and people will continue to donate money!
My three hardcore anti-fraud rules (tested to save your life):
I will never admit that "the customer service who came to me"：
Whether it's Telegram, WeChat or Twitter,90% of the “official accounts” you actively search for are fakes!Is there really something going on? Just open the official website saved in your Bookmark! Don’t be lazy!Mnemonic/password = life and property, whoever wants it will be in trouble：
Even the God can’t give it to me! The most outrageous operation I’ve ever seen: a scammer pretends to be an exchange email, saying “system upgrade requires verification of mnemonic phrase”——Bullshit! How can the platform ask you for something that even your parents don’t know about?Super high returns = super high risks = super high probability of being a scam：
If you hear "X% daily interest" or "guaranteed profit", just block them! Think with your feet: if there is really such a money printing machine, will it be your turn? Last year, a certain "ETH2.0 staking mining pool" also boasted about this before running away, taking away 100,000 ETH!Remember: getting rich in the cryptocurrency world depends on cycles, not on pie falling from the sky!
My friend, do you think that scammers only target rookies? This case is a real blow to the head! —— The scammers are sharpening their knives, but you are still running naked?
Shen Ce suggests: Those who survive in the cryptocurrency world are not the smartest, but those who are most afraid of death.#加密立法新纪元
