Hey, everyone needs to be cautious! The Chinese Embassy in the Maldives just issued a warning about a new scam targeting our fellow countrymen.
The scam is quite convoluted; it starts with contacting local Tether (USDT) sellers, claiming to help with exchanges, and asks for a wallet address to transfer coins.
Then, they reach out to Chinese compatriots who have a lot of Maldivian Rufiyaa cash, arranging meetings with the sellers... This whole setup could lead to trouble if you're not careful.
So, friends in the Maldives, if an unfamiliar intermediary contacts you online for cryptocurrency exchanges, please be vigilant. Verify their identity and the authenticity of the transaction before proceeding.
When it comes to USDT transfers and meeting local sellers, you must confirm repeatedly. Don't easily transfer money to unfamiliar wallets. If something feels off, quickly seek help from local police or our embassy. Don't let the scammers succeed!
