According to ChainCatcher, according to the Jindun Guang'an WeChat account, public security authorities in Guang'an City, Sichuan Province, recently reported that criminals were promoting the "digital RMB" to the elderly in crowded places like stadiums, using the guise of "state endorsement and central bank cooperation" as a pretext. They were also recruiting promoters and collecting personal identification and communication information, in an attempt to commit fraud.

Police reminded that there is no room for speculation in the digital RMB, and that related red envelopes can only be redeemed through formal financial and government channels. The public should be wary of the risks of personal information leakage and financial loss.
