Mentioning 'pig-butchering scams', many people may still feel uneasy - those scams that target emotional needs, use sweet talk to induce investments, and ultimately abscond with savings have caused countless individuals to see their hard-earned money 'go down the drain'. Just last year, Binance delivered a tangible report card in its anti-fraud efforts in the Asia-Pacific region: successfully assisting in freezing 47 million dollars related to pig-butchering scams, safeguarding an important financial line for the victims.
This achievement is not accidental. In response to the high prevalence of pig-butchering scams in the Asia-Pacific region (covering major markets such as Southeast Asia and East Asia), Binance collaborated with local police, payment institutions, and anti-fraud organizations last year to establish a 'real-time monitoring - rapid tracing - coordinated freezing' network: once the system detects typical funding characteristics of pig-butchering scams such as 'high-frequency small transfers, cross-platform fund collection, and strangers inducing investments', it immediately initiates verification and synchronously pushes clues to the corresponding law enforcement departments to complete freezing operations before the scam funds are transferred.
What reassures victims even more is that these frozen funds are not just 'frozen and forgotten' - as of now, some funds have completed identity verification under the guidance of the police and are gradually being returned to the deceived users; for funds whose ownership has not yet been clarified, dedicated personnel will follow up and cooperate with the police to trace the funding chain of the fraud group.
In fact, in addition to specifically freezing pig-butchering funds, Binance is also continuously upgrading its anti-fraud measures: for example, launching a 'suspicious transaction alert' function that informs users in real-time when abnormal transfers occur in their accounts; regularly collaborating with the police to release (Asia-Pacific pig-butchering scam trend reports) that dissect the latest scam tactics (such as the new scam of 'virtual romance + cryptocurrency investment'); and even setting up an 'anti-fraud classroom' within the app to teach users to identify scam rhetoric using real cases.
After all, combating fraud has never been a one-sided affair for the platform - have you ever encountered suspicious emotional inducements, or been recommended 'high-yield cryptocurrency investments'?
