#哪些代币逆势上涨？ My hometown is in a rural area of Fujian, where there are quite a few people engaged in the online gambling industry. There are many that I have heard of. For more than a decade, this industry has never really gone away; we call it 'doing recruitment.' I am not very clear about the specifics of the business. In the early years, they might have relied on distributing paper-based pornographic advertisements or making pornographic phone calls to cheat middle-aged people out of their money. Later, regulation became stricter, ATM transfers could be reversed, and some less educated and less adaptable individuals were eliminated, causing this industry to quiet down for a while.
But not long after, various innovative online scams emerged again, with endless methods that even I find hard to guard against. Their business locations have also shifted from their own villages to other places, even going abroad, mainly concentrated in Myanmar and Cambodia. I heard that some people have gone to Dubai now.
In addition to telecom fraud, there are many similar 'IQ tax' projects, such as manipulating the so-called 'big market' for scams.
In our area, people refer to such illicit money as 'easy money.' In fact, everyone understands what this money is about and they don’t shy away from discussing it. Most young people in the village don’t have much ability (though there are a few who have done quite well through their own hard work and have built a good life for themselves), but the houses they build are more impressive than those in neighboring villages. During the New Year, playing mahjong can lead to wins and losses of hundreds of thousands in one night. Everyone is left wondering where this money really comes from. Those who earn 'easy money' spend it recklessly and lavishly.
In contrast, my parents have always relied on their own hard work, getting up early and working late in their business. I certainly wouldn’t let my family get involved in such illegal activities and have repeatedly explained the pros and cons to them. My mom actually understands everything, but when faced with the temptation of huge sums of money, even the greatest reasoning can seem powerless. After working hard all year, the money they earn doesn’t even compare to the small change that others can easily make.
I have a relative who was engaged in traditional telecom fraud a few years ago. The year before last, she went to Myanmar and reportedly made a lot of money. However, after returning, she hasn’t mentioned a word about her experiences in Myanmar. She is not very educated and has gradually found it hard to cope with the increasingly complex scam methods in recent years; she is now also slowly stepping away from it.
My cousin faced fraud while working before and ended up with a huge debt. My uncle is a respected elder whom I admire greatly. He has worked hard all his life but hasn’t saved much money. Later, my uncle's family went to Myanmar together about a year ago, and I am not very clear about the specifics. A few days ago, my cousin returned, and I heard from my mom that she made a large sum of money in Myanmar. I only saw her post photos with children on social media, and I heard she bought a villa and a sports car.
A distant relative from my cousin's in-law’s family also returned from Myanmar a few days ago, reportedly bringing back tens of millions in cash. He wanted to find someone to help him 'launder' the money and even said that the interest would go to the helper, but everyone knows this is illegal, and no one dares to agree.
They come and go freely between domestic and foreign locations, and I really can’t understand how they do it. This is just the situation with my relatives; there are even more people who are not related to me, from the same village or town, engaging in such illegal activities, but the forms of fraud are diverse. Some people make some money and, once their children grow up, they retire from it; some sell counterfeit drugs and end up losing everything in their last 'deal'; others, originally middle school teachers, are tricked by relatives and unwittingly invest in projects, becoming accomplices, losing their jobs and ending up in prison. Some couples end up in jail for participating in fraud, leaving their children to be cared for by their grandparents, and those children without grandparents are in an even more heartbreaking situation. When village people talk about the outcomes for these individuals, they do so with an air of indifference, as if it is all just 'survival of the fittest,' and nothing significant.
I haven’t returned to the village for many years. When I went back during the New Year, the village still seemed peaceful on the surface. Luxurious villas line the roadside, and luxury cars are everywhere. Those who manage to make money have happy marriages; those who can’t are mostly still single. When chatting with them, we only talk about trivial matters, as if those illegal activities have never happened. And the above matters, I have only heard from others.
