A Chengdu programmer encountered a "sexy trap" and 6 bitcoins disappeared!
Wang Shu (pseudonym), a 35-year-old software engineer, never imagined that the "beautiful trader" he met online was actually an elaborate scam.
In August 2024, Wang Shu met a woman who called herself "BTC Cong'er" on Twitter. After chatting for several months, they agreed to meet at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Chengdu. Who knew that what was waiting for him was not a romantic encounter, but a "honey trap" - an accomplice suddenly broke into the room, threatened with forged evidence, and forced Wang Shu to transfer 6 bitcoins worth $400,000!
Beware! New cryptocurrency scam is spreading
What is even more shocking is that until March 2025, the Twitter account of "BTC Cong Er" was still active and continued to post tempting content. The police have intervened in the investigation and reminded investors: Be cautious when making friends online and never conduct cryptocurrency operations in unfamiliar environments. Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch, but there are really traps!
