Black Eat Black in the Crypto World: The Magical Reality of Scammers Being Scammed 💥

This circle truly has a lot of 'talents', scammers scamming scammers. Today, let's expose a few real cases to see how these 'industry big shots' were tricked by their own people👇

1. Fake Currency Dealers 'Phishing' Scam, End Up Becoming the 'Fish'

In a certain exchange's C2C area, a group of money-laundering currency dealers disguised themselves as legitimate merchants, specifically scamming newbies by selling USDT and transferring dirty money, resulting in buyers' bank cards being frozen. As a result, a 'peer' pretended to be a buyer, placed an order, and after the currency dealer made the payment, directly ran away, failing to launder the dirty money and instead getting a freebie of USDT from the 'peer'. Be cautious in OTC transactions; trading on Binance is still very safe.

Classic line:

"You think you're harvesting leeks? Actually, you're the leek!"

2. Hacker Steals $610 Million, Ends Up Being 'Hunted' by the Whole Network

Poly Network was hacked and $610 million was stolen. The hacker arrogantly left messages to provoke, not realizing that major exchanges joined forces to block his address, and even USDT was frozen. In the end, the hacker backed down, voluntarily returned the funds, and even claimed to be a 'white-hat hacker' doing good.

Magical ending:

Hacker: I just wanted to show off my skills!

Exchange: No, you didn't.

3. Shady Exchange Runs Away, Internal 'Distribution of Spoils' Fails

A certain shady exchange (Mxecoin) absconded with funds, and users' withdrawal requests failed, with customer service blaming 'hacker attacks'. As a result, the internal team had infighting due to unequal distribution of spoils, with some reporting to the police in the end.

4. 'Card Farmers' Sell Bank Cards, End Up Being 'Scammed' by 'Teams'

Some 'Card Farmers' (people who sell bank cards) thought they could make quick money by following 'teams' (money laundering groups), but the teams disappeared after withdrawing the stolen money using their cards. The card farmers not only didn't get paid but also got arrested due to being involved in the case. Don't be cannon fodder!

Avoid dirty money: frozen cards, imprisonment, being scammed by peers; the risks far outweigh the rewards.

Stay away from shady platforms: 99% of 'high returns' that claim to guide you for free are traps; either you're switching platforms or paying renewal fees, with orders given at random, frequent trading leading to losses and liquidations, and losses outweighing gains. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world; if you don't greedily seek small gains, you won't suffer big losses (this also applies to all aspects of life), and in the end, it will definitely be you who runs away.

Final reminder: The crypto world is deep; ordinary people should never touch grey or black industries! You think you're 'shearing sheep', but actually, you're the sheep 🐑
