#数字资产市场动态 Someone shared a real cryptocurrency scam case online, and it sounds incredibly outrageous— a local investor was "lured" into virtual currency investment by an online acquaintance. Starting from mid-September, they transferred money in 8 installments to a designated account. Initially, the platform page showed a floating profit of 7.9 million, which seemed quite tempting. But when they wanted to withdraw, the platform suddenly demanded an additional 250,000 yuan, claiming it was a currency exchange fee. After the investor paid the money, the person disappeared. An investigation revealed that they didn't make a single penny; instead, they were scammed out of 1.18 million. This kind of scam is actually quite common—initially, they let you "see the returns," then they trap you at the withdrawal stage with layered fees, and finally run off with the money. Although the virtual currency market offers many opportunities, scams involving platform runaways happen every month. Be vigilant when choosing trading gains, and don't be fooled by the numbers on the screen.

1.18 million gone, how heartbreaking is that? I've really seen too many of these tricks. Withdrawal card stuck with fees? Just run it directly, an old script. Book value 7.9 million haha, superficial wealth is the most deadly.

1.18 million is gone, and you still need to add 250,000 to "withdraw"? This is a classic capital pool withdrawal trap, an old trick. The initial floating profit of 7.9 million should have been the first warning sign; all on-chain untraceable gains are fake. Again, 8 deposits, designated accounts, running off with the money—once you trace the flow of funds, it all exposes the scam. Why do people keep throwing money into these contract black holes? It's just page data; do you really think you've made a profit? You need to check the on-chain addresses to be sure. These types of scam cases happen every month. I think the problem isn't with the exchanges; it's human greed that can't be cured.

Here we go again, looking at a floating profit of 7.9 million, and then it turns to zero... human nature --- 1.18 million just disappeared like that, we need to learn a lesson --- Every month someone falls into this trap, when will it ever stop --- Withdrawal issues and fees, isn't this just outright theft --- Basically, it's an illusion of numbers, don't be fooled by the page --- Eight transactions sent out, none of them came back, how do you even calculate this --- Platform跑路 is like seasons, recurring periodically --- Seeing floating profits makes you excited, this illness needs treatment --- Exchange rate fees? Haha, just a cover-up --- In the crypto world, it's like this—either get rich overnight or lose everything

It's the same old trick again. Watching the account balance increase, only to be hit with all kinds of fees when withdrawing. 1.18 million, I really can't believe it.
