Wuhan police smashed a fraud den that was suspected of inducing "netizens" to recharge virtual currency on a fake platform

PANews reported on June 7th that according to Guangming Net, the Dongxihu Police in Wuhan recently dismantled a fraud den hidden in the countryside, arresting 32 suspects, with 20 of them criminally detained. After interrogation, the fraud gang disguised themselves by creating a "beautiful and wealthy" dating script, boasting about virtual currency investment returns, and then luring victims into their fabricated investment platform. The scammers used carefully crafted "scripts" to show care and concern to victims, gradually building rapport, and then extensively showcasing their "investment" gains. Once victims became interested, suspects would send fake investment websites, inducing victims to purchase virtual currencies and invest on the fake platform. The returns were controllable by the scammers, but "withdrawals" were impossible. Currently, the case is being further investigated.
