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

Planet Daily News: According to Guangming Network, the police in Dongxihu, Wuhan recently dismantled a fraud den hidden in the countryside, arresting 32 criminal suspects, with 20 of them criminally detained. After interrogation, the fraud gang disguised themselves by creating a "beautiful and wealthy" dating script, extensively boasting about virtual currency investment gains, and then inducing victims to invest on their fabricated platform. The scammers used carefully crafted "scripts" to show care and concern to victims, gradually building rapport, and then dramatically showcasing their "investment" returns. Once victims were enticed, suspects would send fake investment websites, guiding victims to purchase virtual currencies and invest on the fraudulent platform. The returns were entirely controlled by the scammers, but "withdrawals" were impossible to complete. Currently, the case is being further investigated.
