Fraud case display

Case 1

In the first case, the fraudster claimed to be the "CEO" and instructed the user to take the money to a charging address claiming to be a trading platform. Subsequently, the fraudster asked the user to use the mobile phone number as a password to log in to the fraudulent investment website to confirm the money just charged as a deposit. After the confirmation is completed, the fraudster instructs the user to exit the account.

After logging into the user's account, the fraudster conducted a series of unknown operations and tried to persuade the user to charge more funds, but the user refused. Then, the fraudster instructed the user to withdraw money. As a result, the user filled in the wrong address and mistakenly withdrew the money to the TRC20 chain instead of the designated ERC20 chain. The fraudster immediately said that he needed to cooperate with a team to "get money" and claimed that it would cost "NT$ 1.8 million" to get money. When users say they can't pay, fraudsters keep persuading them and suggest that users borrow money from family and friends. Finally, users began to notice that something was wrong, and decided to check the relevant websites online and contact the platform customer service for verification.

Case 2

In the second case, the user provided a chat record, indicating that he was suspected of being cheated. The fraudster also appeared as the "CEO", claiming that he would teach users how to operate the OKX exchange. The fraudster instructs the user to find the wallet address of the exchange and asks the user to buy USDT in the physical store.

While sending fraudulent websites, fraudsters remind users that they need to keep secrets temporarily on the grounds of a platform to prevent cyber hackers from attacking. The fraudster said that the user can register directly without downloading the application, but asked the user to provide the account number and password of the trading platform as instructed. After logging into the user's account, the fraudster performed a series of operations, and then instructed the user to withdraw money. In the operation, the user accidentally withdrew the money to TRC20 chain instead of ERC20 chain designated by the CEO. The fraudster then said that he needed to cooperate with a team to "make money", claiming that the process was very troublesome and that the miners' fees needed to be raised. This series of suspicious behaviors finally aroused the vigilance of users and made them suspect that they were cheated.

Summary of fraud techniques

1. Pretending to be an executive: fraudsters usually pretend to be higher vocational personnel to gain the trust of users as an authority.

2. False platform charging operation: instruct users to charge digital currency into a false trading platform address, claiming that this is a deposit or a trading demand.

3. Require account password: The fraudster requires the user to log in with the mobile phone number as the password, and requires the account number and password of the trading platform to facilitate their subsequent operations.

4. Misleading the withdrawal link: intentionally instructing users to withdraw money to the wrong link (such as TRC20 instead of ERC20), creating a "withdrawal failure" situation and increasing the difficulty of fraudulent operation.

5. Pretending to fish for coins: claiming that it needs high fees to fish for coins under the pretext of cash withdrawal error, and constantly urging users to pay extra fees or borrow money.

6. Keep pressuring for loans: When users say that they can't pay, fraudsters will keep pressuring them, suggesting that users borrow money from family and friends to induce users to get into further trouble.

7. Use fear manipulation: Make up complicated and urgent operations (such as raising miners' fees) to create anxiety and further urge users to operate in a hurry.

8. Require confidentiality: Require users to keep secrets temporarily for reasons such as "preventing cyber hacker attacks" to prevent users from getting outside help in the fraud process.

Anti-fraud strategy & skill

1. Be vigilant and don't trust your identity: Don't trust your self-proclaimed identity as a high-level or professional, especially a stranger contacted through unofficial channels.

2. Do not disclose personal information and passwords easily: The passwords, account numbers and other information of any trading platform are sensitive information, so do not provide them at the request of others.

3. Confirm the authenticity of the platform: Before any trading operation, verify the authenticity of the platform through formal channels (such as official website or official customer service) and avoid logging in through unfamiliar links or websites.

4. Avoid wrong link transfer: carefully check the link (such as ERC20 or TRC20) at present to ensure correct operation and avoid asset loss due to negligence.

5. Be cautious about the high "rescue expenses": If you encounter the requirements of so-called "fishing money" and other high expenses, you must be vigilant and seek professional advice, and do not pay at will.

6. Multi-party verification of information: When you feel suspicious, check it through the official platform, customer service or professionals in time to avoid being controlled by the fraudster.

7. Refusal to borrow money: Fraudsmen often guide victims to borrow money through pressure and emotional manipulation, and should firmly refuse any form of loan or further capital investment.

8. Beware of confidentiality requirements: If the other party requires "confidentiality", it should be especially vigilant. Fraudsters use this means to prevent victims from seeking outside help, so don't isolate yourself.
