AiCoin|2月 04, 2026 11:40
Recently, there have been frequent cases of criminals using offline transactions for fraud. The platform reminds users to be vigilant, avoid private transactions, and beware of being deceived. The following is an analysis of common fraud tactics:
Fake digital asset trading
Routine: Scammers use social media platforms, groups, and other channels to post false information such as "selling USDT at a low price" or "buying digital assets at a high price", inducing users to engage in offline transactions.
Common techniques:
Refusing to make payment or release currency during the transaction process;
Transferring false currency to users (such as forging transfer records or airdropping counterfeit tokens);
Further defrauding funds under the names of "margin" and "unfreezing fee".
Virtual Commodity Trading Scam
Trick: Scammers use low prices to sell virtual goods such as fuel cards and phone cards as bait, demanding that users use digital assets for payment.
Common techniques:
Obtaining trust through small-scale transactions in the early stage;
Inducing users to engage in large transactions and refusing to ship, or even directly blacklisting them.
How to prevent it
Refuse private transactions: All transactions must be completed through official platforms to avoid being separated from platform supervision.
Verify the identity of the other party: Be wary of phrases such as "low price discounts" and "high returns", and do not trust strangers easily.
Be cautious of small transactions: If a large transfer is suddenly requested after a small transaction in the early stage, the transaction will be terminated immediately.
【 Warm Reminder 】
Users are not encouraged to engage in private transactions outside the platform, as private transactions do not comply with the platform's prescribed transaction procedures. In case of fraud, the platform will not be able to assist in handling it.
Any request for private transfer or request for account information is considered fraud! The platform will not request sensitive information such as passwords and verification codes from users in any form.
