[Police Reveal New Scam Tactic: Gold Liquidation Combined with Cryptocurrency Circulation Forms a Money Laundering Loop] According to Deep Tide TechFlow on February 4, citing the Chang'an Jian public account of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, police have issued a warning about a new scam emerging during the peak gold consumption period near the end of the year. This scam involves a combination of 'offline cash withdrawal + online fraud.' Victims purchase gold at jewelry stores and mail it to a designated location. Scammers then dispatch disguised 'runners' to collect the packages from couriers. Multiple 'runners' relay the gold, with the final one taking it to a recycling shop to sell for cash, which is then delivered to a location specified by the scammers. In some cases, scammers instruct the 'runners' to exchange the gold for cryptocurrency through dealers. The cryptocurrency is then deposited into designated accounts and circulated globally using blockchain technology. Once successful, the scammers achieve their goal of defrauding victims of gold and laundering money.
