[Scammers Chat for Over a Month to Set Up Virtual Currency 'Mining' Scam, Over 30 People Defrauded of More Than 3 Million Yuan] According to Qilu Evening News, a new type of virtual currency scam involving 'staking mining' has recently emerged. Scammers use social platforms to build a perfect persona through long-term interactions, chatting with victims for one to two months to establish trust. They then guide victims to switch to private overseas communication apps like WhatsApp and Discord, luring them into downloading fake mining platforms and signing contracts to grant authorization. Exploiting the asset transfer permissions in these contracts, the scammers quietly siphon funds from victims' accounts in the background. Throughout the process, scammers avoid mentioning sensitive terms like 'investment' or 'financial management,' instead packaging the scam as 'idle computing power staking mining,' claiming it to be zero-risk with stable returns. They further entice victims to increase their investments by offering small rebates. Currently, most victims are young people seeking side income opportunities. Known losses have exceeded 3 million yuan, with the highest individual loss surpassing 300,000 yuan. Victims are spread across various regions nationwide.
