هل أصبحت العملات الرقمية أداة للاحتيال في عمليات التسوية؟ الشرطة تكشف عن سلسلة الاحتيال "بطاقة التذوق" على الشبكة السوداء

【Chain News】 Recently there’s something important to pay attention to — police departments in Shanghai, Yunnan, Gansu, Hainan and other regions have all issued warnings about a batch of fraudsters operating under the guise of well-known supermarkets offering “free benefits.”

How do they commit their crimes? Simply put, they have clear divisions of labor: some people are responsible for street-level promotions of “free trial cards,” and these individuals contact the fraud gang through overseas communication software. After distributing each card, they take photos and upload them — residential complex addresses, door numbers, even false promotional flyers pasted on door handles, everything is recorded and archived.

The most critical part is that the fraud gang leaders periodically settle fees with these runners using virtual currency. This method is indeed ruthless — using digital asset transfers to conceal identity and transaction records is much more covert than traditional transfers.

Police specifically remind: don’t participate in this kind of “street promotion side gig” just to make quick money. You might think you’re just handing out flyers, but in reality you’re helping fraudsters precisely acquire victim information. This is not only illegal, but you’ll also face legal consequences. Once involved, virtual currency transfer records and the like can all become evidence in the chain of evidence. It’s not worth it.
