The Chinese Embassy in France reminds to be vigilant against criminals using virtual currency and other bait to attract investments for fraud

ChainCatcher news, according to the official account of the Chinese Embassy in France, the Chinese Embassy in France has issued a reminder: With the arrival of the "back-to-school season," there has been a new wave of telecom network fraud in France recently. Common fraud methods used by criminals include posing as so-called "mentors" or "experts" to attract investments through bait such as investment, financial management, lotteries, and virtual currencies. Criminals are generally located in foreign countries or distant places, and once the fraud is successful, it is difficult to recover the funds.

The Chinese embassy and consulates in France remind Chinese citizens in France, especially international students, to be aware of common telecom network fraud methods, not to click on unknown links, not to download unknown apps, to pay attention to protecting personal information, and to choose legal channels for currency exchange.
