Recently, there have been some concerning offline trading traps in the virtual money market that all participants should be highly vigilant about. According to industry insiders' analysis, these traps mainly involve two situations: selling and purchasing virtual money offline.

In the case of selling Virtual Money offline, if the seller transfers the Virtual Money but the buyer refuses to acknowledge it, the seller may face legal difficulties. Even in regions like Hong Kong, law enforcement is unlikely to handle such cases. More seriously, if the seller attempts to forcibly reclaim the funds, it may be regarded as an act of robbery.

In contrast, cases of being defrauded of cash when purchasing virtual money offline usually attract the attention and handling of law enforcement agencies. However, there is also an important exception: if the buyer and seller sign an agreement for the purchase of virtual money but do not clearly specify the contract address and corresponding value, the seller may exploit this loophole by transferring some worthless tokens to the buyer, making it difficult for the buyer to seek legal protection in such cases.

To avoid falling into these traps, it is recommended that all parties involved in Virtual Money trading should:
1. Try to avoid offline transactions and prioritize reputable online trading platforms.
2. If offline transactions are necessary, be sure to clearly specify the type of Virtual Money, quantity, contract address, and corresponding fiat currency value in the agreement.
3. Be wary of suspicious trading proposals, especially those that require the use of non-mainstream or unknown Virtual Money.
4. When making large transactions, consider seeking professional legal advice.

With the continuous development of the Virtual Money market, the relevant laws and regulations are also gradually improving. However, in this process, participants' self-protection awareness remains crucial. Staying vigilant and understanding potential risks is essential for safely engaging in trading in this market full of opportunities and challenges.
