Recently, I came across a rather heartbreaking case. A female friend was guided by an online user to invest in virtual currencies, transferring money in 8 batches to a designated account starting from mid-September. The account showed seemingly good returns, directly displaying a profit of 7.9 million. Excited to withdraw? The platform suddenly said she needed to pay 250,000 in exchange rate differences first. As soon as the money was transferred, she could no longer contact anyone. Eventually, the police intervened and confirmed that the principal amount scammed was 1.18 million. This kind of scam is actually quite common—virtual currency platforms showing high returns, blocking withdrawals, and layered charges. The most reliable approach when encountering such situations is to immediately report to the police and stop further investments.

I'm truly impressed; I can recite this routine backward and forward. A book profit of 7.9 million, it’s obviously an illusion. --- It's the same old trick again—first make promises, then cut the leeks. Sister, wake up. --- Losing 1.18 million is one thing, but having to add 250,000 yourself—how desperate must that be? --- I just want to ask, when will people learn? Hundreds of these schemes are exposed every year. --- Withdrawing stuck and additional charges—what kind of scam is this? The tricks are upgrading so fast. --- There’s proof with pictures; account screenshots are all fake. How can people still believe such simple logic? --- Only after the police intervene and confirm the scam do people realize? By then, the money has already flown away, friends.

Damn, it's the same old trick again. After all these years, the digital asset ecosystem is still playing this crappy game.

7.9 million instantly becomes 0, this is the usual operation in the crypto world... My friend also experienced it, truly desperate.

1.18 million gone, it hurts just to look at it. Who hasn't seen this kind of trick before? It's the kind of scary-looking numbers on paper, but only when it comes to withdrawing money do you realize how foolish you are.

1.18 million gone, this is the price of greed --- It's the same old trick, when will I learn my lesson --- Book value of 7.9 million suddenly turns into a scam, it's outrageous --- Withdrawing just traps you, this is the most familiar script in Web3 --- This kind of platform is obviously a scam, why do people still fall for it --- A 250,000 exchange rate difference? That's outright robbery, no doubt --- Reporting to the police is too late, the money has already flown away --- Virtual currency investment is really a deep water, be careful --- Transferring in 8 batches, that takes a lot of patience --- The moment there are layered charges, you should have run --- 790 million turns to 0, haha, too typical of scam patterns --- Why wait until withdrawal to realize? Where is the regulation --- Aren't these cases rare? It's just that no one listens to advice --- One word, scam --- Reporting to the police directly is the right move, don't expect to get your money back

This is textbook-level scam behavior. Technically, it looks like a head and shoulders top... with a book value of 7.9 million but withdrawal blocked, a classic warning sign. Losing 1.18 million before realizing? What kind of emotional indicator is so out of control that it still continues to buy the dip in 8 separate transactions?
