Heads up for anyone traveling or living abroad – a diplomatic mission just dropped a fresh security alert. There's been a noticeable uptick in property theft and financial scams specifically going after foreign nationals. We're talking coordinated schemes here, not just random pickpocketing.
These crimes range from sophisticated phishing operations to outright robbery targeting crypto holders and expats with digital assets. If you're managing wallets or handling cross-border transactions, stay extra vigilant. Double-check who you're dealing with, avoid flashing wealth, and keep your financial activities low-profile.
The advisory emphasizes being cautious with unsolicited investment opportunities and staying alert in public spaces. Better safe than sorry – criminals are getting craftier, especially when they know you're holding valuable assets.

This is bad, my overseas coin friends probably need to be more cautious now.
That's why I never brag about my Wallet balance in the telegram group, it's really dangerous.
Phishing is rampant, I don't even dare to casually share my Wallet Address.
That said, these scammers are getting more professional... we need to be careful.
Overseas self-defense lesson one: Don't let anyone know you're into crypto.
I remember last time a friend got phished and lost two ETH... it's a wake-up call.
When making cross-border transfers, be sure to double-check, it's no joke.
These days, going out with coins requires extreme caution, it's exhausting.

Is this another trap? Every day it’s all about scammer, scammer, I really want to know why so many people still fall for it...
The details are all in the Wallet, really afraid of what comes next.
These days, going out feels like doing espionage work, isn’t it exhausting?
Robbery has even upgraded to "organized crime", sounds ridiculous.
I mean... real experts wouldn’t expose themselves in public, right?
In the crypto world, there’s one word: distrust. People have to be like this.
Wait, is this referring to a specific country or a global notice? Details are very important.
Those who hold coins quietly have been doing this for a long time, realizing it’s a bit late now.
Sounds nice, but isn’t it just to scare people into becoming members and buying insurance...
Well, now tourism is going to be hit with cold water again.

Wow, here to fish again? This time targeting overseas workers.
These days, going out feels like being a thief, can't let the Wallet show.
To be honest, I've seen too many frens get scammed, especially those claiming to be "high-yield projects."
Low profile is the way to go, the richer ones tend to act poorer.
Coordinated? Sounds like it's not just small potatoes, needs to be taken seriously.
Transferring money abroad requires repeated confirmation, one slip-up could mean losing everything.

Another trap? Every day talking about risks, I just want to ask what else can happen... But speaking of which, the methods of those target encryption holders are indeed getting more and more sophisticated, one needs to be more alert.
