Today, I'll share a practical lesson – what to do if you suddenly receive a call from law enforcement asking about your cryptocurrency transactions?

Two days ago, a friend encountered this incident: in the afternoon, he received a call from a public security bureau claiming to be a certain place, and he came up to ask about the situation of virtual currency transactions. To be honest, who is not nervous when they receive such a call? But the more times like this, the less you can panic, and improper handling may really cause trouble.

Here are two core coping principles, which are recommended to be collected:

**Response on the Legality of the Transaction**

The purchase and sale of virtual currency between individuals is not illegal in itself if the operation is compliant. If asked this question, you can say, "I understand that person-to-person cryptocurrency transactions are allowed within the scope of compliance, but I cannot be 100% sure if there is a problem with the source of funds on the other side. If illegal funds are really involved, I am willing to fully cooperate with the investigation."

This answer not only shows that you understand the basic laws and regulations, but also shows a cooperative attitude, neither humble nor arrogant.

**Handling of Refund Requests**

If the other party says that the funds you received may be involved in the case, ask you to return them - don't say yes or refuse on the spot. The correct approach is: "I will fully cooperate in investigating the situation, here are my complete transaction records and transfer vouchers, you can check them."

Taking the initiative to provide all the evidence can not only prove your innocence, but also make things come to light faster. Remember, cooperating with an investigation does not equate to an unconditional transfer.

As cryptocurrency trading becomes more prevalent, similar situations may not be unique. It never hurts to know more about how to deal with it, and if you really encounter it, you at least know how to protect yourself. Have you ever had a similar experience?
