I recently came across a rather heartbreaking case. An investor started in mid-September and was guided by scammers to invest in a so-called virtual currency project, making a total of 8 transfers. Initially, the platform showed a profit of 7.9 million yuan, which was quite tempting. But when they tried to withdraw, the other party suddenly demanded a 250,000 yuan "exchange rate difference"—a classic scam tactic. After paying, the platform disappeared immediately. In the end, the victim was actually defrauded of 1.18 million yuan.

This case is very representative. Fake profit screenshots, setting withdrawal thresholds before running away—each step is carefully designed. When investing in virtual currencies, always use reputable and official platforms, don’t be fooled by small gains.

Once again, the same old trick, a book profit of 7.9 million just made people dizzy. Greed is insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. The moment the exchange rate difference appeared, I should have known I was trapped. 118,000 gone, this lesson is ridiculously expensive... There are only a few reliable platforms; if you insist on picking up leaks on small platforms, you'll only end up picking up leaks. Really, if they ask for money before withdrawal, it's a red flag. Don't hesitate for a second. It's always the same process: fake screenshots, setting thresholds, disappearing... scammers just copy and paste. I just can't understand why some people still throw money into these shady platforms. Be alert, everyone. There's no such thing as a free lunch from the sky.

7.9 million on paper profit, but zero actual profit. I've seen this trick too many times, haha. 118,000? How greedy do you have to be to get scammed like this? Putting money in before withdrawal? Wake up, everyone. This red flag is so obvious it's turning black. Don't trust the "daily returns" from small platforms and small coins. 99% of them are scams.

Oh my god, 7.9 million turned into a scam. I've seen this trick too many times. --- It's the same old routine again, the screenshots are expertly edited. --- Exchange rate difference? Ha, they didn't even put much thought into that name. --- 118,000? You must trust this platform a lot to keep transferring money over and over. --- Basically, it's greed. If it weren't for envy of that 790, would you fall for it? --- There are really only a few legitimate platforms; I don't trust the others. --- Causing trouble before withdrawal? Just report it directly. Why pay money? --- Every time I see cases like this, I want to curse. It's really hard to guard against. --- Virtual currencies are already risky enough, and yet some still want to play dirty. --- Eight transfers and you still haven't figured it out?

7.9 million in book profits... This operational approach is indeed a textbook-level rug pull design. From a mempool perspective, the entire process is like a carefully orchestrated sandwich attack—false data at the front, withdrawal threshold in the middle, and finally a direct run. Quite interesting.
