“Insiders” “only make money but not lose money”… When someone tells you that gold has been booming recently, the price of gold has been rising, and “speculating in gold futures” can exploit “backstage loopholes” and obtain high returns, will you be moved? Recently, Ms. Shi, a citizen of Lizhou Street, encountered the trap of “speculation in gold” and learned a profound lesson.
If she could go back in time, Ms. Shi would definitely not trust the stranger who came to her door. Not long ago, Ms. Shi posted rental information online and left her contact information. Then someone added Ms. Shi on QQ and said she wanted to rent a house. The “tenant” asked about the rental fees and payment methods, and everything seemed to be normal. However, when Ms. Shi wanted to proactively lower the rent to facilitate the deal, the “tenant” perversely refused.
“Is there really someone who has an advantage and doesn’t want to take advantage of it?” Ms. Shi was suspicious. To prevent being deceived, she asked the tenant for a deposit of 500 yuan, but she didn’t expect the tenant to call immediately.
The other party’s cheerful attitude made Ms. Shi put down her guard, but after that, the tenant kept using various reasons to avoid going through the rental procedures. For this matter, Ms. Shi had to contact the “tenant” from time to time. Over time, the two parties gradually became familiar with each other.
Ms. Shi learned from the chat that the other party worked at “a certain gold exchange”. Recently, the price of gold has risen, and many people have approached him to buy gold for investment, so he has never had time to go through the rental procedures. In order to reassure Ms. Shi, the “tenant” also proposed to rent it directly for one year and let the company arrange payment. Then the content of their chat gradually changed from “renting a house” to “golden transaction”.
Ms. Shi and the other party agreed to sign a rental contract three days later, but when the agreed date came, the other party refused to meet again on the grounds that “backend data fluctuations” had to be returned to the company for processing, and asked Ms. Shi to “help”. Ms. Shi downloaded and logged into a “certain gold trading” platform in accordance with the other party’s instructions, and “purchased gold” at the designated time as required by the other party. Ms. Shi logged in the next day and found that the price she bought yesterday had increased.
In the next few days, Ms. Shi continued to help the other party perform “gold transactions”. Watching the amount in the “account” continue to increase, Ms. Shi was very excited and asked about the “trading skills” inside. The “tenant” claims that he is an “insider” who can retrieve “backend database information” and exploits “platform loopholes” to make a steady profit. Ms. Shi proposed to “make money” together. After getting the other party’s consent, she joined the “gold speculation” team and continued to increase investment under the guidance of the other party. Finally, she found that the funds in the platform account could not be withdrawn. From the “tenant” From “insiders” to “financial gurus”, they are all “role playing” in a scam! After realizing she had been deceived, Ms. Shi reported the incident to the police.
The police reminded that gold investment and trading is a relatively unfamiliar field for ordinary people, and they need to be cautious when “entering the market”. Citizens should increase their awareness of prevention. Any investment that mentions “insider information” or “guaranteed capital and guaranteed profit” is a scam. They should treat gold price changes rationally and do not blindly pursue high returns. Investment and financial management need to be carried out in formal trading venues. Before investing, check the official website of the relevant regulatory authorities or consult professionals. On social platforms, you should be careful when adding strangers as friends to avoid leaking personal information, and be even more vigilant when it comes to financial transactions.
