00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:30There is another announcement.
00:32Another retired woman was tricked into investing in cryptocurrency.
00:36She gave away $2 million to a fraud company.
00:41$2 million is a huge amount of money.
00:43How did she get tricked?
00:45Here is the story.
00:46This 61-year-old woman was on TikTok last November.
00:50She happened to see an ad for cryptocurrency.
00:53After clicking it, she joined a WhatsApp group.
00:56She followed the instructions of the investor in the group.
00:59She transferred $2 million to 15 designated bank accounts 30 times.
01:05Many people are familiar with the following routine.
01:08When this retired woman found out that she wanted to withdraw money,
01:12she was stopped by frauds.
01:15She had to pay various fees.
01:17At this time, the woman realized that she was tricked and called the police.
01:21The incident of this retired woman is definitely not a coincidence.
01:24On the same day, the director of the 5th Anman Investigation Bureau, Nan Li, also revealed
01:29that a 74-year-old victim also thought that investing in a cryptocurrency could get $400,000 in return.
01:38As a result, she invested in three or four cryptocurrencies in a row and was tricked into several tens of millions of dollars.
01:44Nan Li said that the cryptocurrency investment fraud has become a new method of fraud.
01:49Both the elderly and professionals are deeply harmed.
01:53Nan Li said that the reason why these people easily fall into these investment scams
01:57is because they are full of high-returns promised by scammers.
02:01So she reminded the elderly over the age of 60
02:05not to listen to the high-returns and invest in cryptocurrencies desperately,
02:09or even use your savings or borrow money to invest.
02:12Otherwise, in the end, you may fall into the water.
02:17Nan Li also reminded everyone that
02:19the phone fraud has become the second most common commercial crime in China.
02:24Nan Li also helped everyone understand a common sense.
02:26And she said that she has said it many times.
02:29That is, the police, the Internal Tax Administration, and the National Bank
02:33will not actively contact the public over the phone.
02:37Nor will they help you transfer to various departments.
02:40For example, the bank will transfer to the police, the express company will transfer to the national airline,
02:44and then transfer to the police station, etc.
02:46These are all common sense.
02:48Nan Li said that when you receive such a scam call,
02:51you don't need to be afraid at all,
02:53and don't easily believe it, just hang up the phone.
