According to Red Star News, law enforcement authorities in Linyi City, Shandong Province recently dismantled a telecom fraud syndicate targeting minors. On-site, police seized approximately RMB 140,000 in illicit proceeds and 20,000 units of virtual currency. Preliminary investigations confirmed that the gang has carried out over 200 fraud cases nationwide, involving a substantial amount of money. Police revealed that the criminals lured minors with the promise of “free game skins and equipment,”诱导 them to use their parents’ mobile phones and remotely control victims’ devices via screen-sharing to carry out fraudulent transfers. The illicit funds were subsequently laundered in batches through top-ups for phone credit, electricity bills, and property management fees. Upstream telecom fraud platforms settled payments using virtual currency, while suspects retained approximately 20% of the fraud proceeds as commission. It is reported that the ringleader previously traveled to a fraud-related industrial park in Myanmar and possesses strong anti-investigation experience. The case remains under further investigation.

Market analyst Ali posted on X, stating that Bitcoin is currently showing signs of “overheating.” Data shows that traders’ average realized profit margin has risen to 17%, indicating that a large number of investors are now sitting on substantial profits, thereby increasing the potential pressure to take profits.

This historical signal has now re-emerged, warranting heightened market vigilance.

The Public Security Ministry’s Criminal Investigation Bureau published an article titled “Beware of Online Fraud Targeting Minors” on its official WeChat account, exposing a new type of online fraud characterized by “gaming-based traffic diversion + impersonation of public security, procuratorial, and judicial organs + virtual currency money laundering.” Fraudsters lure minors into adding them as friends via advertisements posted on gaming and social media platforms, then use intimidation and other tactics to obtain funds from the minors’ parents’ accounts. The illicit proceeds are split and withdrawn through black-market and gray-market platforms before being used to purchase virtual currencies. These virtual currencies face no geographical restrictions and can silently flow back to overseas fraud dens, achieving “physical isolation” for cross-border fund transfers. The Public Security Ministry’s Criminal Investigation Bureau warns: Public security, procuratorial, and judicial organs never conduct investigations online, never threaten to deduct funds, and never request passwords or verification codes.
