The attitude of black platforms is fickle, and they will go from being obedient to scammers, to being businesslike, and then to being indifferent and disconnected; When dealing with victims who apply for gold, some gangs may repeatedly pass the buck and disappear, but more ruthless black platforms actually borrow the concept of "sunk costs", attempting to make victims lead by the nose due to their reluctance to invest and profit, causing them to lose more funds.
Whenever the editor of Aihui Cha sees a victim who has already discovered something wrong with the platform but continues to transfer funds due to unwillingness to sink costs, he is both angry and furious. Today, in this article, the editor summarized several excuses for black platforms to continue increasing investment instead of giving money, hoping that in the future, victims will not be "harmed twice".
Excuse 1: Pay taxes first when paying taxes
Tax payment "is a common reason for black platforms to commit secondary fraud against a victim. When the victim applies for payment, they do not refuse, but customer service will tell the victim to pay taxes first to complete the payment.
This rhetoric has caught many traders' attention: novice traders believe it is an industry rule, and some experienced traders, although aware that this is abnormal, still choose to believe in black platforms because they are unwilling to sacrifice their previous principal and profits.
Aihui Cha's previous articles, "120000 trapped in Zhonghui International, constantly trapped on the way out of gold," and "380000 out of gold and 40000 in tax exposed, changing domain name and scamming again this year," are all such black platforms. Please refer to the following figure for the excuse script:
Excuse 2: Pay the deposit first when making a deposit
Note: This margin is not the margin mentioned in foreign exchange transactions! The reasons why black platforms request a "deposit" include but are not limited to: incorrect bank card number input caused the account to be frozen, and a deposit needs to be paid to unfreeze it; The credit score of the trading account is insufficient, and a margin needs to be paid to make up for it; The account has security risks and requires payment of the account balance ××% As a security deposit
You need to pay a deposit before you can make a deposit, and when others look at it, they will feel that the platform is flawed. But the victims also had a lucky mentality due to concerns about sunk costs, and ultimately chose to compromise with black platforms amidst entanglement, resulting in increased losses for themselves.
Excuse 3: Participating in lottery activities
When the victim wants to apply for a deposit, the black platform uses the excuse of participating in the deposit and gift giving to demand that the victim continue to increase the deposit. On the one hand, they refuse to allow victims to contribute money on the grounds that the amount invested is insufficient; On the other hand, there is also a gift to reach the amount ×××× The US dollar serves as bait, making the victim's heart beat. In order to achieve the goal of allowing the victim to re-enter the fund.
The above excuses are not necessarily used independently. As long as the victim chooses one of them, the next excuse will continue to relay in order to achieve their goal of defrauding more funds. If you encounter such black platforms, be sure not to fall into their trap again. Collecting evidence and reporting directly to the police is the only way to recover funds.
