Recently, the Shanghai headquarters of the People's Bank of China issued a reminder titled "Preventing Illegal Fundraising Propaganda Month | Saying 'No' to Illegal Financial Activities Related to Virtual Currency Trading Speculation". The risk warning points out that in recent years, some unscrupulous individuals have engaged in illegal financial activities under the guise of "NFT", "digital collectibles", and "metaverse", posing risks such as speculation, money laundering, and illegal token issuance.
The article published several related risk cases, including "Beware of using new terms such as NFT to disguise traditional scams", "After digital collectibles are speculated to sky-high prices, no one takes over and even loses everything", "Using fake websites and links to invade user wallets and steal assets", "Digital platforms running away, public accounts being blocked, and no way to seek help", "Private transactions where money is given but no 'goods' are received". The article provides prevention suggestions: 1. Establish the correct concept of consumer investment. 2. Do not participate in NFT-related token issuance and speculative trading activities.
