“Hello, this is the Public Security Bureau of XX City. We need to understand your previous virtual currency trading situation……”
As soon as the call was connected, I heard this, and even if I've been trading cryptocurrencies for a long time, I would probably be taken aback! But don't panic; the more anxious you are, the easier it is to say the wrong thing. Following these three steps will help you cooperate with the investigation while minimizing trouble.
First Point: Make it clear that our transactions are not illegal
If the police ask whether the transaction is legal, you can confidently tell them:
"Buying and selling virtual currencies between individuals is not illegal, but if the source of the money is questionable, then you have to take responsibility for its use."
The key is to let the police know that you are just an ordinary trader, and all operations are conducted on legitimate platforms (or with individuals), not engaged in illegal activities.
Second Point: If asked to refund, don’t get flustered
If the police say that the money you received might have issues and ask you to refund it, you must remain calm and communicate well. You can say:
"I will cooperate with you to clarify the situation; whatever needs to be done, let's do it."
Then, proactively present your transaction records and transfer screenshots as evidence. The more you cooperate, the faster the problem will be resolved, and it will be less likely to implicate your other bank cards. If you resist, it could turn a minor issue into a major one.
Third Point: Handle according to the situation; cooperation is key
There is a crucial distinction here:
· If you are deemed to have directly participated in illegal activities, all your accounts may be frozen.
· But if it's just a normal transaction and you accidentally received problematic money, usually only the card you received the money on will be frozen.
The most important thing to remember is: cooperate with the investigation well, and it won't leave a criminal record for you. But if you refuse to cooperate, the situation may change, and the handling measures will escalate.
A few more words:
Trading cryptocurrencies is not like buying groceries; every transfer may hide risks. Therefore, it is essential to do the "Three Checks":
· Check if the other party is reliable (preferably verified)
· Check if the funds are clean
· Check if the wallet address is secure
In the crypto world, being stable is always more important than making quick money. Protect your wallet and make sure you don’t get caught in a scam vortex!
