Blockchain Scam-The Trap Behind The Opportunity
Published on December 17, 2024 11:05AM EDT By Nancy Miller

Turning to the "routine" of false or defrauding in the area of blockchain, Mr. Hui pointed out one of the patterns: the whole design and the good "to promote money" of the story. The user is then promoted in a variety of ways to attract users and to induce their spread. When the mass user unknowingly becomes the "lamb" to be killed, the swindler starts to close the network. At that time, the personal information is collected and sold, the platform circle money run will become the user's nightmare, and the cheat person makes the pot full. The "Most users are prey, and swindlers are the ultimate beneficiaries." Yan Huaizhi said.

Some projects under the guise of blockchain are extremely difficult to distinguish. "some listed companies have little to do with blockchain business, but they may hype the concept of blockchain by claiming to work with companies with blockchain business. This kind of cooperation is not substantive, ordinary investors do not understand the block chain, it is easy to be blinded, and thus suffer economic losses. " Luo Mei, director of the Tsinghua Center for Management of Digital Financial assets, said. Luo Mei said that under the circumstances of difficult financing and revenue, individual small and medium-sized enterprises will also rub the heat of the block chain to obtain financing, but the blockchain does not have a practical application scenario in its business, which leads to the waste of social resources.

On November 10, the media reported that Ms. Wang of Zhuhai, under the guidance of the "a teacher" of direct sowing of a financial management, has paid nearly $1.4 million for the financial management of the blockchain of the investment area. After that, she found that the web site of the investment platform could not be opened, and the direct seeding room was shut down.

In Du Hongchao's view, there are three types of false or fraudulent items related to blockchain in the market. A fund tray that has nothing to do with blockchain technology. These platforms make use of the mentality that people don't know about the blockchain but want to make money, disguised as stir-frying the virtual currency, but it has nothing to do with the virtual currency and the blockchain. The other is also an air coin, which is characterized by the counterfeiting of celebrity endorsements in the name of the blockchain, without the actual application value. The third is the counterfeit currency, which is to be done according to the specifications of the blockchain, but the technical content is not enough and the false component is more, and the foreground is suspicious.

"The establishment of a unified and standardized technical standard is a problem to be solved urgently in the development of block chain. The relevant departments shall publish the standards as soon as possible and provide the basis for supervision." Zhao Lei emphasized that in the face of the block chain, it is less noisy and impetuous, and a little more rational thinking.

Why is a false or fraud project in the name of a block chain? "One of the reasons is that many ordinary investors have a lot of money, but it's not enough to know the block chain, so it's easy to get caught." Luo Mei is in the process of preparing a block-chain course on the line of the Mooc platform in the Tsinghua University, which provides the basic knowledge of the block chain for people. "Before investing in the block chain project, the average person is very important in learning area block chain related knowledge and in-depth understanding of the management team." Du Hongchao also said that the common people would like to find good financial means, but the block chain is a high-tech and involves complex logic, and the common people lack relevant knowledge and are thirsty for the expected income Look, I'll give the crooks a chance to take a ride. The block-chain-based digital currency has previously had a rich return, a value-added history, and the introduction of capital into the field. The added block chain is a new concept, and the new technology, which is more attractive to capital, also has a bad idea. "It is also important to properly guide public opinion, to promote new concepts and new technologies," said Pu Songtao, director of the software research at Sidi, a think-tank. "In addition, the government's supervision of the block chain, as well as the certification and evaluation of third-party service institutions, is also important." In the face of the current regional block chain project, the Rector, the China Communications Industry Association block chain special committee The vice-chairman said: "We should start the legislative process as soon as possible, gradually integrate the relevant projects into the legal track, and realize the chain management by means of scientific and technological means. Of course, the guidance of the application should be strengthened. To create a suitable development environment for the good project, the powerful team will speed up the technological innovation and application of the block chain, and eliminate the water-containing projects through the overflow effect, so that the swindlers are not in a place." The block chain can only be used in the specific scene to benefit the social interest or the public interest, "said Zhao Lei, a researcher at the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences." The block chain technology is the right way to understand accurately. "

Since late October, blockchain has become the focus of attention, causing a lot of attention and discussion. Blockchain has begun to take root in many vertical industries, such as finance, food, public welfare and so on, which brings "trust mechanism" to the development of many industries. But at the same time, there are people in this emerging field fishing in troubled waters, in the name of blockchains, either mystical or deceiving people of money.

There is another way to manage blockchain finance. Interesting step claims to advocate and stimulate people's movement through the "blockchain movement" model. It sounds beautiful, but it's been on sale lately. "the company and the project are suspected of online pyramid selling, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, and an investigation has been opened in the operating area of Changsha Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce." on September 25, the official website of Changsha Municipal Government, "Public mailbox," replied to netizens. According to reports, before the fun step APP is removed from the shelves, users need to provide the platform with ID number, bank card account, WeChat account and pay 1 yuan for authentication before they can proceed to the next step. User accessibility Walk thousands of steps a day in exchange for candy, which can be used to buy goods or withdraw cash. However, users only rely on the number of steps to earn a limited amount of candy, if you want to increase revenue, you need to buy candy, or "pull the head." The more new people are recommended, the more candy they earn. "the threshold for candy withdrawal is very high, it is difficult to get it out, and there is too much personal information." Du Hongchao, director of China Network blockchain Research Institute of China Network Line holding Co., Ltd., said, "the interesting step platform is not simply changing the number of steps for money, but many of the methods in the middle are in doubt." Interesting users do not "pull the head" or buy candy, it is difficult to improve activity, it is difficult to increase revenue. "this is one. "The kind of sweet temptation is very similar to that of the pyramid," said Yan Huaizhi, director of the Computer Network Security and Countermeasure Research Institute of Beijing University of Technology.
