[Police Reveal New Scam Chain: Victims Asked to Buy Gold, Mail It, and Use Cryptocurrency for Cross-Border Money Laundering] Foresight News reports, according to the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Chang'an Jian public account, police have issued a warning about a new type of scam emerging during the peak season for gold consumption near the end of the year. This scam combines 'offline cash withdrawal + online fraud.' Victims are instructed to purchase gold at jewelry stores and mail it to a designated location. The scammers then dispatch disguised 'couriers' to retrieve the packages from delivery personnel. Multiple couriers relay the package, with the final courier taking the gold to a recycling shop to sell it for cash, which is then delivered to the scammers' designated location. Some scammers also instruct couriers to exchange the gold for cryptocurrency through coin dealers, deposit it into specified accounts, and use blockchain technology to enable the global circulation and usage of the cryptocurrency. Once successful, the scammers achieve their goal of stealing gold and laundering money. Police remind the public that legitimate investment and financial management will never require mailing gold. Any request to purchase gold for offline transfer under the pretext of 'account upgrades' or 'fund verification and unfreezing' is a scam.
