On October 21, 2024, Megabit issued a solemn statement to remind users and investors to be careful to identify and beware of being deceived.
The criminals have various fraudulent methods.

2. Analyze fraudulent means and gain insight into the schemes and tricks of criminals
1. Phishing SMS: The beginning of deception
Phishing SMS is one of the common methods used by criminals. These SMS messages are usually disguised as official notifications or important information to attract users attention. The content of the SMS may claim that there is an abnormality in the users account and that they need to click on a link to verify; or inform users that there are major investment opportunities and invite them to click on a link to learn more. Once users click on these links, they will be directed to fake websites. The interfaces of these websites are often very similar to the regular Megabit platform, making it difficult for users to distinguish. On the fake website, users may be asked to enter sensitive information such as personal information, account passwords, etc. Once this information is obtained by criminals, it will cause huge losses to users.
2. Impersonating customer service to form a group privately: Exploitation of trust
Criminals impersonate customer service staff of the Megabit platform and contact users through various channels. They may send private messages to users on social media, or contact users by phone, text message, etc., claiming to provide users with better services or investment advice. Once users believe their identities, criminals will invite users to join private chat groups. In these groups, criminals will play the roles of investors, experts, etc. with other accomplices, and publish false trading information and investment advice. They will create a false prosperity and make users mistakenly believe that they have found a reliable investment channel. At the same time, criminals will also use the atmosphere in the group to psychologically hint and pressure users to induce them to invest.
3. Inducing orders: the temptation of benefits
Inducing orders is a key link in the fraud of criminals. In the chat group, criminals will claim that they have a professional investment team and rich experience, and can provide users with accurate investment advice. They will publish some false transaction records and profit screenshots to let users see high returns, thereby stimulating users desire to invest. Then, criminals will guide users to invest on fake trading platforms, promising users that they can get high returns. After users invest, criminals may give some small returns in the early stage, making users mistakenly believe that the investment is successful. However, when users increase their investment, criminals will suddenly disappear, or refuse users withdrawal requests for various reasons, causing users to suffer huge losses.
3. Investors’ Dilemma and Countermeasures

For the majority of investors, the fraudulent activities of criminals bring huge risks and difficulties. First, investors may lose a lot of money because of believing in fraudulent information.
