According to reports, there have been frequent cases in the Netherlands that people have used counterfeit banknotes for bitcoin currency fraud recently.
According to the Dutch local media rtlnieuws.nl, a man was defrauded by a group of fraudsters in Amsterdam for 180,000 euros. According to the Amsterdam police, the victims have established contacts with fraudsters through online forums and hope to use the euro for bitcoin trading.
The Burgwallen police clarified the details of the case, saying that both the fraudster and the victim agreed to meet at the hotel. On the day of the transaction, they made contact at the hotel, the transaction was carried out according to the originally agreed plan, and both parties reviewed all necessary documents and then the buyer exchanged 26 bitcoins for a cost of 180,000 euros. However, the Bitcoin seller subsequently discovered that the euro used in this transaction was actually a counterfeit note, he was cheated when selling Bitcoin.
In fact, globally, bitcoin fraud cases are emerging one after another. Earlier this month, a South Korean businessman became a victim of similar scams. The Korean businessman is the owner of a Singapore cryptocurrency company, and two Serbs want to buy bitcoin from him. Both parties completed the transaction in a hotel located in France. After the transaction was completed, the victim also found that the banknotes obtained were counterfeit. You can pay more attention to bitcoin news for these case and try to avoid being defrauded.
Since cryptocurrency is still a valuable commodity, many fraudsters will carefully design a lot of scams to defraud the victims who have been shunned for their interests. Not only that, criminals will also design fake investment plans, Ponzi schemes, and so on.
These cases reveal a very controversial and worthwhile fact: when many governments have not yet recognized the Bitcoin value, its circulation value has been recognized by many criminals and underground criminal organizations. These criminals deliberately swindle bitcoin, indicating that they must have mature ways to make the bitcoin they get more profitable – even buying goods directly.
If the government does not immediately take measures to strictly supervise the digital currency and severely punish such fraudsters. Once the underground market first explores the use of cryptocurrencies and establishes a fairly large-scale consensus market, it will inevitably affect or even destroy the existing economic system, this is the failure of the civilized world.
