“炒币群”“挖矿群”再度活跃 警惕披区块链“马甲”的诈骗

　　“区块链应用场景落地，XX币躺着也能赚大钱”“矿机一响，黄金万两”……早在2017年，国内虚拟货币交易和相关交易所就被监管叫停，但记者发现，随着近期国家明确提出对区块链技术的支持，一些不法分子趁机浑水摸鱼。

In 2017, domestic virtual currency transactions and related exchanges were shut down, but journalists found that, with recent explicit State support for block chain technology, some outlaws had taken advantage of the blow to fish.

　　记者调查发现，近期，网络上的“炒币群”“挖矿群”在沉寂两年后重新活跃起来，一些不法分子打着区块链旗号推广宣传虚拟货币、资金盘，将区块链技术等同于虚拟货币，甚至出现“防范代币发行融资风险政策已过时”等言论，有的用“链”“挖矿”“IMO”“STO”等花样翻新的名目，披着区块链的“马甲”开展非法金融活动。

The journalist's survey found that in the recent past, the “discovery” of the “silver” on the Internet has been revived after two years of silence, with some outlaws promoting virtual currency, money plates under the banner of the block chain, equating block chain technology with virtual currency, and even with statements such as “the outdated policy to protect against the risk of financing the issuance of token currency”, some of the names of the “chain” “mining” “IMO” “STO” — carrying out illegal financial activities in the guise of the “macar” of the block chain.

　　在一些三四线城市，有各种传销组织打着区块链的旗号大肆行骗。他们伪装成区块链科技公司，以所谓区块链投资专家的名义到处开免费培训班，拉人头煽动公众抓住所谓的投资机会。行骗手法和保健品传销如出一辙，多数群众尤其是老年人对区块链和监管政策了解不深，很容易掉入陷阱。

In some four-line cities, there are distribution organizations that cheat under the banner of block chains. They pretend to be block chain technology companies, offering free training courses in the name of so-called block chain investment experts, and pulling heads to incite the public to seize so-called investment opportunities.

　　目前，上海、北京、广东等多地金融监管部门相继出台措施，对虚拟货币交易场所进行摸排整治。事实上，早在2017年9月4日，央行等七部委发布《关于防范代币发行融资风险的公告》，叫停虚拟货币的直接交易，对虚拟货币交易场所进行清理整顿。此后，国内的虚拟货币大型交易所转入地下运作，将经营主体或服务器迁至境外。严厉监管下，虚拟货币交易暂时低迷。

In fact, as early as September 4, 2017, seven ministries, including the Central Bank, issued a circular on the prevention of the risk of financing the issuance of currency in currencies, calling for the suspension of direct transactions in virtual currency and the clean-up of virtual money trading sites. Since then, the country’s large virtual currency exchanges have moved underground, moving their operators or servers abroad.

　　国家互联网金融安全技术专家委员会区块链研究室主任毛洪亮告诉记者，近期传销、资金盘等不法活动利用区块链概念和发行虚拟货币进行包装，本身与区块链技术无关，涉及资金多，危害严重。

The Director of the Block Chain Research Unit of the National Technical Expert Committee on Internet Financial Security told journalists that recent illegal activities, such as distribution, funds cut-off etc., used the block chain concept and the issuance of virtual currency for packaging, which in itself had nothing to do with block chain technology, involved large amounts of money and posed serious risks.

　　记者调查发现，不少诈骗活动以区块链技术包装迷惑投资者，例如，以区块链挖矿、兑币为名诈骗，打着区块链游戏的名义诈骗，以区块链名义发行“空气币”“传销币”。“很多项目本身与区块链无关，只是利用区块链概念从事传销、资金盘等不法活动。”毛洪亮表示。

A journalist's investigation found that a number of frauds, in the name of block-chain technology packaging, confuse investors, such as mining, currency-exchange fraud, fraud in the name of block-chain games, and issuing “air currency” in the name of block-chains as “money-distribution currency”. “Many of the projects themselves have nothing to do with block-chains, but merely use the block-chain concept to carry out illegal activities such as distribution, money-plate, etc.”.

　　近期，上海监管部门特别提醒广大投资者注意，不要将区块链技术和虚拟货币混同，虚拟货币发行融资与交易存在多重风险，包括虚假资产风险、经营失败风险、投资炒作风险等，投资者应增强防范意识，谨防上当受骗。 据新华社

In recent times, Shanghai regulators have been particularly alerting investors not to mix block-chain technology with virtual currency, to the multiplicity of risks associated with virtual currency issuance finance and transactions, including false asset risk, risk of business failure, risk of investment speculation, etc., and to the need for investors to be more vigilant and to be wary of fraud.
