On May 16, PANews reported that the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security published an article on its official WeChat account titled "Beware of Online Fraud Targeting Minors." The article exposed a new type of online fraud chain characterized by "game-based user acquisition + impersonation of public security, procuratorate, and court officials + virtual currency money laundering." Criminals use advertisements on games and social media platforms to lure minors into adding them as friends, then use intimidation and other means to steal funds from parents' accounts. The stolen funds are then split and withdrawn through black market platforms and used to purchase virtual currencies. These virtual currencies are not restricted by geographical location and can silently flow back to overseas fraud dens, achieving "physical isolation" of cross-border funds. The Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security reminds the public that public security, procuratorate, and court officials will never conduct cases online, will never intimidate or deduct funds, and will never ask for passwords or verification codes.
