PANews reported on December 11 that according to Sinopec’s official account, Mr. Qiu, a truck driver in Suzhou, Jiangsu, saw someone post an advertisement on a short video platform that sold gas cards at a low price: “A gas card with a face value of 1,000 yuan only costs 880 yuan.” The other party said that the transaction must be made with the virtual currency USDT (Tether). After following the instructions, the USDT coin was transferred to the “trading platform” and then transferred to the other party’s digital account. After the first transaction was successful, Mr. Qiu thought he had picked up a bargain. So he transferred a total of more than 70,000 yuan in digital currency to the other party several times. When he planned to continue buying, he found that the digital currency in his account had disappeared and his WeChat account had been blocked. Sinopec reminds people not to buy gas cards from informal channels for cheap prices, be wary of gas card discounts with large discounts, and remind consumers not to be fooled.
