PANews reported on November 2nd that the People's Court of Lechang City, Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, concluded a case of fraud involving foreigners. After gaining the trust of the victims, the criminals guided them to invest in virtual currency on a fake platform, thereby defrauding them of their money. An investigation revealed that one foreign victim was defrauded of RMB 4,619.9. The Lechang Court sentenced the criminals to prison terms ranging from six to eight months and imposed fines. The judge reminded the public that the claim of "only defrauding foreigners" is not a legal exemption; overseas is not a lawless zone, and one should not believe the fallacy that "defrauding foreigners is not illegal."
