The phone suddenly rang, and a local landline number popped up on the screen. After answering, the other party introduced themselves: "Hello, this is the Economic Investigation Team of the Public Security Bureau in XX District. We need to verify a few Digital Currency Trading records under your name recently." At the moment the call ended, many people already started to play out scenarios in their minds.
Let me start with the conclusion: in most cases, this is not as serious as you think.
**First, don't lose your mindset.**
The police officer on the other end of the line has actually seen a lot of cases. What they want is not for you to panic and explain for a long time, but rather a few key pieces of information: which platform are you trading on? What are the channels for your funds in and out? Have you come into contact with any unclear transfers? If you are just a normal Digital Currency Trading investor, and your exchange account transactions are clear, then just say directly: "I am just a personal investor, all operations are on compliant platforms, and I have never touched any unclear funds." The more honest you are, the easier it is for the other party to judge. On the contrary, those who are evasive are more likely to be targeted.
**Secondly, don't struggle with emotions.**
Sometimes the police may mention that a certain fund "involves case clues," or say that your bank card "has suspicious transaction risks." At this point, don't lose your temper, and don't rush to deny or claim injustice. The correct approach is: first, express your willingness to cooperate with the investigation, and then immediately start preparing materials—platform trading screenshots, transfer records, chat proofs, anything you can provide. I've seen people confront the situation on the spot because they felt wronged, only to turn what was originally a routine check into a key target for investigation. Remember this: cooperation is always easier than confrontation.
**In the end, understand that you are most likely just "being implicated".**
In reality, out of ten people being checked, nine are due to issues on the counterparty's side. It could be that the other party is involved in a fraud case or that there are money laundering suspicions in some part of the capital chain. You just happened to have had a transaction with them, so you were checked as well. In such cases, generally only the bank card or amount corresponding to the suspicious transaction will be frozen, and once it is verified, it can be unfrozen. There will be no record left, nor will it affect credit reporting. As long as it is indeed a normal transaction involving Digital Money, you basically will not be dragged into the case itself.
**A final reminder:** No matter how urgent the transfer is, do not overlook three things – who the other party is, where the money is coming from, and whether the address is safe. Making money in the coin circle is certainly important, but it is even more crucial to maintain your bottom line and avoid trouble. After all, the money earned must be securely put in your pocket to count.
