Hangzhou Students Become Victims of Crypto Scams in Online Game

A group of criminals is exploiting online games, specifically ‘Egg Party,’ targeting primary school students in Hangzhou with a sophisticated scam designed to steal their cryptocurrency. The scheme uses deception as the lure to trick young gamers into transferring large sums of money. Once the funds are transferred, they’re quickly converted to cryptocurrencies and laundered away, rendering recovery nearly impossible. This horrifying case highlights the growing vulnerability of children and the critical need for enhanced education regarding digital safety and fraud prevention.
