1. Initial Contact: Establishing Trust
In the initial phase, they often pose as successful individuals on social platforms and proactively add friends. Then, they gain trust through the following conversations:
"Hello, I saw your social media posts and think we have a lot in common. Can we talk?"
"I'm into investing, and I've been researching some promising projects lately, you might be interested."
2. Sharing "Money-Making" Opportunities: Guiding Bets
After establishing initial trust, they start guiding the victim to participate in so-called "high-return" investments or gambling activities:
"I've been making extra money with my phone recently, easily earning a few thousand more a month."
"The winning frequency of high-frequency lottery is especially high, it's a sure win, you should try it too."
"I found a loophole in an investment platform, seizing the opportunity can make you money."
3. Inducing Deposits: Increasing Investment
Once they show interest or have made small bets, further induce them to increase their investment:
"Just follow me and play, I guarantee you'll make money."
"Borrow some money to add up, making a big profit and then it's all settled."
"Please consider our and our parents' future, such an opportunity to make money should not be missed."
4. Creating a Profitable Atmosphere
Profit screenshots or arranging small withdrawals:
"Look, I made another 5000 yesterday, it's really simple."
"Withdrawals are fast, right? Keep it up, let's make money together."
5. Emotional Blackmail: Applying Pressure
When hesitating or wanting to quit, they use emotional pressure:
"Don't you trust me? I truly have your best interests at heart."
"Let's keep working hard together, don't give up halfway."
