bitcoin trading scam:
1. At the end of October 2013, Hong Kong GBL platform absconded with money, with more than 20 million yuan missing. The program of this trading website is very poor. It doesn't use SSL security protocol, and even the user name is stored in clear text. They don't have some basic programming knowledge. GBL relies on the broker to develop the new customer's "quasi MLM" mode
On October 22, 2013, looking at the market of bitcoin, Mr. Qiao, a citizen of Dongyang, searched GBL company, a bitcoin trading platform, on the Internet, and recharged 90000 yuan to buy and sell bitcoin through a third-party payment. On October 26, 2013, it was found that the staff of the online trading platform were not online, and some normal trading proceres could not be implemented. It was found that the registered address of the company was false after a check, and a total of 90000 yuan was cheated3 and Western economists have a lot of worries about the current economic bubble phenomenon of bitcoin.
