歹徒會利用FB、IG、YT、Google及Threads等各種管道，以股市名人、財經專家等人名義投放假投資廣告；或在交友網站、App以假交友方式稱有代言操作平台可獲取代言費，藉以外約見面或其他特殊服務等來吸引被害人。
當被害者上鉤後，歹徒會介紹其他「客服、老師、助理」同夥加 #LINE 聯繫或加入LINE投資群組，並提供假投資網站或App給被害人註冊、下載安裝及操作，LINE群組內每日晚上固定時間均有自稱投顧老師進行股市分析教學，平時不斷也有其他假學員(同夥樁腳)參與獲利貼文並相互吹捧。
初期帳面顯示獲利（實際是歹徒於後臺控制），引誘您加碼投入大筆資金，有時可出金微薄獲利，但 #出金款項其實是其他被害人匯款的，可能會導致您銀行帳戶被警示。
當被害人要提領獲利時，以各種理由拖延（需繳保證金、IP異常、洗碼量不足等）或是直接凍結帳號、失去聯繫，就是 #不出金。
Scammers use various platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, and Threads to post fake investment ads under the names of stock market celebrities or financial experts. They may also use dating websites or apps to pretend to be friends and claim to have endorsement deals with trading platforms that pay endorsement fees, luring victims with promises of offline meetings or other special services.
Once a victim takes the bait, the scammers introduce other accomplices posing as “customer service reps, teachers, or assistants” who add the victim on LINE or invite them to join LINE investment groups. They provide fake investment websites or apps for the victim to register, download, install, and operate. Every evening, a supposed investment advisor conducts stock market analysis and teaching sessions in the LINE group, while fake participants (accomplices) regularly post about profits and praise each other.
At first, the victim’s account shows profits (which are actually controlled by the scammers behind the scenes) to entice them to invest larger sums. Sometimes small withdrawals of profits are allowed, but the funds actually come from other victims’ deposits, which may cause your bank account to be flagged.
When victims try to withdraw their earnings, scammers delay with various excuses (such as requiring a security deposit, abnormal IP address, insufficient trading volume, etc.) or directly freeze the account and cut off contact. This is the #NoWithdrawal scam.
