Police in Dongguan's Hengli town activated an early-warning interception mechanism five minutes before a victim was due to complete an offline cash handover with fraudsters, then rushed officers to a bank to stop the transaction. The intervention prevented a woman surnamed Li from handing over 1.1 million yuan in cash. Li had met a stranger online, who lured her with a purported "internal virtual currency investment channel" promising low entry thresholds and high returns. The scammer faked profit screenshots to make the investments look profitable, then used a need for an offline "USD top-up via cash exchange" as a pretext to induce Li to withdraw cash.
