TechFlow news, November 22: The official WeChat account of Xinhua News Agency reposted a prior security alert issued by WeChat's Safety Center: "Recently, the WeChat platform has received user complaints about certain WeChat accounts engaging in illegal and criminal activities such as organizing传销 (pyramid schemes) and fraud within WeChat groups.
These activities falsely claim connections to national asset releases, government policies, engineering projects, blockchain virtual currencies, stablecoins, etc., using promises of high returns to lure users into joining WeChat groups. Once inside, users are encouraged to invite others into the group, click on suspicious links to download fraudulent apps, participate in daily check-ins, attend meetings or training sessions—activities designed to brainwash participants—ultimately leading to fraud. These actions seriously infringe upon users' property rights."
