Many cryptocurrency investors end up losing money during the withdrawal process after making profits. Today, let's talk about those seemingly convenient but actually dangerous withdrawal channels.
**Most Common Fake Card Scams**
There are often claims online about certain banks' international cards, claiming to be issued directly via VISA or MasterCard. In reality, this is a big trap. VISA and MasterCard are essentially settlement channels, similar to UnionPay in China, and do not issue cards directly. The so-called "lazy card packages" sold online are mostly handled by small banks or shell companies. They use the credentials of overseas small banks to apply for cards, and running away is only a matter of time. Even more malicious, some institutions directly use others' passport information to apply for cards. Once something goes wrong, the legal risk falls on the user. Hidden annual fees and exorbitant service charges are standard. Genuine international card issuance requires you to personally visit the bank with a visa; there is no such thing as online or courier issuance.
**The Deep Tricks of Buying U at Different Prices**
Seeing someone offering to buy U at a 20% discount? Don’t be fooled. Black market gangs often use discounted prices as bait. Even if you give a 50% discount, if the money you receive is from black sources, it will still be frozen. Conversely, there are also tricks where some channels quote prices higher than the market rate. This situation is 100% money laundering. They attract investors eager to cash out with high premiums, and the underlying motive is not hard to guess. Normal market prices have a reasonable range; if the deviation is too large, there’s definitely something fishy.
**Cash Transactions Are Deadly Traps**
Many think cash is the safest, but this is a deadly misconception. The shady transactions in movies are often conducted with cash. In reality, cash is a classic scenario for money laundering. Once involved, sources become untraceable, and legality cannot be proven, plunging you into underground banks or illegal cross-border fund flows in no time. What seems like a safe choice is often the most dangerous.

Quick to earn, quick to withdraw, and even faster to get frozen—that's the daily life in the crypto world.

I've already said that these "lazy person cards" are all backed by wash trading gangs. Based on on-chain data tracking, the flow of funds is clear.

Damn, it's the same old story. I almost got scammed by a lazy person card, but luckily I reacted quickly.

Cash transactions are truly the worst. Ironically, the safer option is actually the most dangerous.
---
A 20% discount to accept U? Dream on, there's no such good deal in the world.
---
International card direct delivery? Laughing out loud, all the online hype is just false.
---
Once you've been frozen once, you'll understand. Don't touch these shady methods to withdraw funds.
---
Wow, no wonder so many people get wrecked. Turns out there are so many tricks.
---
Lazy person card packs are ridiculous. Do you really think banks will deliver your packages?
---
Accepting U above market price? That's blatant money laundering, even fools can see through it.
---
No wonder that guy's account was frozen overnight. Turns out he was involved in cash transactions.

Really, I've seen too many people give up at this step, losing profits and still facing legal risks.

Once again, I got scammed. My friend is the one who transferred the car this way, and now he's still dealing with the mess of frozen cards.

Really, I only know a buddy who wanted that 20% discount, and he lost everything. He's still crying in the group now.

Making a profit makes you want to run; withdrawing funds is the biggest pitfall, really.

Wow, this wave of arbitrage buying U with the pattern, RSI has already broken the upper limit, it will definitely reverse. Don't be greedy for that 20% discount. You'll only realize what "gravitational acceleration" really means after you throw in.

Making money but getting scammed instead, this is outrageous. I've seen several friends who were devastated after being tricked by fake cards.
