Trusting the promise of a high-price account sale, an 18-year-old student from Daye, Hubei, fell step by step into an elaborate online trap. The teenager, nicknamed Xiao Yuan, had just graduated from high school and recently become deeply hooked on a mobile game. After months of upgrading his character, his account had become more and more powerful, attracting attention from other players. On the evening of August 9, around 10 p.m., while enjoying the game, Xiao Yuan received an unexpected message from a stranger inside the app. Discussions later shared on Jeetbuzz Login forums revealed how such scams are becoming increasingly common among young gamers.
The stranger praised the strength of Xiao Yuan’s game character and claimed he wanted to buy the account at a high price. After some bargaining through QQ chat, the supposed buyer directed Xiao Yuan to a so-called game trading website, citing safety and transaction security. He was asked to register and fill in personal information. Once Xiao Yuan complied, the stranger told him that money had already been transferred to his bank account, but due to a “frozen status” displayed on the site, he needed to pay to unlock it. A QR code was sent, and Xiao Yuan was told to transfer 800 yuan as a “freezing fee” to unseal his account, with the promise that this money would be fully refunded later. Believing the words, he transferred the money via WeChat QR payment.
Not long after, the stranger insisted that the system encountered another issue and that Xiao Yuan would need to pay double the previous amount, this time 1600 yuan, to fix it quickly before the time limit expired. Although Xiao Yuan started to suspect something was off, he still clung to hope that the deal might succeed and sent the money. Later, he was told that the account had been successfully unfrozen but that he now needed to provide his bank card number and password to process the refund. Feeling he was close to finishing the deal, Xiao Yuan let his guard down and sent the sensitive information. Within minutes, 2800 yuan vanished from his account. The stranger immediately blocked him on QQ, leaving no trace of contact except vague memories of their chat and QR code transfers.
When Xiao Yuan realized he had been scammed, he rushed to the local police station to file a report. He admitted his regret, telling officers that he could not recover the QQ number or any full chat records. The WeChat transactions also gave him no clue about the scammer’s true identity. Like many cases highlighted on Jeetbuzz Login discussion boards, his story serves as a painful reminder of how fast fraud can strip away both money and trust.
Authorities have now launched a deeper investigation into the case. Police also issued a clear warning to gamers everywhere: always conduct transactions through official platforms or trusted marketplaces, never through unfamiliar websites. Players should be cautious when strangers initiate contact online, carefully check identities, and stop immediately if something feels suspicious. In the digital world, not everything is as it seems, and as the saying goes, “if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.” For players and community members who regularly use Jeetbuzz Login platforms, the case is another strong reminder to stay vigilant, protect personal information, and act quickly by reporting scams to the police.
