Recently, the security team of a major exchange disclosed a typical false reporting case, with a scheme that is quite old-fashioned but very confusing.

Here's what happened: a user came forward claiming to have been scammed by "platform executives," and even presented a bunch of "evidence"—screenshots of chats, transfer records, all of them intact. The person's goal was clear: to profit by pressuring customer service and public opinion.

But as the investigation went deeper, the truth was revealed. The so-called scam address? It was discovered to be the举报人’s own address. The chat records? Completely fabricated, and they didn't match the real information at all. The real "bad guys" turned out to be the platform's genuine high-level accounts that were completely unaware of the false accusations.

This case actually exposes a problem: many people fabricate stories and forge evidence to frame platforms, trying to leverage public opinion to get compensation. These false reports not only waste platform resources but also confuse the public, drowning out the voices of genuine victims.

In the crypto world, transparency and authenticity are especially important. If everyone spreads rumors casually, how can the ecosystem develop healthily? So, when you see similar reports, it's best to stay rational and wait for official investigation results before drawing conclusions. Don’t be fooled by carefully crafted stories.
