The illegal parties first used unlawful means to steal users' Telegram accounts and defrauded them by pretending to be friends. In addition, it does not rule out the behavior of fake Gate.io Official and induces users to click on fake links to commit fraud. Please beware of account theft to avoid asset loss.

\- Do not use the QR code sent by the other party to accept verification;
