The Shanghai headquarters of the central bank issued a risk warning regarding the prevention of new types of scams such as "digital renminbi investment cashback and paid promotion."

ChainCatcher News, the Shanghai headquarters of the People's Bank of China issued a risk warning, alerting the public to guard against investment scams that misuse the central bank's name in relation to digital renminbi. The central bank emphasized that it has never released announcements such as "investing in digital renminbi for cashback" or "paid recruitment of pilot promoters," and reminded the public to be cautious of four main traps: investment transactions under the guise of digital renminbi, fake group invitations, information collection through unofficial channels, and counterfeit apps.

As a legal digital currency, the digital renminbi is exchanged 1:1 with physical renminbi, leaving no room for investment speculation. Users should download and use the digital renminbi app through official channels.
