Statement from China Business Journal: Fraudsters impersonating and sending Bitcoin extortion emails, reminding enterprises not to make payments

China Business Journal issued a statement saying: 'Recently, our company discovered that fraudsters have been impersonating "China Business Journal" and sending emails to certain enterprises through non-official company email accounts. They falsely claim to have obtained major negative information about the enterprises through so-called "undercover investigations" and threaten that if payment (Bitcoin) is not made, the related "undercover investigation articles" will be published.' China Business Journal emphasized that all its news reports strictly comply with national laws and regulations, and interviews and communications are conducted through official channels. Such actions are suspected of criminal fraud. The company is closely monitoring the situation, collecting evidence, and reserves all rights to pursue legal action. The statement urges relevant enterprises to remain vigilant. If they receive such impersonated emails, they should not make any payments, immediately preserve all evidence, and report the matter to local public security authorities.
