"Establishing a Digital RMB Bank and Recruiting Digital RMB Promoters" is a rumor

Recently, information such as "Shanghai is about to establish a digital RMB bank" and "recruiting digital RMB promoters" has appeared on multiple Internet platforms. The reporter checked with the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People's Bank of China and found that the above information is all rumors. The reporter's investigation found that criminals spread false news on the Internet that "a digital RMB bank is about to be listed". At the same time, under the banner of "paid recruitment and promotion", they set up chat groups and organized offline and online meetings to falsely publicize the public, induce the public to provide personal identity and asset information, develop others to join, and use "2% to 5% subsidy for digital RMB exchange" as a gimmick to trick the public into "exchanging" digital RMB from criminals, causing bad social impact. Digital RMB is a legal tender in the form of digital currency, which has no room for speculation. It will not induce users to disclose personal sensitive information and participate in pyramid schemes by advocating high commissions or high returns for speculation. Digital RMB consumption red envelopes are generally collected through financial service entities such as commercial banks, as well as major government affairs platforms, major e-commerce platforms with business qualifications, and offline stores.
