TechFlow reports, according to The Washington Post, a financial manager in Hong Kong lost over HK$17 million (US$2,173,500) investing in gold and cryptocurrency through a fake trading platform, after being lured by HK$2.6 million in fraudulent "profits."
"The funds were designed to deceive the victim into believing it was a legitimate trading platform and served as bait to entice her into conducting further transactions and investing more money," said sources familiar with the matter.
Police stated, "Between May last year and February this year, the victim was tricked into transferring HK$12.5 million into 29 bank accounts in Hong Kong for 45 investment transactions."
