【Hong Kong Police: In the first nine months of this year, there were 3,468 reported investment fraud cases with losses of approximately HKD 2.2 billion, with 35% involving virtual assets】According to Jinsuo Finance, the Hong Kong police announced online investment fraud case numbers and trends yesterday. In the first nine months of this year, there were 3,468 cases reported, resulting in total losses of approximately HKD 2.2 billion. Although this represents a decrease compared to the same period last year, the number of cases in October this year surged by 24% compared to September, indicating a rebound trend. Nearly 40% of the cases involved financial investment products, with 35% involving virtual assets. The largest single loss in virtual asset fraud cases was approximately HKD 78.47 million, with the victim being a female executive of a virtual currency company, who was lured by the fraudster to initiate a video call to discuss investment details, resulting in the theft of her electronic wallet account password and the subsequent transfer of a large sum of money. As investment in virtual assets becomes increasingly popular, the police remind investors to stay vigilant to avoid falling victim to scams.
