Hong Kong police cracked a HK$360 million cryptocurrency fraud
🔍 Case overview
On October 15, the Hong Kong police successfully smashed a local fraud group and arrested 27 suspects. The group is suspected of using online romance to lure many local and overseas victims into investing in cryptocurrencies in the past year, with the amount of fraud reaching HK$360 million.
🚨 Fraudulent methods
The fraud group used high confidentiality to commit crimes, and the unit had tight security outside. They mainly induced victims to trade through cryptocurrencies to avoid involving bank accounts, thereby increasing the difficulty for the police to track down the proceeds of crime.
🔍 Police Action
Superintendent Yao Yongqin of the New Territories South Regional Criminal Headquarters said that the operation was assisted by the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Investigation Bureau, who collected evidence on online and cryptocurrency transactions. Through careful investigation, the police successfully smashed the fraud group.
💪 Police Reminder
For such fraud cases, the police remind the general public to remain vigilant and not to easily believe in false information such as online love to avoid being deceived. At the same time, we must strengthen our understanding of new financial products such as cryptocurrency and improve our risk prevention awareness.
