The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the police warned the public today to beware of suspected fraudulent activities involving an entity that claims to be a virtual asset trading platform. The entity operates under the name "MEXC". MEXC is suspected of using the guise of providing free investment advice to lure victims into joining social media or instant messaging chat groups. In these chat groups, victims interested in purchasing cryptocurrencies are recommended to the website operated by MEXC. Victims are asked to deposit funds into a designated bank account for investment purposes, but later encounter difficulties in withdrawing funds. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission listed MEXC and its website on the list of suspicious virtual asset trading platforms on February 9, 2024.
