A finance manager from Hong Kong fell victim to a sophisticated crypto scam, losing over HK$17 million (~$2.1 million.) A sham trading platform lured her with a bait of HK$2.6 million (~ $332,400) in “profits” from gold and crypto investments. This case is a stark reminder of the increasing sophistication of online investment frauds that prey on unsuspecting individuals with alluring profits. Initially, the 57-year-old victim received a message on Instagram from someone claiming to be a former business partner from Singapore. Subsequently, their conversation shifted to the messaging app Line. There, the scammer persuaded her to open an account on a fraudulent trading site.
