Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and local law enforcement have jointly issued a public warning against an entity masquerading as crypto exchange MEXC Global. The scammers are reportedly pretending to be a legitimate virtual asset trading platform (VATP) and luring unsuspecting victims into participating in what appears to be a crypto investment scam. The list of blocked web domains included in the alert shows the scammers are using links with addresses that start with “mexc” and end in random alphabets akin to phishing links.
