According to CoinMeta, as reported by "Hong Kong 01," the Hong Kong police received a report from a 60-year-old woman on October 3rd. The victim had previously met someone online who claimed to be an "investment expert" and was subsequently induced to invest in cryptocurrencies through a fraudulent investment website. Later, the platform requested the victim to pay a "security deposit" on the grounds that her investment account was not being used for money laundering. From April 14th to September 22nd, the victim made multiple transfers to the designated investment account, suffering a total loss of approximately HK$21.5 million (about $2.74 million). After realizing she might have been scammed, she reported the case to the police. The police have initially classified the case as "obtaining property by deception" and it is being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Team of Sau Mau Ping Police District. As of now, no one has been arrested.
