Scammed through Dongwang: A 60-year-old woman from Hong Kong reported to the police, saying that after meeting someone online who claimed to be an “investment expert,” she was taken to a fake cryptocurrency investment website. The platform then continued to demand money, saying it was for “deposit proof” to show that the account had not been used to launder money.
From April 14 to September 22, she made transfers totaling about HK$21.5 million. She reported the case on October 3. The police classified it as “obtaining property by deception.” The officers from the Sau Mau Ping District follow up, and no one has been arrested yet.
A fake expert, a fake platform, and another “deposit to prove innocence”—the old playbook, and the numbers look pretty brutal.
