A woman in Hong Kong suffered a loss of over 4 million Hong Kong dollars due to a series of scams, having over 10 years of experience in virtual asset investment.

On July 19, a local woman in Hong Kong with over 10 years of experience in investing in Virtual Money recently fell victim to a scam after failing to apply for a discount on a Virtual Money platform. She sought assistance from "customer service" on Telegram, but unfortunately fell into a scam trap twice, losing over 4 million HKD in Crypto Assets. The police remind citizens to contact customer service through official channels and to refrain from clicking on unknown links or disclosing personal account passwords and verification codes. The police pointed out that the female victim had more than 10 years of experience in Virtual Money investment. Earlier, after her attempt to apply for a discount on the Virtual Money platform failed, she tried to seek assistance from official customer service but did not receive an immediate response. Therefore, she searched for "customer service" on Telegram and proactively contacted an account that appeared to be official for help. The other party immediately falsely claimed to provide assistance and sent the victim an unknown link. The victim, not suspecting anything, clicked on the link and followed the instructions to enter her "personal information," "account number," and "transaction password." When she logged into her Virtual Money account again, she was shocked to find that part of her assets had been transferred away, realizing she had been scammed. Subsequently, the victim found another "customer service" account on Telegram, and the other party claimed they could help recover the stolen Virtual Money. The victim fell for it again and entered her personal information on a fake website provided by the other party, resulting in the remaining Virtual Money in her account also being transferred away. She was scammed consecutively, with a total loss of over 4 million HKD.
