According to the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, Hong Kong police received nearly 100 investment fraud cases in the past week, with total losses exceeding 90 million Hong Kong dollars. Among them, an 84-year-old male businessman met someone claiming to be a data company CEO through WeChat and was lured into investing in virtual currency, transferring nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars in 14 installments; another 43-year-old female clerk met an "investment expert" on Telegram and invested in Hong Kong stock index futures on a fake platform, transferring over 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars in 17 installments over two weeks, losing all her savings and incurring an additional debt of 1 million Hong Kong dollars. Hong Kong police remind people to be wary of "low-risk, high-return" investment scams on social platforms.
