Since September 2025, the individual fell victim to a 'cryptocurrency investment expert' scam three times. After losing HK$1.4 million in the first instance, the victim paid another 'expert' HK$600,000 as a guarantee fee in an attempt to recover the losses. Subsequently, the victim was induced to purchase HK$4.6 million worth of cryptocurrency and transfer it to a designated account. The scammers disappeared after receiving the funds, resulting in a total loss of HK$6.6 million within six months. The victim eventually reported the case to the police for assistance. Authorities remind the public not to trust promises of 'guaranteed returns' or so-called 'loss recovery' services to avoid falling into a chain of scams. (Hong Kong Wen Wei Po)
