[Hong Kong Police Uncover 'AI Quantitative Sure-Win' Cryptocurrency Scam, Victim Loses HK$7.7 Million]
Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on April 19, according to Hong Kong 01, the Hong Kong police disclosed a cryptocurrency scam that used 'AI quantitative trading' as a lure to induce investments. A woman was defrauded of approximately HK$7.7 million. The scammers posed as 'investment experts' and approached the victim via Telegram, claiming that 'quantitative trading' and 'AI algorithms' could achieve stable high returns. The victim transferred approximately HK$7.7 million worth of USDT and ETH from her digital wallet to designated addresses in 17 separate transactions. She realized she had been scammed only when her withdrawal attempts were denied.
The Hong Kong police warned that while cryptocurrencies have high potential returns, they also come with high volatility and risk. Claims of 'AI trading' and 'quantitative sure-win' are often bait for scams. The public should be wary of the 'impossible triangle' trap of high returns, low risk, and low barriers to entry.
