[Hong Kong Police Unveil 'AI Quantitative Guaranteed Profit' Cryptocurrency Scam, Victim Loses HK$7.7 Million]
According to Hong Kong media outlet HK01, the Hong Kong police have 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 scammer posed as an 'investment expert' and approached the victim via Telegram, claiming that 'quantitative trading' and 'AI algorithms' could achieve stable high returns. The victim transferred a total of 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 requests were denied.
The Hong Kong police have issued a reminder that while cryptocurrencies have high potential returns, they also come with high volatility and high risks. Claims of 'AI trading' and 'guaranteed profits through quantitative methods' 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.
