[Hong Kong SFC: Beware of Scams Impersonating the Investor Compensation Fund] Odaily Planet Daily News – The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued a notice urging the public to remain highly vigilant against scams that misuse the name of the Investor Compensation Fund. These scams often cause victims to suffer secondary losses. Fraudsters contact individuals who have previously incurred investment losses, falsely claiming that the victims are eligible to recover their losses through the compensation fund. They then demand an additional 'deposit' or 'handling fee' to arrange for the fund to provide 'compensation.' Many victims have fallen prey to secondary scams as a result.
