According to Eastweek, a Hong Kong insurance agent in her 50s was introduced to a man claiming to be in the car trading business. They developed an online romantic relationship, during which she was persuaded to invest in cryptocurrency through a fake platform. Over six months, the victim handed over more than HK$4 million in cash and transferred nearly HK$22 million to multiple dummy accounts. In June, the platform showed her account had over 800% returns, but when she tried to withdraw, her request was denied. The man and the so-called 'investment expert' then disappeared, leaving her with a total loss of over HK$26 million. Between July 24 and 30, Hong Kong authorities received 25 reports of romance-related investment scams, with total losses nearing HK$70 million. https://(wublock123.com)/news/hong-kong-woman-lost-hk2600m-crypto-scam-65721
