Police anti-scam platform "CyberDefender" announced on social media that recently a fraudster impersonated an investment expert, claiming to possess high-return "insider information", and sent a fake investment website link to a 54-year-old businesswoman, luring her to register as a member on the bogus site. Subsequently, another fraudster posed as customer service staff and guided her step-by-step via WhatsApp to transfer funds. The website showed rising profits and she even successfully withdrew HKD390,000. This "sweetener" completely lowered her guard. Over the next nine days, she increased her investment repeatedly. When she attempted to make another withdrawal, the website could no longer be accessed, no one responded on WhatsApp and her account had disappeared. Only then did she realize she had been scammed, with total losses exceeding HKD12 million.
