Odaily Planet Daily reports that a netizen has reported their family members fell victim to a scam involving a fake “Hong Kong Stock Exchange” official website. After depositing money, they initially successfully withdrew four times, each time one hundred yuan. Subsequently, the system prompted that taxes needed to be paid before continuing withdrawals. If taxes are not paid on time, the account will be frozen. They have now chosen to report to the police. After verification, The Paper found that the webpage is currently inaccessible. In response to such impersonation scams, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has issued a warning. Currently, over 400 suspicious websites have been reported by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but a fake webpage called “Hong Kong Stablecoin Exchange (HSEX)” is still accessible. Its design closely resembles that of legitimate trading platforms, displaying cryptocurrency and virtual currency price fluctuations, and features functions such as deposit and withdrawal.
