Cryptocurrency scams in Hong Kong for the first half of 2022 were reportedly up by 105% than in H1, 2021.

Cryptocurrency scams have reportedly been one of the most common cyber offenses in Hong Kong during the first half of 2022, and 25% involved digital assets.

Wrongdoers drained HK $387.9 million from Hong Kong-based digital asset firms and individuals – a significant surge compared to the $21 million stolen in H1, 2021. Shortly after, though, the wrongdoer advised Fan to transfer the accumulated profits to a dubious cryptocurrency wallet. Needless to say, she lost access to her assets while the scammer ceased communication with her.
