Hong Kong Monetary Authority: Fraudulent websites with fake official websites appear in the market to induce the public to trade cryptocurrencies, and have been reported to the police

The HKMA has issued a warning that fraudsters have impersonated the official website of the HKMA to induce the public to a website with the HKMA logo to conduct central bank digital currency or cryptocurrency transactions, and even claimed that if account holders need to withdraw funds from their accounts, they must first pay relevant taxes. The HKMA solemnly declares that the counterfeit website has no relationship with the HKMA, and will never actively contact the public about any personal financial matters, nor will it require any form of transfer, payment or account verification operations. It is necessary to be vigilant. If you receive any unfamiliar website links, do not click at will. For unconfirmed information, especially information involving financial investments and other content, it is necessary to remain calm and verify it first, and do not transfer money directly. At present, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has reported the incident to the Hong Kong police.
