香港一名60岁妇人在投资顾问的诱导下，先后在虚假网站投资加密货币并被索取"清白费"，从今年3月至9月累计被骗超过港币2147万元。1 其中投资阶段约转账1900万元，之后又被冒充执法部门的诈骗者以"洗黑钱"名义索取约120万元。1
类似手法已多次出现，今年第一季度一名67岁外籍商人曾被同类骗局骗取8479万元。1 更严重的案例包括，2024年一名70岁女商人在2年内累计被骗2.58亿元，2021年一名90岁富婆被骗2.5亿元。1
A 60-year-old Hong Kong resident fell victim to an elaborate telecommunications fraud scheme that netted scammers over HK$21.47 million between March and September of this year.1 The woman was initially lured into investing in cryptocurrency through a fraudulent website by someone posing as an investment advisor.1 After accumulating approximately HK$19 million in purported investments, she was subsequently contacted by individuals impersonating law enforcement officials, who demanded an additional HK$1.2 million in "clearance fees" under the pretext of investigating money laundering allegations.1
This case exemplifies the rising tide of telecommunications fraud in Hong Kong, which has become one of the territory's most prevalent criminal activities in recent years.1 The scam mirrors a similar incident earlier this year in which a 67-year-old foreign businessman lost HK$84.79 million through comparable methods.1 Historical cases reveal an escalating pattern: a 70-year-old female businesswoman was defrauded of HK$258 million over two years in 2024, and a 90-year-old wealthy widow lost HK$250 million in 2021.1
