The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the regional police have issued a warning against a fraudulent entity that is posing as a fake version of the centralized crypto exchange MEXC, which was founded in 2018. 

香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會（證監會）和地區警方對冒充成立於 2018 年的中心化加密貨幣交易所 MEXC 的假冒版本的詐欺實體發出警告。

正如 TheCoinRise 早些時候報導的那樣，最近向 memecoin 狗狗幣 (DOGE) 的投資者發出了警告。某些詐欺項目正在利用受犬類啟發的加密貨幣的品牌和聲譽來欺騙毫無戒心的投資者放棄他們的資金。

Additionally, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also issued a warning against illicit players in the NFT and crypto ecosystems that seek to scam investors.

Hong Kong SFC Warns Investors

香港證監會向投資人發出警告

The Hong Kong regulator stated that the entity responsible for the fake MEXC exchange is allegedly deceiving potential investors and siphoning funds.

香港監管機構表示，負責虛假 MEXC 交易所的實體涉嫌欺騙潛在投資者並吸走資金。

“MEXC is suspected to have enticed victims to join social media or instant messaging chat groups on the pretense of offering free investment advice. On these chat groups, victims interested in buying cryptocurrencies were referred to websites operated by MEXC. Victims were then asked to deposit funds into designated bank accounts for investment purposes, but after that, they reported difficulties with fund withdrawal,” read the warning.

「MEXC 涉嫌以提供免費投資建議為藉口，引誘受害者加入社群媒體或即時通訊聊天群組。在這些聊天群組中，有興趣購買加密貨幣的受害者被轉移到 MEXC 經營的網站。隨後，受害者被要求將資金存入指定的銀行帳戶用於投資目的，但此後，他們報告稱提取資金遇到困難。”

Monitoring Illicit Activities in the Crypto Sector

香港證監會指出，目前正在與地區警方合作，監控和調查參與非法活動的虛擬資產交易提供者（VATP）。

The regulator has warned that the entity is manipulating investors and tricking them into depositing funds into its bank account for supposed investments. However, when the customers try to withdraw the funds, they are faced with difficulties and eventually lose their funds. 

監管機構警告稱，該實體正在操縱投資者，並誘騙他們將資金存入其銀行帳戶以進行所謂的投資。然而，當客戶試圖提取資金時，他們卻面臨困難，最終損失了資金。

香港監管機構已確認八個網站參與了這項非法計劃，投資者正在損失辛苦賺來的錢。這些網站的網域包含“MEXC”，例如“mexczx.icu”和“mexczx.co”。

Notably, Hong Kong is now open to applications from traditional financial firms looking to create spot crypto ETFs.
