Hong Kong SFC Warns Investors

香港证监会向投资者发出警告

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

香港监管机构表示，负责虚假 MEXC 交易所的实体涉嫌欺骗潜在投资者并吸走资金。

“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 涉嫌以提供免费投资建议为借口，引诱受害者加入社交媒体或即时消息聊天组。在这些聊天组中，有兴趣购买加密货币的受害者被转至 MEXC 运营的网站。随后，受害者被要求将资金存入指定的银行账户用于投资目的，但此后，他们报告称提取资金遇到困难。”
