Police said they received a report last Thursday (9th) from a woman who claimed she had earlier met a man posing as an investment expert on an online platform. The man later persuaded her via an online messaging application to invest in stocks.

The victim transferred HKD100,000 to a designated bank account as instructed in November last year. She subsequently followed further instructions and, over a six-month period, handed over a total of approximately HKD26 million in cash and a gold bar worth about HKD430,000 to 14 men in 26 separate transactions. The victim later suspected she had been deceived and reported the case to the police. The case has been classified as "obtaining property by deception", and no arrests have been made so far. (da/a)
