Abstract:Hong Kong's SFC warns of KKR Global, a fake firm on its suspicious trade platform list, tricking investors in crypto schemes. Verify before investing.
Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) added “KKR Global” to its list of “suspicious virtual asset trade platforms.” There are accusations that this group is claiming to be an authorized SFC-licensed company called KKR Capital Markets Asia Limited and engaging in dishonest virtual asset deals.
KKR Global has encountered criticism for advertising its Hong Kong headquarters and tricking people into investing in cryptocurrency schemes. Investors claimed that people attempting to solicit them for investments in offers for digital assets used instant messaging apps. When these individuals attempted to withdraw their money from the platform, they had unexpected problems. They were allegedly required to “check their wallets” and obligated to pay substantial costs.
While these questionable websites have been gone, the SFC remains vigilant that new, fraudulent sites may arise. The government is alerting the public to exercise caution and, before making any financial commitments, to confirm the legality of any investment firm or virtual asset trading platform they have thoughts of utilizing.
A continual reminder of the dangers people confront is the SFC's warning about internet investment fraud. These fraudulent activities could impact a wide range of assets, and criminals may utilize various communication methods, like message services and social media, to carry them out. People should use extreme caution and vigilance to avoid falling victim to any of these forms of fraud.
