Investment Scams:
- Scammers would use dating apps or advertise on social media platforms, impersonating celebrities and offering investment advices, or they may look for victims by sending unsolicited text messages;
- They would pose as professionals, or establish relationships with the victims under the guise of “online romance”;
- After gaining trust from the victims, they would claim to have “insider news” on investment packages with “guaranteed profits”, and they would provide links to fraudulent investment websites, or request the victims to download fraudulent third-party investment apps;
- At first, the victims may be able to receive small profits and successfully withdraw funds, but once they increase their investment amount, the platforms or apps would refuse their withdrawals under various pretexts;
- Subsequently, the victims will be continuously pressured or enticed into making further payments, and they will realize that they have been deceived and the funds can no longer be withdrawn.
