Hong Kong police have arrested a 67-year-old woman who posed as a prospective tenant to swindle two property owners out of HK$4.3 million (US$510,008) in a virtual currency investment scam. She then persuaded them to join a supposed high-return investment scheme. To draw the victims in further, she gave them free mobile phones preloaded with a cryptocurrency investment app. Although the app itself was legitimate, police said it had been preset with fraudulent links that secretly handed control of the victims’ e-wallets to the scam syndicate. Once the victims deposited funds, the money was siphoned away.
