Hong Kong police disclose "AI quantitative guaranteed profit" virtual currency scam, victims lose 7.7 million HKD

770 mil HKD, less than one million USD, but it was 17 transfers, one after another, being exploited.

"AI quantitative trading" "Stable high returns" — these words together are basically equivalent to "Come and give me money."

The brilliance of the scam never lies in technical complexity, but in rhythm control:

First stage: Fish farming.

Proactively contact on Telegram, recommend "AI algorithms" to help you trade. A few small trial transactions, giving a little sweetness, to make you believe the system is real.

Second stage: Building "trust."

Repeatedly emphasize professional terms like "quantitative," "algorithm," "hedging," making you feel you've encountered a professional. Before fully trusting, victims have transferred 17 times — this is not impulsive, but a "slow boiling" process.

Third stage: Harvest.

When withdrawal is rejected, only then realize they have been talking to a script from start to finish.

Hong Kong police summarized it well — "High return, low risk, low threshold" forms an impossible triangle.

This triangle is an open trap in the crypto world, and anyone who tells you all three are possible should make you realize they are lying — just haven't been caught yet.

7.7 million HKD, for scammers, is "testing the waters"; for victims, it could be their entire savings.

The so-called "AI quantitative guaranteed profit," translated, is:

Artificial Intelligence, Actually Invisible. Artificial intelligence, in fact, is a hidden scam.
