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

7.7 million HKD, less than one million USD, but it involves 17 transfers, each one a cut.

"AI quantitative trading" "stable high returns" — these words together are basically equivalent to "come and give money."

The cleverness 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 trades to give a taste, making 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 transfer 17 times — this is not impulsive, but a "slow boiling" process.

Third stage: Harvest.

When withdrawal is refused, only then realize you’ve 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; if anyone tells you all three are possible, you should understand they are lying — just not caught yet.

7.7 million HKD, for scammers, is "testing the waters"; for victims, it may be all their assets.

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

Artificial Intelligence, Actually Invisible. 人工智能，实际上是隐形骗术。
