According to Macau Radio, a local woman in Macau was induced by netizens to invest in virtual currencies. Since mid-September, she transferred money to a designated account in 8 installments. The platform once showed a "profit of 7.9 million yuan," but when she tried to withdraw, she was asked to pay a "currency exchange difference" of 250,000 yuan first. Afterwards, she lost contact with the platform, and it was finally confirmed that she was scammed out of 1.18 million yuan. Another elderly man in Macau was also lured by netizens under the guise of "stock securities investment," depositing 110,000 HKD as instructed and was able to withdraw 40,000 HKD with "interest." He was later asked to pay a deposit and handling fees, and ultimately could not withdraw his funds, losing about 80,000 HKD.
