BlockBeats News, July 19th. A local woman in Hong Kong with over 10 years of experience investing in virtual assets recently fell into a scam twice, losing over 4 million Hong Kong dollars' worth of cryptocurrency after failing to receive a discount on a virtual asset platform and seeking "customer service" assistance on Telegram. Authorities reminded the public to always contact customer service through official channels, refrain from clicking on unknown links, or disclosing personal account passwords and verification codes.

The police pointed out that the woman had over 10 years of experience in virtual asset investment. After her unsuccessful attempt to claim a discount on the virtual asset platform and not receiving an immediate response from official customer service, she took it upon herself to search for "customer service" on Telegram and proactively contacted an account that appeared to be official for assistance.

The other party immediately claimed to provide assistance and sent an unknown link to the woman. Without suspicion, she clicked on the link and followed instructions to enter "personal information," "account number," and "transaction password." When she logged back into her virtual asset account, she realized that some assets had been transferred out, only then realizing she had been scammed.

Subsequently, the woman once again found another "customer service" account on Telegram, where the individual claimed to help recover the defrauded cryptocurrency. Falling for the scam again, she entered her personal information on a fake website provided by the individual, resulting in the remaining virtual assets in her account being transferred out. She fell victim twice, losing over 4 million Hong Kong dollars in total.
