According to Odaily, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has issued a warning about fraudulent activities involving projects related to the authority, such as the Digital Hong Kong Dollar (e-HKD) pilot program and the cross-border wealth management mechanism. The HKMA has urged the public, including both mainland and Hong Kong residents, to be vigilant to avoid falling victim to these scams.
The HKMA has received public inquiries claiming that a certain company was selected for the e-HKD pilot program, and would release digital Hong Kong dollars, equity, and dividends to attract public investment. In response to these claims, the HKMA has reported the incident to the Hong Kong police. The authority has reiterated the need for the public to remain alert and cautious in order to avoid being deceived by such fraudulent activities.
