SCMP Reports to Police Over Copycat Website Promising Fake Cryptocurrency Investments

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) has filed a police report concerning the emergence of a copycat website promoting fake cryptocurrency investments. According to SCMP, this fraudulent website was operating under deceptive pretenses, mimicking the publication’s branding and format to lure unsuspecting users into investing. The site fabricated news featuring fabricated claims that Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing had promoted crypto auto trading during an interview with major TVB broadcaster. This claim was further amplified by a fake screenshot interface that visually resembled SCMP’s website, creating the illusion of authenticity.
