The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued a public warning of suspected virtual asset-related fraud operating under Linkbex with false claims of affiliation to 7 SFC licensed corporations in Hong Kong. Linkbex investors have reported their accounts are locked due to money laundering investigation by the Hong Kong SFC. Hong Kong SFC (6/3/25): “The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) today warns the public of an entity operating under the name of Linkbex for suspected virtual asset-related fraudulent activities (Note 1). Linkbex made false claims of its affiliation with seven SFC licensed corporations in Hong Kong. Investors also reported that their accounts with Linkbex were locked due to purported “anti-money laundering investigation of the SFC”. At the SFC’s request, the Hong Kong Police Force has taken steps to block access to the relevant website of Linkbex. Linkbex and its respective website were also posted on the SFC’s Suspicious Virtual Asset Trading Platforms Alert List on 6 March 2025. The SFC would like to remind the public that they can look up public announcements on its official website concerning certain regulatory actions, such as freezing client accounts of licensed intermediaries. Online investment scams may involve any type of assets and are perpetrated through multiple channels, and investors can suffer substantial losses. Therefore, investors should stay vigilant and beware of fraud when making investment decisions.”
