According to ChainCatcher, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued an official warning to the public to be vigilant against fraudsters impersonating the SFC in scam activities. The agency has discovered that scammers are posing as certain senior SFC executives and well-known stock commentators, contacting the public through phishing emails and forged documents.

These fraudsters include individuals impersonating Mr. Christopher Wilson, Executive Director of Enforcement, to send fraudulent emails in an attempt to install malware or ransomware on recipients’ computer systems. Others have impersonated Mr. Wan Chi Yiu, Chief Financial Officer of the SFC, sending phishing emails under the guise of a “data verification process” to obtain recipients’ contact information, targeting SFC-licensed corporations and their employees.

The Hong Kong SFC emphasizes that all of the aforementioned messages and claims are false, and urges the public to remain highly alert when handling communications from unknown sources.
