At least 498 people lost a total of at least $25.5 million to investment scams since last month.

Scammers would build rapport with victims over time to gain their trust before introducing “investment opportunities”. By then, victims were inclined to believe scammers and follow their instructions in conducting transactions under the pretext of their “investments”.

Victims would only realise they had been scammed when they could not withdraw their “profits” or could no longer contact the scammers. These scammers target victims who respond to their outreach and lure them to “invest in opportunities” with high returns in a short time. These claims are often accompanied by fraudulent testimonies.

In some of these cases, victims would receive phone calls or messages from scammers posing as staff from investment companies or brokers.
