Fraudulent website purporting to be HKMA’s official website, platform claimed to be regulated by HKMA and bogus documents and emails

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) would like to alert members of the public to a fraudulent website purporting to be HKMA’s official website, a platform claimed to be regulated by HKMA, and bogus documents and emails: a fraudulent website with the domain name 353049[.]cc; a digital currency platform named “Kucoin”, claiming that it is regulated by the HKMA. It issued documents purportedly from the HKMA, demanding payment of fees in order to recover money from frozen accounts; and a reminder purportedly issued by the HKMA via email, claiming that users of a website supervised by a “government department” can withdraw funds by replying the email.
