On 6 March 2025, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HK SFC) has issued a public warning against Linkbex, an entity suspected of engaging in virtual asset-related fraudulent activities. The HK SFC stated that Linkbex falsely claimed affiliation with seven HK SFC-licensed corporations and misled investors by citing a fake anti-money laundering investigation by the regulator.
In response to the suspected fraud, the Hong Kong Police Force has taken action at the HK SFC’s request to block access to Linkbex’s website. Linkbex and its website is added to the HK SFC’s Suspicious Virtual Asset Trading Platforms Alert List on 6 March 2025.
