Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission: Beware of suspicious websites operating under the name "KKR Global"

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong has warned the public to beware of suspicious websites operating under the name "KKR Global", which are suspected of engaging in fraudulent activities related to virtual assets while impersonating a licensed institution. The website in question impersonates KKR Capital markets Asia Limited, a licensed institution regulated by the SFC, and is suspected of engaging in fraudulent activities related to virtual assets while claiming to be headquartered in Hong Kong. Victims have reported being solicited to invest in cryptocurrency products on the website via instant messaging applications. They later encountered difficulties when withdrawing funds from the website and were asked to pay high "fees" to "verify their wallets".
