Golden Finance reported that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission warned the public to be wary of an entity operating under the name "Linkbex" and suspected of engaging in virtual asset-related fraud activities. Linkbex falsely claimed that it had contacts with seven companies licensed by the SFC in Hong Kong. Investors also reported that their Linkbex account was locked up by the so-called "SFC crackdown on money laundering investigation." The Hong Kong Police Force has taken action to block Linkbex's related websites at the request of the SFC.
