The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has included Proxinex and its related websites in the warning list of suspicious virtual asset trading platforms

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued a press release warning the public to be cautious of an entity operating under the name "Proxinex" that is suspected of engaging in virtual asset-related fraud.

Investors have reported difficulties in withdrawing virtual assets from Proxinex, and were subsequently informed that their "accounts do not exist." The SFC also suspects that Proxinex has employed agents who lure investors into depositing funds with Proxinex through social networking applications. These agents may have forged documents claiming to be issued by a certain financial regulatory body and a certain financial institution in Hong Kong to embellish their personal credentials. The SFC has included Proxinex and its related websites on the list of suspicious virtual asset trading platforms as of July 29, 2024. Although the related websites are currently inaccessible, the public should be wary of scammers potentially continuing to establish similarly named websites.
