According to a report by Sing Tao Daily, the Hong Kong police conducted a territory wide law enforcement operation from April 7th to April 17th, targeting fraud, cybercrime, and money laundering, with the code name "Assault". A total of 503 people were arrested, involving 404 cases of fraud and technology crimes, with a total amount of HKD 1.56 billion involved. During the operation, the police raided a fraud center located in an industrial building unit in Tsuen Wan and arrested 11 people, some of whom had triad backgrounds. Group members use online dating platforms to create characters of "young and beautiful" and "successful" women, and use "language" and "artificial intelligence face swapping technology" to lure victims into opening online stores on fake e-commerce platforms, forging online store traffic and third-party orders, and demanding that victims recharge their online stores with virtual currency.
