Hong Kong gang cons 67 women out of HK$3 million in fake jobs and investment scam


Hong Kong police have arrested six people suspected of conning 67 female “employees” of two fake companies out of HK$3 million in a bogus investment scam.

Police on Thursday said the gang hired the women for office jobs, demanded they invest in the companies, and then sacked them when they refused to invest any more or asked for their money back.
