Why We're Sharing This
Recently, we learned that scammers successfully targeted clients of another online trading platform using sophisticated social engineering tactics. While this didn't happen to Hikari Nova, we believe in transparency and want to keep our community informed about evolving threats in the industry.
The Scam: How It Works
Scammers are posing as representatives from legitimate financial service providers. Here's how the recent case unfolded:
Victims clicked on a fake news article on social media that appeared to come from a reliable financial news outlet
<li>They were called by someone posing as a financial advisor from the trading platform</li>
<li>During the call, scammers directed victims to the real company website to build trust</li>
<li>Victims were guided to deposit money and provide sensitive financial information</li>
<li>The scammers used high-pressure tactics and maintained control of the conversation throughout</li>
</ul>
<p>This kind of social engineering can feel convincing because these scammers are fast, well-prepared, and deliberately create a sense of urgency.</p>
