Illogical returns of forex schemes

BY M. SHANMUGAM

It is said that the returns range from 100% per annum to more than 250% per annum.

According to a survey by LCH Investments, the world’s top-20 hedge funds returned only 3.2% in 2015.

In absolute amount, the top-20 hedge funds made a return of US$15bil on an investment size of US$465bil.

What is startling is that hedge fund managers outside the top-20 lost US$99bil for their clients.

Hong Kong is ground zero for a scam that the FBI labels a ‘super swindle’

Jane Moir explains how criminals are using deception to target overseas companies that have supplier arrangements in the city

The scam typically targets a “victim” company located in the US or Western Europe which has supplier arrangements that are brokered through Hong Kong and involve money cleared through bank accounts here.

The victim generally receives an email asking for payment to be made by wire transfer, with a sufficiently plausible cover note that suspicions are not raised, and hence payment is made to the requested bank account in Hong Kong.

When the goods do not show up, suspicions are raised and at this point it becomes clear that the con-artist has interloped as the trusted trade partner.

Details of the supplier relationship may have been gleaned from a “hack” of the two parties’ correspondence, however the actual deception generally involves the wire transfer request being made on an email address that is slightly different (maybe just a single letter) from the real trade partner’s regular email.
