Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) today added 'Huayoubang Family Office', also named 'HY Bang Family Office', to its Alert List in the category of unlicensed entities (add date 13 Nov 2026, marked New). The SFC entry lists no address or website. The SFC states that the entities named are not licensed by or registered with the SFC for any regulated activity under the Securities and Futures Ordinance, and are not permitted to carry on any regulated activity in Hong Kong or actively market such services to the Hong Kong public, whether from Hong Kong or from abroad. The SFC notes that unlicensed entities often use names similar to legitimate companies to confuse investors, and advises investors to deal only with licensed entities, to hang up on cold callers, and to check its Public Register of Licensed Persons and Registered Institutions. The Alert List entry is a licensing warning and does not itself state that any specific fraud has occurred.
Unlicensed investment and 'AI trading' sites usually start with a polished sign-up form, a promised high or guaranteed return, and pressure to deposit quickly, often after a call or a message on Telegram. Early small withdrawals may be paid so that you send more. Clone firms copy the name, and sometimes the address or phone number, of a real authorised business. Check the firm on your national regulator's register, and type the official website yourself rather than following a link. A regulator warning or a block order is not a finding that a particular customer lost money; it is a notice that the site is not authorised to offer those services.
