What happened

Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) added stellarisaml.com to its Alert List as a suspicious website, first posted on 9 November 2026. The SFC states the website has no connection to the SFC-licensed firm Stellaris Asset Management Limited. Stellaris Asset Management Limited is not involved.

How the scam works

The SFC notes that operators of suspicious websites often use names similar to legitimate companies to confuse investors. A site that looks like a licensed asset manager can advertise trading accounts, managed portfolios or high returns, then ask visitors to deposit money into accounts that do not belong to the real firm.

Because the genuine Stellaris Asset Management Limited is licensed, anyone who searches the name may find a real entry on the SFC register and assume the website is connected. Comparing the exact website address with the details on the register is essential; a similar name on a different domain is a classic clone-site warning sign.

The SFC warns people not to respond to online investment opportunities unless they are sure the company is properly licensed and legitimate. Before depositing money, check the SFC Public Register and contact the firm only through the details shown there. Anyone who has already sent money via stellarisaml.com should contact their bank and report the matter to the SFC and the police.

Clone investment sites often copy logos, licence numbers and office addresses from the real firm. The SFC Alert List entry is the regulator's warning that this particular website is not connected to the licensed company, regardless of how professional it looks.
