    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

    More info coming soon.

So, just deposit a PILE of money (which will allegedly be available for withdrawal after 3 months), trade massive amounts (while paying trading fees) and, if you make any profits, pay some highly questionable taxes. What a deal! What could possibly go wrong? ;)

Or, contact Hong Kong's:
Monetary Authority - https://www.hkma.gov.hk/eng/
Securities and Futures Commission - https://www.sfc.hk/en
Inland Revenue Department - https://www.ird.gov.hk/eng/welcome.htm
Police - https://www.erc.police.gov.hk/cmiserc/CCC/PolicePublicPage?language=en


Allowing Person A to deposit into his account using Person B's money is a complete AML failure. The account would not be considered legitimate. If you did deposit using someone else's info, generally the best you can hope for is to have the deposit returned to the source. No amount of trading or deposit can make an illegitimate account become legitimate.

If Person A deposited into his own trading account from his own financial accounts (bank, credit card, PayPal, whatever), no amount of trading or deposit can make a legitimate account more legitimate.

You should ask HK's Inland Revenue if there are any taxes on the type of trading you are doing and how those should be paid. In general, if taxes are owed, you would send them to Inland revenue or the broker would deduct them from your account. I believe it would be very unlikely for you to have to pay the taxes to the broker, but ONLY Inland Revenue can give you a final answer.

Please come back and let us know what the HK authorities have to say about your issue.
 
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is responsible for regulating Authorized institutions (AIs), Stored Value Facility (SVF) Licensees and Money Brokers in Hong Kong. Relevant AIs are namely licensed banks, restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies. You may refer to the list of AIs, SVF Licensees and approved money brokers under the HKMA's supervision at: https://www.hkma.gov.hk/eng/regulatory-resources/registers/ and https://www.hkma.gov.hk/media/eng/d.../banking-policy-and-supervision/name_list.xls .

Please be informed that cangforex88 (www.cangforex88.com) is not an AI, SVF Licensee or approved money broker. Therefore, it is not supervised by the HKMA. There is no restriction on money transfer in Hong Kong and the HKMA does not impose charges of any kind on money transfer.
