If your "girl" claimed to be in Hong Kong,
if the "broker" claimed to be in Hong Kong,
and most especially
if you sent any money related to this to Hong Kong,
The Hong Kong Police want to hear from you!
You don't even have to fly to HK and spend time in quarantine. You can do it all online. Report all the details here:
https://www1.erc.police.gov.hk/cmiserc/CCC/PolicePublicPage?language=en
Include info on how you met the "pretty girl" (or "pretty boy" - these scammers are equal opportunity offenders) who is scamming you, including online social media accounts, phone numbers, email address, or any other method that was used to start or continue communication. Info on the so-called broker is also good. Most importantly, every detail of where and how you sent the money can be helpful tracking them.
Take screenshots. A lot of the online dating and other social media accounts will disappear. The broker will also disappear at some point.
You'll have a nice pile of evidence, so don't be stingy. After you are done with the HK police, share it with the cyber police in your country. Share it with eConsumer.gov too. After that, ask The Punisher or GASO for even more ideas on where to share it.
