HashKey Capital

🚨SCAMMER ALERT🚨 It has come to our attention that there are scammers attempting to impersonate HashKey Capital as well as its officers and representatives, such as HashKey Capital’s CEO. These impostors have been creating fake profiles on social media platforms like Telegram and LinkedIn. They typically initiate contact by prompting users to schedule a meeting, after which they provide a suspicious meeting link that, once clicked, automatically downloads scripts into users' devices. It is crucial to exercise caution and refrain from clicking on any links from unverified sources to avoid potential security risks. Please refer to some examples of fake accounts and scam messages: Each business function of HashKey Capital, including Investor Relations and Fundraising is handled by a dedicated team of staff that will communicate exclusively through official channels. Neither the CEO nor any individual staff will, through unofficial channels, reach out to any parties, including investors, projects founders or community partners. Please exercise caution and only rely official announcements and channels of communication as legitimate sources of information. Please remain vigilant and ignore any suspicious calls, emails or messages from persons attempting to impersonate HashKey Capital or any of its officers or staff. Please avoid transferring any digital assets or currencies or otherwise providing your personal information to any party that you are unable to verify the identity of. We take these incidents very seriously. If you receive any suspicious communications from persons attempting to impersonate HashKey Capital or any of its officers or staff, please inform us at: capital.communications@hashkey.com.
