GBACM (gbacm.com) Scam: Fake Site Using a Hong Kong Firm's Name

GBACM is a site that claims to offer investment services under the domain gbacm.com, which echoes the initials of GBA Capital Management Limited, a licensed firm in Hong Kong. On 27 October 2026 the Hong Kong SFC added this address to its suspicious sites list and announced that it has no connection with the real company.

🪪 Winning Trust With an Abbreviation Domain

In schemes of this kind, an investor who searches the internet finds the record of a real licensed company and assumes that the site belongs to it. After the money is deposited, profits are shown on the dashboard; at the withdrawal stage, new payments such as tax, commission or an account verification fee are demanded.
