JIAS: turned away at the lobby at 香港特别行政区观塘区巧明街116-118号

What the team found

JIAS publishes 香港特别行政区观塘区巧明街116-118号 as its office. The address is in Hong Kong. Nothing outside carried the company's name, and the building's security turned the team away at the lobby without confirming whether the company is a tenant.

Being refused at the desk is common in a managed building and is not evidence either way. It does mean nobody would confirm that JIAS is there, and nothing visible from the street does either.

The checks

The checks that decided this outcome, from the visit checklist.

What Hong Kong looks like across the set

Hong Kong accounts for 535 of the addresses the team has visited. Across the 534 other visits to the city, the team confirmed an office 138 times, found nothing 154 times and could not get access 242 times.

The reports either side of this one in Hong Kong are 嘉盛, JINRUI FUTURES CO., LTD. and JINRUI FUTURES (HONG KONG) LTD, and reading two or three together is usually more telling than any single visit.

Reading the checks together

In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside and reception could not say either way. No single check settles an outcome on its own, which is why each one is listed above rather than folded into a verdict.

What this outcome means

Access restricted. Building or security restrictions prevented the researcher from completing the planned checks.

A field survey confirms only what was observed at the stated address and time. It does not verify regulatory status, client-money handling, trading conditions or financial strength. The photographs are the team's own, taken at the location on the day, and may be cropped for privacy. Read how surveys are conducted.
