保險業監管局呼籲留意可疑Facebook帳戶及欺詐網站
The Insurance Authority urged the public to beware of several Facebook accounts named "Congratulation Winner" and three fraudulent websites, which impersonate the official website of authorised insurance intermediary The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited in an attempt to obtain sensitive personal information. HSBC has confirmed that it has no connection with the accounts and websites, and the case has been referred to the Hong Kong Police Force for investigation. Those who have provided information through the links should call (852) 2233-3000 to contact HSBC and report the case to the police.
The announcement lists the names of suspicious Facebook accounts and three fraudulent URLs, and explains which telephone number members of the public who have provided personal details should contact and report to the police.
