Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited reminds public to beware of two fake Faster Payment System websites
香港銀行同業結算有限公司提醒公眾慎防偽冒網站
Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited recently identified two fraudulent websites impersonating its official site, tuikuanfpsnew.sbs and tuikuanfpsnew.cfd. The websites masquerade as an online buyer security service, offering refunds and reporting of unauthorised transactions, in an attempt to lure members of the public into submitting copies of their identity cards, telephone numbers and bank account details. The clearing company clarified that it has absolutely no connection with them, and that its genuine official websites are www.hkicl.com.hk and fps.hkicl.com.hk. Suspicious communications can be verified by calling 2533 1111.
The announcement lists two fake URLs, the clearing company's genuine official website and a verification telephone number, allowing members of the public to check item by item whether they are accessing a fraudulent website, while also providing a channel for enquiries if they suspect they have been defrauded.
