The Hong Kong Monetary Authority published an alert from Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited (HKICL) about a fraudulent website impersonating HKICL and offering purported buyer protection services for Faster Payment System (FPS) transactions. The site claims to provide buyer refunds, unauthorized transaction reporting and transaction support before directing users to fraudsters posing as customer service personnel. HKICL has no affiliation with the website and does not ordinarily provide FPS services directly to individuals or proactively contact them. Members of the public should remain alert to suspicious communications, protect their personal information and report suspected fraud to the police.
