The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) published a scam alert drawing attention to a Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited notice about fraudulent websites and internet banking login screens, alongside related phishing emails or other scams reported to the HKMA. The HKMA reminded the public that banks do not send SMS or emails with embedded hyperlinks directing customers to banks’ websites to carry out transactions, and do not request sensitive information such as login passwords or One-Time Passwords by phone, email or SMS. Anyone who has provided personal information or conducted financial transactions in response to the scams should contact the relevant bank and report the matter to the Hong Kong Police Force’s Crime Wing Information Centre.
