The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has published a warning from Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited (HKICL) about two fraudulent websites impersonating HKICL and offering purported buyer protection services for Faster Payment System (FPS) transactions. The sites seek personal identification documents, phone numbers and bank account details while directing users to fraudsters posing as customer service personnel. HKICL has no affiliation with the websites and does not ordinarily provide FPS services directly to individuals or proactively contact members of the public. Its official websites are www.hkicl.com.hk and fps.hkicl.com.hk, and people who suspect fraud should report it promptly to the police.
