Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited said it has identified a fraudulent website impersonating its official site and attempting to lure users into sharing sensitive information. The fake site claims to support deposits and withdrawals through a virtual wallet and says it offers online transaction security support for the Faster Payment System, or FPS. According to the company, those claimed services include refunds, reporting unauthorized online transactions, and transaction support. HKICL said it does not normally provide FPS services directly to individual members of the public and does not proactively contact individuals. It urged people not to submit personal details or bank account information to the website. The alert was cited from a Hong Kong SAR government press release.
