The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has warned the public about a fraudulent mobile app linked to a Singapore bank.





The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has issued a public warning about a fraudulent mobile application linked to Bank of Singapore Limited. According to the HKMA, the fake app has been reported to the regulator and an immediate warning has been issued to protect consumers.

Details of the scam app

The HKMA highlighted that fraudulent apps could potentially imitate legitimate banking applications to trick users into sharing sensitive personal information. The official press release from Bank of Singapore Limited addressing this fraudulent app can be found on the HKMA website.

Public advice

HKMA reiterated that legitimate banks will never send SMS or emails with embedded hyperlinks that direct customers to their websites for transactions. Banks will also never request sensitive personal information such as login passwords or one-time passwords (OTPs) via phone, email or SMS, including hyperlinks.

Individuals who have inadvertently provided personal information or made financial transactions via fraudulent apps are urged to immediately contact their bank using the official contact details provided in the press release. They should also report the incident to the police by contacting the Hong Kong Police Force Crime Information Centre (2860 5012).

Precautions

In light of this incident, the HKMA advises the public to be vigilant against phishing attempts and other forms of online fraud. Consumers are encouraged to verify the authenticity of all communications received from their banks and to avoid downloading apps from unverified sources.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) works closely with financial institutions and law enforcement agencies to mitigate risks arising from fraudulent activities and protect the interests of consumers.
