The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has issued a warning to the public about fraudulent websites and fake emails purporting to be authorities. According to the HKMA, these scams include fake websites, digital currency platforms misrepresenting HKMA regulations, and fake documents and emails.

Details of the fraudulent activity

The HKMA highlighted several specific fraudulent activities.

  • This is a fraudulent website using the domain name 353049(.)cc.
  • A digital currency platform called “Kucoin” that claims to be regulated by the HKMA. The platform issued fake documents purporting to be from the HKMA, demanding payment of a fee to release funds from frozen accounts.
  • The email purportedly came from the HKMA, claiming that users of a website overseen by a ‘government department’ could withdraw their funds if they replied to the email.

Explanations and advice from HKMA

The HKMA has made it clear that it has no connection with fraudulent websites or platforms and stressed that the authority does not contact individuals regarding personal financial matters. The HKMA official website is https://www.hkma.gov.hk/eng/.

The HKMA advises the public to refer to the official list of Approved Institutions, Stored Value Facility Licensees and Approved Money Brokers available on its website to verify the legitimacy of a financial institution.

Reporting and Preventive Actions

HKMA reported this fraud to the Hong Kong Police. Individuals who suspect they have been victims of fraud are encouraged to contact the Hong Kong Police Commercial and Technical Crime Hotline on 2860 5012 or report it via the e-Reporting Centre.

Authorities emphasize the importance of vigilance and caution when dealing with unsolicited financial communications. Individuals should verify the authenticity of websites and emails claiming to be from reputable financial institutions before taking any action.

Similar incidents and broader context

The HKMA’s warning is part of wider efforts to combat financial fraud, which is on the rise globally. Financial institutions and regulators around the world are increasingly warning the public about various forms of digital fraud and emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity measures.

There have been several high-profile cases of fraud targeting both individuals and businesses in recent months. These incidents highlight the need for constant vigilance and implementation of robust security protocols to protect sensitive financial information.
