Hospital Authority appeals to stay alert against fraudulent emails
******************************************************************
The Hospital Authority (HA) today (February 21) appeals to members of the public to stay alert against fraudulent act to collect information and request for quotations on behalf of HA.
The HA has recently received reports from some suppliers that fraudulent emails from HA were received with fake supplier registration application form, inviting individual companies to register as HA supplier and request for quotations.
Companies interested in becoming an HA supplier should obtain the necessary information and download the supplier registration application form on the HA official website (www.ha.org.hk), instead of obtaining these information from other channels.
The HA has referred the incident to the police for further investigation. At the same time, the public is reminded that the email sent by HA ends with "@ha.org.hk", and appeals to members of the public to be vigilant towards fraudulent emails.
