The Digital Policy Office (DPO) today (April 23) wishes to alert members of the public to two fraudulent "GovHK" websites addresses (https://gov-hk[.]org, https://gov hk[.]info) which seek to deceive members of the public into providing their personal information.

     The DPO stresses that the fraudulent websites have no connection with "GovHK" and has referred the case to the Police for follow-up. The DPO reiterates that "GovHK" website (www.gov.hk) is an information portal which does not request any personal information from the members of the public.

     Members of the public should stay alert when receiving any unidentified emails or messages, and should not visit any suspicious websites and disclose any personal information. Anyone who has provided his or her personal information to the websites concerned or suspects that they have become victims of fraudulent acts should contact the Police. For enquiries about "GovHK", please call hotline at 183 5500.
