The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority:

     Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited (HKICL) has recently noted two types of fraudulent websites purported to be from HKICL:
      
Type 1:

• fps.money

 
     This fraudulent website impersonates as an online payment portal to deceive user into submitting their credit card details, including the cardholder's name, card number, expiration date, and security code.
 
Type 2:

• fps-refund.top

 
     This fraudulent website intends to trick user into giving away login credentials. Further, it directs user to a WhatsApp chat with the fraudster impersonating as customer service personnel.
      
     Please be reminded that Type 2 fraudulent website may have multiple combinations at the end of the link, e.g.:

• fps-refund.top/registered/?uuid=refund

 
     HKICL advises that these fraudulent websites have no affiliation with HKICL, or any business of HKICL. HKICL will not directly provide FPS service to individual members of the public or contact individual members of the public proactively under usual circumstance. The genuine official website addresses of HKICL are www.hkicl.com.hk and fps.hkicl.com.hk.
      
     HKICL urges the public to beware of suspicious calls, websites or other communications, and to remain vigilant in protecting personal information. If members of the public receive any suspicious communication purportedly from HKICL, please call HKICL's general line at 2533 1111 to verify. Members of the public who suspect that they have become the victim of fraudulent acts should report promptly to the Police.
