Wu learned that Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited (HKICL) has issued an announcement stating that it recently discovered multiple scam platforms impersonating its official website. These fake sites claim to offer services such as Faster Payments System (FPS) transaction refunds, reporting unauthorized transactions, and transaction support, under the name of “Buyer Online Security Assurance.” They lure users into submitting sensitive information such as an ID photo, phone number, bank name, and account details, and guide users to chat with the impersonated customer service to make deposits or withdrawals. HKICL emphasized that the company generally does not directly provide FPS services to the public or proactively contact individual users, and it called on the public to beware of suspicious communications.

Now scammers even dare to impersonate bank settlement companies. They have nerves. Everyone, when you see any link that asks you to fill in your bank card information, you have to pause and stay calm for three seconds first.

HKICL will never proactively look for individual users; remember this to prevent 90% of scams.
