Crypto news platform CoinJie News: Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited (HKICL) recently issued a notice exposing multiple fake websites that use cash rewards and virtual wallet transactions to steal users’ personal and bank information. These scam websites impersonate clearing companies, promote a false “Buyer Online Safety Protection” service, and lure users into completing so-called real-name verification. Victims are asked to submit their Hong Kong identity card number, ID card photo, phone number, bank account details, and the name of the account holder in exchange for the promised cash rewards. HKICL said these websites have nothing to do with its business and reminded the public not to provide personal information to suspicious communications claiming to represent the organization. In addition, HKICL advised anyone who believes they have become a victim to report to the Hong Kong Police as soon as possible. This warning comes as Hong Kong’s financial regulators step up online anti-scam protection measures targeting digital asset users and payment services.

HKICL has already come out to refute the rumor. These scams impersonating liquidation firms are too rampant—everyone, please don’t be tempted by small bargains and upload your ID card photo.

Cash rewards + real-name verification—the classic pig-butchering scam combo. Now even liquidation companies are being impersonated by people who dare—what huge nerve they have.
