Defrauding Tricks
The Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) alerted members of the public that there was a fraudulent website purportedly to be the Online Booking System developed by the HKPF. The domain name of the fraudulent website was https://4006804.cc, which sought to deceive the public and obtain their personal data or crime information, such as names, identity card numbers and photos, by offering three fake services, namely Criminal Wanted Tracing System (CWTS), Submit Funds Inventory (SFI), and Secure Account Acquisition (SAA).
The HKPF clarifies that it has no connection with the website concerned and does not offer the three said services. The Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau is looking into and following up on the case, including taking down the fraudulent website.
