     The Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) alerted members of the public today (August 14) that there were four fraudulent websites purportedly to be the HKPF website.

     The websites provide English version only and seek to deceive the public by offering three fake services, namely Case Status, Launch Case and Officer Directory,  in order to obtain from the public their personal data or criminal information, such as names, dates of birth, addresses and phone numbers, etc.

     The four fraudulent websites purportedly to be the HKPF website are set out below:

1. https://96o.1ss5623.com
2. https://joshhyoung.icu
3. https://amylfraser.xyz
4. https://tiaflowe.icu

     The HKPF clarifies that the Force has no connection with the fraudulent websites. The case is being investigated and followed up, including taking down the fraudulent websites, by the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau.  

     The genuine website of the HKPF is https://www.police.gov.hk.

     Members of the public should stay alert and should not visit suspicious websites or disclose any personal information. Anyone who has provided personal information to any of the websites concerned should report to the Police as soon as possible.
