The Department of Health (DH) today (December 16) alerted members of the public to fraudulent advertisements published on social media and online platforms about medical insurance provided by the Hong Kong Government.
The fraudulent advertisements, carrying the DH logo, claimed that the Government will provide medical insurance for the elderly in Hong Kong. The DH clarified that it has never published, or authorised the publishing of, such advertisements, adding that all the remarks in the advertisements are fictitious. The DH has reported the case to the Police.
Anyone who has provided his or her personal information to any suspicious websites or unknown persons via the advertisements should contact the Police.
