SWD urges public to be alert to fraudulent website

     The Social Welfare Department (SWD) today (October 7) alerted members of the public to a fraudulent website, which purports to be the website of the SWD (subsidy-swd-gov-hk[.]web[.]app).

     The fraudulent website seeks to obtain the personal and credit card information of the members of the public. The SWD emphasises that the website has no connection with the department and has referred the case to the Police for follow-up.

     Anyone who has provided his or her personal information to the website concerned should contact the Police. For enquiries, please call the SWD's hotline at 2343 2255.
