Alert on Telephone Deception Relating to Cash Payout Scheme of the Hong Kong SAR Government
There is a recent rise of telephone deceptions relating to Cash Payout Scheme of the Hong Kong SAR Government (“CPS”). In order to protect customers’ asset and personal data, the Bank reminds customers that:
-
It is anticipated that CPS will be increasingly used as a bait by fraudsters in devising various scams including telephone deception.
-
Customers should exercise extra caution whenever receiving calls from unsolicited callers or pre-recorded voice message (“PRVM”) asking for customer’s personal and/or banking information for purposes relating to CPS. This is particularly so where the caller’s number starts with a "+" sign, which indicates the call has been originated from the overseas.
-
In any genuine call from the Bank to our customers, the call never starts with a PRVM, or requests the customer to press a button on the phone number pad via PRVM. If customers have received any call starting with PRVM, they should hang up at once.
-
Customers should never disclose personal data and/or bank account details in a call from unsolicited callers or PRVM.
For enquiries, please call Anti-Scam Hotline at 18222 or United Overseas Bank, Hong Kong Branch’s Hotline at 2910 8888.
