Alert issued on bogus email

July 09, 2013

The Monetary Authority today issued an alert on a fraudulent email purporting to be sent from China CITIC Bank International.
 
The email asks customers to use an embedded hyperlink to connect to a fraudulent website and verify their account information by entering their Internet banking account's user name and password.
 
The fraudulent website looks similar to the bank's Internet banking logon webpage.
 
The bank has clarified that it has not sent these emails to its customers and has no connection with the fraudulent website. It has reported the case to Police.
