*
Monetary Authority logo

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority warns of a suspected fraudulent website with the domain name "www.obc-international.com". 

 

The website is operated by an alleged "Overseas Banking Corporation International", which claims that it has an office in Hong Kong and offers various banking services. 

 

The alleged entity is not authorised under the Banking Ordinance to carry on banking business or the business of taking deposits in Hong Kong, nor does it have the approval to establish a local representative office, the authority said.

 

The case has been reported to the Hong Kong Police for further investigation. 

 

People who have dealings with this fraudulent website, or has provided their personal information to the website, or has conducted any financial transactions through the website should contact any local Police Station or the Commercial Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force at 2860 5012.

 

They may also contact the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited's Hong Kong Branch at 2868 2086.
