Consumers should beware of a fraudulent website with the domain name www.hkb-online.net, the Monetary Authority warns.

The site purports to be operated by HSBC and asks recipients to deposit funds into an account if they are interested in a promotional deposit offer. HSBC has clarified it has no connection with the bogus website and has reported the case to Police.

People who have offered personal information to the website or has had transactions through the website should contact HSBC at 2748 3322 or the Commercial Crime Bureau at 2860 5012.
