Consumers should beware of fraudulent website www.intranet.cinetecanacional.net/images/banners/hsbc/index.html, which looks similar to the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation's official site, the Monetary Authority says.

HSBC has clarified that it has no connection with the bogus site and has reported the case to Police.

People who have provided personal information to the website or conducted any financial transactions through it should call HSBC on 2748 3322 or Police on 2860 5012.
