How would I know if my recipient’s mobile number / email address / FPS Identifier / bank account is flagged for high risk alert?
You can check Scameter (cyberdefender.hk) to see if it is flagged as “High Risk”. When performing a transaction with use of FPS proxy ID (i.e. mobile number, email address, or FPS Identifier) / bank account via internet banking / mobile banking app, the Bank will display a high risk alert message for those FPS proxy IDs / bank accounts flagged in the scam reports provided by the Hong Kong Police Force. You are advised not to make any transactions to the recipient unless you have carefully verified the recipient’s identity and ensure that the recipient is trustworthy.
