HKMA Warns About Fake Korea Development Bank Website

First published: 30^th November 2013

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has issued a warning about a fraudulent website with the domain name "www.kdbaonline.com". The website copies the official website of Korea Development Bank (KDB) but the bank has no connection with the fraudulent website.

The kdbaonline.com domain name was registered in July 2013, supposedly by Rick Iwinsom of Lagos, Nigeria. The website was still active at the time of writing and hosted at SingleHop, a Chicago-based hosting company.

The Hong Kong Police are investigating and anyone who has provided personal information to the website or has conducted any financial transactions through the website should contact KDB Asia Limited at 2524 7011 and any local police station or the Commercial Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force at 2860 5012.
