The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has warned about fake webpages with the addresses "http://bankofeastasia-uk.com" and "http://loginq.org/bankofeastasia-uk/login.php". The first page appeared similar to the official homepage of The Bank of East Asia, Limited (BEA) and contained a link to a fraudulent Internet banking login on the second page. BEA has clarified that it has no connection with the fraudulent websites. The pages had been removed at the time of writing.
Victims should contact BEA at 2211 1333 and any local Police Station or the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force at 2860 5012.
