The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued a letter on December 9 stating that it had recently received a number of enquiries involving fraudulent HKMA documents. The document alleges that the use of an insurance company user's account was restricted due to “suspected abnormal fund entry and illegal stock operations,” and required the account holder to transfer funds before the deadline to restore account functionality; otherwise, the account will be permanently frozen. The above documents were not issued by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. The HKMA will never actively contact the public on any personal financial matters, nor will it request any form of transfer, payment or account verification. The public must be vigilant. The HKMA has reported the incident to the Hong Kong Police.
