Odaily Planet Daily News: The Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited has issued an announcement stating that recently, multiple imitation websites have been discovered. Under the guise of "Buyer Online Security Guarantee," these sites trick users into submitting personal information such as ID numbers, ID card photos, and phone numbers for so-called "identity verification." Using cash rewards as an incentive, they then induce users to make deposits and withdrawals through so-called virtual wallets. The Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited urges the public to be wary of suspicious phone calls, websites, or other communications, and to report to the police as soon as possible if they suspect they have been deceived.
