Suspected fraudulent website: www.abnfs.com

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) wishes to alert members of the public in Hong Kong to a suspected fraudulent website with the domain name "www.abnfs.com". The website is operated by an alleged "ABN Finance & Securities", which claims that it offers various banking services to members of the public in Hong Kong.

The public should be aware that the alleged entity is not authorized under the Banking Ordinance to carry on banking business or the business of taking deposits in Hong Kong, nor does it have the approval to establish a local representative office.

The HKMA has referred the case to the Hong Kong Police Force for further investigation. Anyone who has provided his or her personal information to the website or has conducted any financial transactions through the website should contact any local Police Station or the Commercial Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force at 2860 5012.

For further enquiries, please contact:
Kevin Ip, Manager (Press), at 2878 1687 or
