Fraudulent website: www.dbsbankhk.com

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) wishes to alert members
of the public in Hong Kong to a fraudulent website with the domain
name "www.dbsbankhk.com". The
website looks very similar to the official website of DBS Bank
(Hong Kong) Limited (DBS). DBS has issued a press release today to
clarify that DBS has no connection with the fraudulent website.

DBS has reported the case to the Hong Kong Police Force for
further investigation. Anyone who has dealings with this fraudulent
website, or 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 and DBS at
2290 8123.
