Hong Kong reproduced fake post office receiving short messages or emails, disguised as receiving notifications, requiring the recipient to provide supplementary information, or even paying for the postage or duties required for "reposting" unsuccessful mail.

The fake SMS and the website are highly emulated, and many people have already fallen through the Internet.

The website linked to by this type of phishing SMS is by no means the official website of Hongkong Post, which aims to induce victims to provide credit card information.

This article summarizes the 5 major points of attention to teach you to identify suspicious parts of the highly counterfeit post office website to prevent money deception, and also attaches the key points of the Hongkong Post clarification announcement.

Fake Hongkong Post received short messages again to ravage Hong Kong.

In the LIHKG (Lian Dang) discussion area, a netizen posted a post with "Suddenly" Post Office Fake Credit Card Information" showing the content of the phishing SMS.

This type of SMS or e-mail will claim that the recipient’s package needs to be re-delivered because the receiving address is incorrect, or claim that there is a package waiting to be delivered, and require the recipient to click on the attached link to go to the fake website. Confirm or provide the correct recipient address.

The reporter also received similar phishing emails on Hotmail yesterday (January 20), which also linked to a website that pretended to be Hongkong Post’s "e-mail ec-ship" service, and the degree of simulation was extremely high. If you don't pay attention, you will "shut down."
