There is a recent rise of telephone deceptions relating to Cash Payout Scheme of the Hong Kong SAR Government (“CPS”). In order to protect customers’ asset and personal data, the Bank reminds customers that:
It is anticipated that CPS will be increasingly used as a bait by fraudsters in devising various scams including telephone deception.
Customers should exercise extra caution whenever receiving calls from unsolicited callers or pre-recorded voice message (“PRVM”) asking for customer’s personal and/or banking information for purposes relating to CPS. This is particularly so where the caller’s number starts with a "+" sign, which indicates the call has been originated from the overseas.
In any genuine call from the Bank to our customers, the call never starts with a PRVM, or requests the customer to press a button on the phone number pad via PRVM. If customers have received any call starting with PRVM, they should hang up at once.
Customers should never disclose personal data and/or bank account details in a call from unsolicited callers or PRVM.
For enquiries, please call Anti-Scam Hotline at 18222 or United Overseas Bank, Hong Kong Branch’s Hotline at 2910 8888.
United Overseas Bank, Hong Kong Branch has not authorised or appointed any intermediaries to conduct telesales marketing activities for promotion of commercial lending. If a caller claims to be from UOB inviting applicants for commercial lending, it might be a suspected unauthorised telesales call.
If you have any enquires on this or you suspect you have received such calls, please call United Overseas Bank, Hong Kong Branch’s hotline at (852) 2910 8888.
Please be careful and avoid errors when you make any fund transfers. If you have received fund which a transferor sent by mistake, please promptly report to the Bank at (852) 2910 8888 to arrange the return of fund to the transferor at the earliest convenience. Please be alerted that you may be criminally liable if you do not return the fund.
