Hong Kong Police Warn of Fake eTraffic Ticket Sites

WHY IT MATTERS

The alert protects residents from phishing scams that could compromise personal and financial data, ensuring they use only verified police channels for traffic fines.

What happened

The Hong Kong Police Force has issued a public warning about fraudulent websites claiming to be its official eTraffic Ticket Platform. These sites falsely advertise discounts for early fine payment, aiming to trick users into giving credit card details and personal information. The legitimate platform can only be accessed at https://www. etrafficticket. gov. hk, and the force clarified that no discounts are offered for traffic ticket payments. SMS notifications about electronic Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) will appear only from the sender name “#HKPF-eTT” and will never contain hyperlinks. Citizens who have entered personal data on the bogus sites should report the incident by calling 18222, while platform inquiries can be made to 181 181.
