The Hong Kong Police Force issued a public alert today regarding four fraudulent websites that falsely claim to represent the police. These sites, which are solely in English, offer misleading services including “Case Status,” “Launch Case,” and “Officer Directory” in an attempt to gather personal data from unsuspecting users.
The identified fraudulent websites include:
https://96o.1ss5623.com
https://joshhyoung.icu
https://amylfraser.xyz

The genuine police website can be accessed at https://www.police.gov.hk.
In light of this situation, police urge citizens to remain vigilant and avoid visiting any suspicious websites. They also advise against disclosing personal information online. Anyone who may have provided personal details to these fraudulent sites is encouraged to report the incident to the police immediately.
