The Insurance Authority (IA) today alerted the public to bogus phone calls purportedly associated with the IA.
The IA has recently received public enquiries about suspicious phone calls in the form of pre-recorded messages, claiming to be made by the IA. In one case, the recipient was asked to take further actions relating to some suspicious insurance policies.
An IA spokesperson stated that the IA will not contact individual members of the public through pre-recorded phone calls and request them to take actions in relation to their insurance policies. Members of the public are advised to contact their insurers direct for any enquiries concerning the insurance policies.
Members of the public who suspect that they have become victims of fraudulent acts should report the case to the Hong Kong Police Force.
