The Transport Department today alerted the public to fraudulent SMS messages purportedly issued by HKeToll, which contain hyperlinks to fake websites that include “gov.hk.etoll.cloud”, “gov.hk.etolli.co” and “gov.police.etoll.ink”.

The department stressed that the SMS messages seek to deceive recipients into making payments which call for obtaining their vehicle registration marks and credit card information.

It also clarified that the messages were not issued by HKeToll and the case has been reported to Police for follow-up action.

Additionally, the department reminded the public that HKeToll will not send SMS messages or emails to vehicle owners with hyperlinks which direct them to websites to carry out transactions.

If a vehicle owner wishes to pay an outstanding toll online, they must log in to the HKeToll website or mobile app.

The department urged citizens to stay alert when receiving unidentified messages and refrain from visiting suspicious websites or disclosing personal data, adding that anyone who has provided personal information to such websites should contact Police.
