The Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS) Office of the Health Bureau today reminded the public to stay vigilant against fraudulent VHIS advertisements to safeguard their personal interests.

The VHIS Office has recently noticed that some advertisements were placed on social media under the pretext of promoting VHIS products, inducing the public to click on embedded hyperlinks to fraudulent websites.

It emphasised that it does not request members of the public to click on hyperlinks through advertisements, emails, text messages, or any other means, nor does it collect any personally identifiable information on its website.

Members of the public should avoid clicking on suspicious advertisements, and refrain from providing personal particulars to any unverified websites.

The office has already contacted Police and relevant social media platforms for follow-up.
