Hongkong Post today appealed to the public to stay alert to a fraudulent job advertisement published on a recruitment website.

The advertisement involves the purported recruitment of postal assistant clerks to work in the Kowloon Bay Post Office on the production and delivery of philatelic products.

Hongkong Post clarified that it had not published the job advertisement in question. The case has been reported to Police, and the recruitment website has also been requested to follow up on the matter.

Hongkong Post reminded the public that its job advertisements are not posted on third-party platforms. Information on job vacancies will only be published on the Hongkong Post website and the Civil Service Bureau website, for open recruitment.

Those who have provided personal information to suspicious websites or unknown people via the advertisement should contact Police.

For enquiries, call Hongkong Post at 2921 2222 or write to hkpo@hkpo.gov.hk.
