The Fire Services Department (FSD) today appealed to the public to stay alert to a video of unknown origin on the Internet, carrying a fraudulent fundraising message in the name of a family member of the deceased fireman, Ho Wai-ho.

In an attempt to deceive, the fraudulent message included a bank account under a name highly similar to that of the family member. The department has immediately referred the case to Police for follow-up.

Should people wish to express their support for the family of the deceased fireman by making donations, they may do so via either of the following:

1. Deposit into the bank account of Ho Shing, Ho Wai-ho's father
Account Name: HO SHING
Account Number: 039-744-1-039365-9 (Chiyu Banking Corporation Ltd)

2. Issue a cheque and send it to the FSD via mail or in person for forwarding, payable to “何勝” or “HO SHING”
