The Police Force has alerted the public to fraudulent SMS messages purporting to be from its “eTraffic Ticket Platform”.

The messages contain hyperlinks that lead to fake websites posing as the official platform’s “Verify/Pay Ticket” page, and are clearly an attempt to deceive citizens into providing their credit card details and personal information.

The force clarified that the fraudulent URLs included in the SMS messages, namely https://etraffictickot.top/hk/ and https://etrafticket.one/hk, are not official platforms. Members of the public are urged not to click on the hyperlinks.

The genuine web address of the Police Force’s “eTraffic Ticket Platform” is https://www.etrafficticket.gov.hk.

The force emphasised that SMS messages about electronic Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) are only ever issued under the sender name “#HKPF-eTT”, and that FPNs, whether issued via SMS messages or email, will never contain any hyperlinks.

Anyone who has submitted personal information via the fraudulent websites should report the matter to the force by calling 18222.

Call 181 181 for enquiries about the platform.
