Police warn of fake ‘eTraffic’ sites
The Police Force has alerted the public to fraudulent websites purporting to be its “eTraffic Ticket Platform”.
The websites falsely claim that discounts are available for early fine payment, in an attempt to deceive citizens into providing their credit card details and personal information.
The genuine web address of the Police Force’s “eTraffic Ticket Platform” is https://www.etrafficticket.gov.hk. Members of the public are urged to remain vigilant.
The force emphasised that no discounts are offered for the payment of traffic ticket fines.
Moreover, SMS messages about electronic Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) will only be issued under the sender name “#HKPF-eTT”, and these 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 platform enquiries.
