Features of Scam Calls
Some common features of such scam calls include:
- offering to help the scheme member apply for early withdrawal of MPF;
- advising the scheme member to make a false statutory declaration in order to withdraw their MPF benefits on the ground of permanent departure from Hong Kong;
- advising or assisting the scheme member to apply for withdrawal of MPF by submitting false supporting documents to the MPF trustee;
- purporting to be a representative of an MPF trustee, MPF intermediary or intermediary company;
- charging a high percentage of the amount of MPF withdrawn by the scheme member as commission or handling fees; and
- in some cases, persuading the scheme member to invest the withdrawn MPF into some suspicious overseas investment plan.
Smart Tips
To protect your interests, scheme members should:
- not disclose any personal information to any unknown third parties;
- not sign on any blank or incomplete forms;
- if the identity of the intermediary is in doubt, check the MPFA’s register and contact the principal intermediary concerned to confirm the identity of the alleged intermediary; and
- report any suspicious fraudulent activity to the Police.
Scheme members are reminded to stay vigilant and not to make any false MPF claims. Any person who makes a false or misleading statement in this regard to MPF trustee commits an offence and is liable to a maximum fine of $100,000 and one year’s imprisonment on a first conviction.
If in doubt, please call the MPFA hotline on 2918 0102 or Police for enquiries or visit Police's Anti-Deception Coordination Centre's website (www.adcc.gov.hk).
