The Treasury today issued an alert regarding fraudulent emails purportedly sent by it, which seek to obtain recipients’ login credentials by inviting them to open an attachment said to be a remittance advice sent by the Treasury.

The Treasury clarified that although the emails showed a sender address identical to its email address (pa@try.gov.hk) used for sending out remittance advices, it did not send out such emails.

Apart from stressing that it has no connection with the emails, the Treasury said it has reported the case to Police for further investigation.

It also reminded the public not to open suspicious emails and attachments provided in such emails.
