The Insurance Authority (IA) today (7 April 2025) wishes to alert members of the public to phishing emails from two email addresses namely “contact@h-k-ala[.]site” and “info@hkala[.]site” that contain a link luring recipients to visit fraudulent websites with the domain names of “hxxps://ala-og[.]site/” and “hxxps://ala-hk[.]site/” respectively which intend to defraud personal or payment information. The aforesaid fraudulent websites purport to be the official website of an authorized insurer of Hong Kong, AIA International Limited (AIA). AIA has confirmed that it has no connection with the phishing emails and fraudulent websites.
The case has been reported to the Hong Kong Police Force for further investigation. Anyone who has provided personal information or has conducted any insurance transactions through replying to the phishing emails or visiting the aforesaid fraudulent websites should call AIA Customer Service Hotline at (852) 2232-8888, and report the case to the Hong Kong Police Force.
