Dah Sing Bank Statement on

Phishing Email Directing to Fraudulent Website

(Hong Kong, 1 June, 2023) - Dah Sing Bank, Limited (the "Bank") has become aware today that fraudsters have issued a phishing email, pretending it to be from the Bank. The phishing email requests customers or members of the public to click on a weblink which directs to a fraudulent website. The fraudulent website is designed to look like the Bank's official website, and asks users to enter their login credentials and other sensitive information.

The Bank hereby confirms and advises that the phishing email and fraudulent website have no connection with the Bank and its subsidiaries. Customers and members of the public are advised not to open such phishing email and not to provide any login credential or personal/financial information to suspicious websites.

The Bank will not send emails to customers with hyperlinks directing to log-in sites and/or to request for personal information. The Bank wishes to remind customers and the public not to disclose any sensitive personal information to any suspicious email and/or call without verification of the message sender's identity. The Bank's official email addresses always end with @dahsing.com as the domain name. The Bank's official website is at www.dahsing.com. Customers and the public should check the URL from time to time, and look for the secure padlock icon in the address bar before entering any login ID and password and/or personal/financial information.

The Bank has reported the case to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Hong Kong Police Force. Any customer or member of the public who has provided login credentials and/or personal/financial information via the phishing email and/or to fraudulent website should promptly call the Bank's Security Alert Hotline on 2828 8159 for assistance.
