Scam Alert: Phishing Websites Impersonating UOB Kay Hian

uobkhs.com

The Singapore Police Force observes a trend of phishing scams involving fake websites impersonating UOB Kay Hian. These scam sites, such as 'uobkhs.com', are designed to trick victims into revealing their personal and login information, often for investment or trading accounts.

How to recognise these scams:

• Check the URL carefully: Scammers create websites with URLs that are very similar to the official UOB Kay Hian website, often with slight misspellings or extra characters. Always verify the full URL in your browser's address bar.
• Be wary of unsolicited links: Exercise caution with links received via SMS, email, or social media that claim to be from UOB Kay Hian, especially if they prompt you to log in or update your details. Always access official websites by typing the URL directly into your browser.

What to do if you are affected:

If you suspect you have entered your details on a scam website:

• Immediately change your passwords for your UOB Kay Hian account and any other online accounts that share the same password.
• Contact UOB Kay Hian directly through their official customer service channels to report the incident and seek assistance. Do not use contact details provided on the suspicious website.
• Report the incident to the police.
