Recently, the ICAC and Greece’s National Transparency Authority (NTA) co-organised the “Meaningful Youth Engagement in Anti-Corruption Work” regional anti-corruption professional development programme. The programme brought the Commission’s innovative youth anti-corruption education model to the international stage and helped countries harness the power of youth to build a new generation committed to integrity.
The ICAC stated that international collaboration is the strongest weapon in the global fight against corruption. The Commission was also honoured to invite Ms Alexandra Rogkakou, Governor of the NTA, to share her insights on international anti-corruption training.

HKICL alerts public of fraudulent websites
The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority:
Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited (HKICL) has recently noted two fraudulent websites purported to be from HKICL:
These fraudulent websites imitate as "Buyer Online Protection" to provide services including 1) refund to buyer, 2) unauthorised online transaction reporting, and 3) online transaction support, for online transaction over FPS payment. In addition, they also trick users into providing bank name, bank account number and bank account holder's name to top up and withdraw money from their platforms' virtual wallet. Further, they direct users to a fraudster impersonating as customer service personnel.
HKICL advises that these fraudulent websites have no affiliation with HKICL, or any business of HKICL. HKICL will not directly provide FPS service to individual members of the public or contact individual members of the public proactively under usual circumstance. The genuine official website addresses of HKICL are www.hkicl.com.hk and fps.hkicl.com.hk.
HKICL urges the public to beware of suspicious calls, websites or other communications, and to remain vigilant in protecting personal information. If members of the public receive any suspicious communication purportedly from HKICL, please call HKICL's general line at 2533 1111 to verify. Members of the public who suspect that theyhave become the victim of fraudulent acts should report promptly to the Police.
