I discovered my recipient's mobile number has been flagged in Scameter. How come the bank did not alert me when I now try to make payment to this FPS proxy ID?
The scam prevention alert is generated based on information collected from scam reports provided by the Hong Kong Police Force and updated from time to time on a daily basis. Please check again that the payee is trustworthy before you proceed with the transaction.
I discovered my recipient's mobile number has been flagged in Scameter. How come the bank did not alert me when I previously made payment to this FPS proxy ID?

If there has not been any report to the Police against a particular FPS proxy ID, the proxy ID will not be included in the scam prevention alert.
Why are scam prevention alerts generated only for FPS proxy IDs when I conduct online transfers but no scam prevention alert is generated for bank accounts? (the online Scameter offers search service of suspicious bank accounts too)

How would I know if my recipient’s mobile number/email address/FPS Identifier is flagged for scam prevention alert?

You are advised not to make any transactions to the recipient unless you have carefully verified the recipient’s identity and ensure that the recipient is trustworthy.
If I confirm to the bank to proceed with an FPS transfer with FPS proxy ID (i.e. mobile number/email address/FPS Identifier) flagged as “High Risk” and subsequently realize being scammed, what should I do?
If you suspect you have been scammed, you may visit a police station or the Hong Kong Police Force e-Report Centre (https://www.police.gov.hk/ppp_en or https://www.police.gov.hk/ppp_tc) to file a report. In tandem, please report the case to the Bank.
If a recipient’s mobile number is flagged as “High Risk”, will his/her email address or FPS Identifier also be flagged by the scam prevention alert?
The FPS proxy IDs flagged as "High Risk" in Scameter and included in the scam prevention alert are based on information collected from scam reports provided by the Hong Kong Police Force. If there has not been any report to the Police against a particular FPS proxy ID, the proxy ID will not be included in the scam prevention alert.
Can I confirm and accept the scam prevention alert message and make FPS transfer to the FPS proxy ID on the scam prevention alert?
Yes, you can, but please be reminded that the transaction has high risk of fraud. You are advised to always verify the payment details (including the recipient’s identity) of every single transaction before making payment.
