短訊騙案｜收個SMS就中招？認住「＃」號識別真假電訊商 ( English version for this article is not available )
大家有沒有收過冒認銀行、電訊公司、連銷零售商店的詐騙短訊？這些詐騙短訊的內容幾可亂真，一不留神就會中計，招致損失。有見及此，通訊事務管理局辦公室早前推出「短訊發送人登記制」，所有由已獲官方認證的發送人（首階段覆蓋本地主要電訊商）發出的SMS，都會以「#」號作開頭，方便市民識別短訊發送人身份。
積分到期？其實呃緊你！
近期SMS騙案常用的手法，是在短訊中聲稱受害人的積分快到期，或可以低價換領會員限定獎賞，並附有釣魚連結，當受害人透過連結進入假網站並輸入登入及信用卡資料，騙徒就可以盜用受害人的積分或碌卡購物。被冒充的機構包括HKT The Club、中國移動MyLink、數碼通和yuu等。
覆蓋本地主要電訊商
「短訊發送人登記制」首階段覆蓋本地主要電訊商，當已登記的電訊公司發訊息給你，就會看到以「＃」開頭的公司名稱。
例子：
中國移動香港：#CMHK , #CMHK_SIM, #CMHKebill
香港移動通訊：#1010 , #csl ,#cslPrepaid, #ClubSim
和記電訊：#3HK, #SoSIM, #3HK_Renew, #My3_App
數碼通：#SmarTone, #SMC Plus, #PaybySTBil
Hong Kong Telecommunications (HKT) Limited: #HKT, #Netvigator, #MyHKT, #HKTprepaid
香港寬頻網絡：#HKBN, #HKBNMobile, #HKBN-CS
市民亦可到通訊辦網頁查核已登記公司名單：https://www.ofca.gov.hk/filemanager/ofca/tc/content_1684/namelist.pdf
以後如果收到無「#」號開頭又聲稱是電訊商的SMS，還附上連結，可以一律少理！警方反詐騙協調中心亦已經加入登記制度，其提示短訊會以「#ADCC18222」作發送人名稱，大家要認清楚！
