Title Filipinos in HK Urged to Protect Themselves Against Money Laundering Schemes 5 Essential Tips

The Philippine Consulate General (PCG) has issued a critical warning to the Filipino community in Hong Kong, advising them against falling prey to money laundering syndicates targeting foreign domestic workers. With over 196,000 Filipinos working as household helpers in Hong Kong in 2023, it is imperative that they stay informed and take necessary precautions.

To help protect themselves from these schemes, here are 5 key insights

### 1. Guard Your Personal Documents

The PCG strongly advises against sharing copies of your identification or travel documents with strangers. This includes your Hong Kong ID, passport, ATM cards, and other personal documents. Remember to always err on the side of caution when dealing with unfamiliar individuals.

### 2. Be Vigilant Against Online Scams

Be cautious of online offers or games that seem too good to be true. Some money laundering syndicates may promise payment in exchange for your Hong Kong ID and a photograph of your face, supposedly to activate an online game. However, this is actually a ploy to open a virtual bank account under your name.

### 3. Secure Your ATM Cards

Ensure you do not write your personal identification numbers (PINs) on your ATM cards. This allows the syndicates to use the bank account as a stooge account for money laundering purposes. If you lose your ATM card, report it immediately to the Hong Kong Immigration Department, the Consulate, and/or to your respective banks.

### 4. Report Lost Documents Promptly

If you've lost your Hong Kong ID, passport, or ATM cards, do not hesitate to report them to the authorities. This will help prevent unauthorized use of these documents for money laundering purposes. The PCG recommends reporting immediately to the Hong Kong Immigration Department, the Consulate, and/or to your respective banks.

### 5. Stay Informed and Up-to-Date

Stay current with the latest warnings and advisories from the Philippine Consulate General and other relevant authorities. This will help you stay ahead of potential threats and keep your personal information safe.

Remember, it is always better to be proactive than reactive when dealing with strangers or online offers. By being aware of these schemes and taking necessary precautions, you can protect yourself and your loved ones from falling victim to money laundering rings.
