WeLab Bank: Phishing Scam Alert (18 July 2025)

18 Jul 2025

Hong Kong, 18 July 2025  - WeLab Bank (“the Bank”) would like to alert our customers and the public to a recent fraudulent activity involving scammers impersonating representatives of the Bank’s parent company, WeLab and extending false job offers. We are aware of instances where scammers are contacting individuals via social media channels and messaging platforms, primarily X (formerly Twitter), offering employment opportunities and attempting to collect personal information. These scammers falsely associate themselves with WeLab and our affiliated companies and leverage on our official websites and LinkedIn page to create a false appearance of legitimacy. Please be advised that WeLab does not maintain an official presence on X and does not utilize X for recruitment purposes. Any accounts claiming to represent WeLab on X are fraudulent. We urge customers and the public to exercise vigilance and adhere to the following safety guidelines:
  • Do not click on any links sent by unverified sources.
  • Do not disclose any personal or financial information to individuals claiming to represent WeLab through unsolicited communications.
  • Please feel free to seek verification of any job offers or report any suspicious activity directly to WeLab through our official LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/welab-limited or contact us at [email protected].
WeLab prioritizes the security of its customers and the integrity of its brand. We are actively addressing this matter and have reported the matter to the Hong Kong Police Force. If customers are concerned that they may have disclosed their personal information to these scammers, please report to the Police or the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau (CSTCB) of the Hong Kong Police Force.
