Beware of Scams

HCI bank account details do not change.
We have been made aware of individuals and organizations falsely presenting themselves as HSING CHAU INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (HCI) or as affiliated with HCI. These messages typically concern business transactions and payment, and they often look legitimate, carrying real order references, payment terms, and a new bank account number.
Any communication asking you to send payment to a different bank account did not come from HCI. Please continue to use the bank details already confirmed in your past transactions with us.
How to recognise HCI communications
All HCI staff write from our official mail domain, @mail.hci.com.tw. Our general company address is hci@hci.com.tw. Fraudulent messages often use an address that differs by a single character, an added word, or a different domain ending. Read the full address rather than the display name, which can be set to anything.
Warning signs
1. An email address that closely resembles ours but is not identical
2. A request to send payment to new or different bank account details, at any stage of an order
3. Unfamiliarity with the actual status of your ongoing project with HCI
4. Pressure to act immediately, or a request to keep the transaction confidential
5. A change of contact person that you were not told about in advance
Verify before you pay
If anything in a payment request looks unusual, verify it through a channel you already trust before transferring funds. Do not reply to the message in question and do not call a number given inside it.
1. Email us at hci@hci.com.tw
2. Call us at +886-2-8797-1111
3. Use the Contact Us form on this website
Verifying a payment request takes a few minutes. Recovering a misdirected transfer rarely does.
If you have already made a payment
Act quickly, since recall is only possible within a short window.
1. Contact your bank immediately and ask them to attempt a recall of the transfer
2. Report the incident to your local law enforcement authority
3. Inform us at hci@hci.com.tw so we can assist and alert other customers
Keep all related evidence, including the original emails with full headers, phone and fax records, and copies of any documents received.
HCI is not responsible for payments made to accounts other than those confirmed through our official channels.
