Clarification from HKUMed
The Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has recently received reports that certain individuals or entities have impersonated the Dean of Medicine, Professor Chak Sing Lau, by contacting multiple companies via telephone and instant messaging applications to solicit commercial quotations and to request meetings.
The Faculty hereby clarifies: For matters related to procurement and services, our staff will usually contact suppliers or service providers using HKU's office phone numbers and email accounts. The Dean will not, in his personal capacity, unilaterally request commercial quotations on behalf of the Faculty. We urge all parties to remain vigilant and not to provide information, responding to quotation requests, or arranging meetings with unknown callers or messages.
The Faculty reserves the right to take legal action against acts of impersonation.
