Two Filipinos were arrested with three others after they allegedly attempted to encash two fake letters of credit amounting to US$10 billion at an HSBC branch in Central yesterday (Feb. 10), according to new reports.
The two – a 68-year old man who claimed to be a businessman
and a 38-year-old woman who claimed to be a lawyer – were arrested after they presented the fake documents at the
HSBC branch in China Bldg. on Queens Road, Central, using them to open an
account.
