How to Verify Genuine Hawaii’s Choice Transactions and Avoid Spoofing Scams
As Hawaii’s Choice continues to expand across global markets, we’ve seen an increase in fraudulent emails and look-alike websites pretending to represent our brand. This article explains how to recognize genuine communications from YICK LUNG – Hawaii’s Choice and protect yourself from spoofing or impersonation scams that target suppliers and buyers worldwide.
What Is “Spoofing” or Brand Impersonation?
Spoofing occurs when a fraudster copies a company’s documents or email signatures to appear legitimate. The impersonator may send quotations or invoices under a false identity and request wire transfers to unrelated bank accounts. While no breach of our systems has occurred, we are sharing this information to help partners stay vigilant.

How Spoofing Scams Typically Work (Educational Example)
In a common pattern, a scammer pretends to be a company representative, uses genuine-looking product documents, and asks for deposits to unrelated accounts. Victims later discover the impersonation only after the fraudster disappears. The lesson: always verify directly with the company’s official contact before making any payment.
