To enhance public awareness of fraud prevention, the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC) is organising the “Anti-Deception Month” in April and joining hands with the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau, the Crime Prevention Bureau, the Police Public Relations Branch and the Regional Crime Prevention Offices to hold a series of anti-deception publicity activities.

The “Anti-Deception Month” was kicked off with the launch of “The Race Against Fraud”, an anti-telephone deception video starring Deputy Commissioner (Operations) Siu Chak-yee. The video demonstrates the concerted effort made by ADCC, Scam Response Team and the banking sector in combating deception.

In addition, “ADCC One-stop Platform” website was launched on April 1 to provide one-stop services and multimedia anti-deception information. A subscription function will be added in the third quarter this year, enabling members of the public to subscribe to anti-deception information of specific types of deception cases.

Moreover, a six-episode television series will be aired on free-to-air television channels from April 26. Apart from introducing ADCC, the series reveals different defrauding tricks and provides prevention tips against telephone deception, employment fraud, online romance and investment scams, financial intermediary deception as well as scams involving the disclosure of bank account passwords.

Since March 4, ADCC has launched a four-month publicity campaign by deploying its “Anti-Deception Everywhere” promotion truck to visit 21 police districts across the territory. Officers of the Commercial Crime Bureau, together with police officers of various districts, community leaders and the Force’s anti-scam mascot “The Little Grape”, will broadcast promotional videos and distribute anti-deception promotion materials at places where the promotion truck stops.
