In view of the recent deception cases involving the use of lost cards, credit card issuing companies maintained close liaison with the Crime Prevention Bureau (CPB) and requested that Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), through the Police Public Relations Branch (PPRB), revealed the tactics used by swindlers in its 'Police Magazine' television programme to arouse public awareness on such deception cases.

This was done. Recently, two swindlers attempted to deceive a jewellery shop in Stanley with a stolen credit card. Fortunately the person-in-charge of the shop, who had previously learnt the tactics used by swindlers, reported to the Police immediately, leading to the successful arrest of the two swindlers.

In appreciation of the professionalism and efficiency displayed by the relevant departments as well as the bravery and resourcefulness of the person-in-charge of the jewellery shop, credit card issuing companies presented plaques to Mr Wu Wing-kit, Head of Public and Current Affairs Section, Public Affairs Television Division, RTHK; Mr Ellis Lai, person-in-charge of Ellis Jewellery Company; CPB Superintendent Mr William Coalter, and a representative from PPRB.
