Important Reminders on Internet Scams and Telephone Deception

If you have any doubts or require further help, please call the Anti-Scam Helpline at 18222 operated by the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre of the Hong Kong Police Force.

We would like to bring to your attention the recent surge in internet scams and telephone deception cases in Hong Kong. These types of crimes have become increasingly prevalent in recent years, and many individuals have fallen victim to scams, including telephone deception, online romance scams, and investment fraud.

Scammers often impersonate employees of reputable organisations, such as express companies or government departments like the Hong Kong Immigration Department or the Department of Health. We strongly advise you to remain vigilant and avoid disclosing any personal information or transferring money to these individuals.

If you have any doubts, we highly recommend that you reach out to the Anti-Scam Helpline at 18222. The helpline is operated by the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC) of the Hong Kong Police Force, which serves as a valuable resource for the public.

ADCC serves as a centre to provide instant telephone consultation services, educate the public on how to prevent deception, and closely monitor and analyse trends in deception cases.
