The Regional Crime Prevention Office of Kowloon West (RCPO KW) held “Anti-Deception Week” publicity campaign from April 22 to 28, in order to disseminate anti-scam messages to the public through various channels.

The RCPO KW sent out an anti-scam voice message recorded by artiste Ms Tam Yuk-ying to different sectors of the community in the Region through Project VanGUARD, the three District Fight Crime Committees and four kaifong associations in the Region, to ensure that the public could receive the anti-scam message while staying at home during the COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, RCPO KW officers put up posters, which were particularly designed to highlight the modus operandi of prevalent deception cases, at the lift lobbies of all public housing estates in the Region with the assistance of the Housing Department.

During the campaign period, RCPO KW officers also distributed leaflets and souvenirs to members of the public in the Region, alerting them to remain vigilant against prevalent deception cases.
