The Regional Crime Prevention Office (RCPO) of New Territories South (NTS) published Scam Brief • End Scam, a quarterly anti-deception bulletin, in the first quarter of this year. It aims to share with members of the public the latest modus operandi (M.O.) of and information about scams, so as to boost public awareness of bringing scams to an end - End Scam.

Scam Brief • End Scam is published quarterly with various columns such as “Scam Charts”, “Join Hands with Police”, “Feature Interview” and “Anti-crime Info Express”. “Scam Charts” list the number of deception cases received and amount of loss in each quarter in NTS. In the first quarter of 2022, the top three types of fraud cases reported in NTS were e-shopping, employment and investment. Citizens who have assisted the Police to prevent deception or have fallen victim to scams are invited for interviews to give their first-person narrative for sharing the M.O. of the scam or how they were deceived. The bulletin also provides anti-deception tips to caution members of the public against scams to prevent them from becoming the next victim.

In addition to its electronic version available via mobile communication applications and e-mail, hard copies of Scam Brief • End Scam are distributed to stakeholders and members of the public at housing estates and local organisations in NTS.
