Escape from Scams

The Anti-Deception Coordination Centre has launched a new series of publicity videos this year, which consists of three episodes on the theme of “Escape from Scams”. The story centres on the experiences of a family of four who encounters scammers, with the resourceful daughter as the lead role throughout the episodes, vividly illustrating the family’s struggles in the face of different types of fraud. Thanks to the daughter’s timely reminders, the crises – the mother experiencing an online shopping scam, the father falling into an investment scam, and the grandfather receiving calls purportedly from customer services and officials – are solved one by one.

 

 

 

 

 

The family is alerted to the dangers of scams in time!

Mum, who is an online shopaholic, dad, who craves returns from investment, and grandpa, who keeps pace with trends, one after another, become the targets of scammers. A scam is quietly arriving, dragging the family into dangerous traps!
