Several incidents have come to the Police’s attention where fraudulent telephone calls were made by swindlers who impersonated officials of consulates in Hong Kong. Please stay alert!
Modus Operandi
Swindlers, pretending to be English-speaking officials of consulates in Hong Kong, phoned victims and claimed that their immigration documents did not meet the requirements. Then, swindlers would demand the victims to transfer money to overseas bank accounts to sort things out.
Our Advice
