Contributing to the Community – Privacy Commissioner’s Office Volunteer Team Distributes Anti-Fraud Posters and Medical Supplies to Social Welfare Organisations

On 12 October 2022, the Anti-Epidemic Volunteer Team (Volunteer Team) of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) distributed anti-fraud posters produced by the PCPD to two social welfare organisations, namely Po Leung Kuk Wan Chai Home for the Elderly cum Day Care Centre for the Elderly and Wan Chai Methodist Centre for the Seniors, with a view to raising the elderly’s awareness of fraudulent scams.
 
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, said, “Different kinds of scams were reported recently in which personal data were obtained from members of the public, leading to monetary losses being suffered by the victims or their relatives. In view of that, the PCPD has produced anti-fraud posters to offer some tips on the prevention of fraud. We hope to raise the awareness of the community, especially the elderly, to watch out for personal data fraud.”
 
Taking the opportunity, the Volunteer Team also made donations of anti-epidemic medical supplies to the above-mentioned social welfare organisations. The medical supplies included approximately 1,100 N95 protective face masks, 1,200 sets of rapid test kits, 1,000 disinfectant hand sanitisers and 400 face shields.
