Enhancing Awareness to Prevent Fraud – Privacy Commissioner’s Office Launches the Second Episode of Anti-fraud Promotional Video

To raise public awareness of the prevention of fraud, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) has launched a series of anti-fraud promotional activities under the theme of “Don’t Hand Over Your Personal Data – Beware of Fraudsters” this year. The activities comprise among other things, the launch of short videos on fraud prevention starring artistes Alice FUNG So-bor (馮素波) and Timothy CHENG Tse-sing (鄭子誠), which aim to remind the public to stay vigilant in protecting their personal data privacy so as to avoid property loss.
 
The campaign was kick-started with the first episode titled “Fake Membership Awards Programme”, which was broadcast on the PCPD’s official YouTube channel and local TV channels in June this year. It greatly enhanced the awareness of personal data privacy protection among the public. Following its success, the second episode, with the theme of “Promotional Gifts Scam”, has been published on the PCPD’s official YouTube channel starting from today (17 August) to remind citizens not to disclose personal data out of greed.

The PCPD has also placed anti-fraud promotional posters on MTR train compartments for two weeks until 30 August.
