Dear Students,
In recent years, fraudsters have used a range of deceptive tactics to swindle money, and the situation has worsened in recent times. Several CUHK students have already fallen victim to telephone scams, incurring significant financial losses, with impersonation scams being the most serious among them. In addition, there have recently been cases of fraudsters impersonating university professors and deceiving students into purchasing reading materials, resulting in financial losses.
To stay alert against deception, you are highly recommended to access the latest leaflet of phone scam from police at
http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/osa/lces/NewsLibrary/Phone scam_EN.pdf.
You are also highly recommended to browse the website of Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (www.adcc.gov.hk/en-hk/home.html) and websites below for the latest modus operandi of deception and scam alerts and to remind your classmates and friends.
In addition, you can also browse the latest scam alerts (按此) and make use of Scameter to identify potential frauds and online pitfalls.
We hereby alert you to be watchful on suspected telephone frauds:
- Do not disclose your personal particulars to strangers, including your HKID numbers, bank account numbers, online banking accounts and PIN codes;
- Genuine law enforcement agencies will NEVER handle cases, issue warrants, or request payments over the phone.
- Real arrest warrants are NEVER sent through social media or chat apps.
Do not download any unknown applications, or click on any links or open any attachments embedded in suspicious emails, or input any information into unknown applications or websites.
You should always pay attention to the website of the Anti-Fraud Coordination Center of the Hong Kong Police Force at https://www.adcc.gov.hk/en-hk/home.html, and remind friends and classmates around you;
Please call the Police’s “Anti-Scam Helpline 18222” if in doubt, or call 999 for any emergency.
The Hong Kong Immigration Department (ImmD) has produced a publicity video (click here) to educate members of the public on how to deal with suspicious unknown calls in order to avoid falling prey to scams, in response to frequent telephone deception cases in which scammers impersonate ImmD staff.
Finally, please remember that although scammers employ various tactics, their ultimate goal is your “money”. Therefore, please “pause, check, and investigate” to properly protect your assets when it comes to any financial requests.

各位同學：
近年，不法之徒利用各式各样的行骗手法骗取金钱，情况近期更见恶化。至今已有多位中大学生坠入电话骗案，损失金额庞大，其中以『假冒官员』电话骗案最为严重。此外，近期亦有骗徒假冒大学教授，讹称同学需要购买阅读材料，导致同学蒙受金钱损失。
警方最新有关预防电话骗案单张, 请参阅：http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/osa/lces/NewsLibrary/Phone scam_SC.pdf
警方反诈骗协调中心亦有制作短片讲解「假冒官员」电话骗案的手法及防骗贴士，藉此加强学生识别骗案的能力，不因对方能讲出自己的个人资料或展示疑似拘捕令而堕入骗局。 请同学们按以下连结浏览短片及网页，以了解如何提防电话骗案，避免成为下一位受害者。
此外，大家也可浏览最新骗案警示（按此），和使用一站式诈骗陷阱搜寻器「防骗视伏器」，了解最新的诈骗手法和辨识诈骗及网络陷阱，以免招受财物损失。
现特此提醒各位同学提高警觉：
- 切勿向陌生人透露个人资料：包括身份证号码、银行户口号码、网上银行及电子货币包帐户及密码；
- 真正的执法机构绝不会通过电话处理案件、签发逮捕令或要求付款；
- 真实的逮捕令绝不会通过社交媒体或聊天应用程序发送；
切勿下载不明来历的应用程序及打开可疑电邮内的链接或附件，或者将任何数据输入到不明来历的应用程序或网址；
大家应常留意香港警务处反诈骗协调中心的网页https://www.adcc.gov.hk/zh-cn/home.html，并提醒身边朋友及同学；
如有任何怀疑，可致电警方「防骗易」咨询热线18222。如遇上紧急情况，请致电999求助。
鉴于骗徒经常伪冒香港入境事务处（入境处）人员进行电话诈骗，因此，入境处近日拍摄宣传短片(按此)，教导市民处理可疑陌生来电，以免受骗。
请谨记，虽然骗徒手法层出不穷，但不论手法如何，其目标终究是你的「钱」，所以当涉及金钱问题时，请「停一停，查一查」，好好保护自己的财产。
