Fake Police Uniforms and Pretend Official Trap: Postgraduate Student Loses Over HK$1 Million
2025-11-12
Would you drop your guard at the sight of a police uniform? Recently, a postgraduate student let down their defenses during a video call when seeing the scammer wearing a police uniform and providing an “Police officer ID number.” In fact, fake police uniforms and arrest warrants are common tactics used in scams! Always remember: Mainland Public Security Bureau Officials will not call you while you are in Hong Kong, nor will they ask you to transfer money or pay “guarantee fees”.
