The Communications Authority today (December 11) launched a promotion truck tour campaign themed "Stay Vigilant Against Phone Scams - Verify Again for Peace of Mind". The promotion truck will tour Hong Kong's 18 districts from today to December 19 to enhance the promotion of anti-phone scam messages to the public through exhibitions and games. The campaign has received support and participation from the District Anti-Phone Deception Ambassadors of various districts.
 
     A spokesman for the Office of the Communications Authority (OFCA) said, "The publicity campaign aims to remind members of the public to always stay vigilant against unknown telephone calls and short messages, and to refrain from disclosing their personal or account information, or transferring money to unfamiliar callers or message senders under any circumstances. It also aims to inform the public about the various anti-phone scam measures jointly implemented by OFCA, the telecommunications industry and law enforcement agencies."
 
     The Director-General of Communications, Mr Chaucer Leung, visited one of the parking locations of the promotion truck on Hennessy Road in Wan Chai today to introduce anti-phone scam information to members of the public. He also distributed promotional leaflets and souvenirs to remind members of the public to stay vigilant at all times against unfamiliar telephone calls and short messages.
 
     OFCA has launched the District Anti-Phone Deception Ambassador Scheme in January this year. District Council (DC) members and their ward offices' staff members of all 18 districts in Hong Kong were invited to be ambassadors, with a view to promoting anti-phone scam messages to the public through concerted efforts at the local level in a more comprehensive manner. The scheme has received support from over 150 DC members' ward offices covering all 18 districts in Hong Kong. Since the implementation of the scheme, OFCA has been actively collaborating with the ambassadors to promote anti-phone scam messages through various activities, including roadshows, community talks, and school talks.
 
     Details of the promotion truck campaign, including the tour schedule and parking locations, are available at OFCA's website (www.ofca.gov.hk/trucktour).
