Caring the Community – Privacy Commissioner Shares the Latest Information on Fraud Prevention with the Elderly

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, together with the Volunteer Team of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), attended the Members’ Assembly of the Wan Chai Methodist Centre for the Seniors on 3 December to show their care for the elderly. In the event, the Privacy Commissioner shared the latest information on fraud prevention and practical tips with around 200 elders to enhance their vigilance. She also highlighted the recent emergence of phishing SMS messages impersonating charitable organisations and purporting to solicit donations for victims of the Tai Po fire disaster in an attempt to lure the public into clicking embedded links that lead to fraudulent fundraising websites designed to rip off donations.
